Is one man military rule better for Somalia

If Military Junta = lowering internal violence from terrorism/civil strife than Sahel and Myanmar would be going gang busters right now

I would have agreed however the problem with military rule is that any disagreement is often met with military action. For instance, if a clan opposes the ruler, he may call in the military to suppress them. This has been a significant issue in the past.

I would prefer a governance style similar to Lee Kuan Yew’s, characterized by civil rule led by a strong leader who promotes Somali nationalism instead of clan rivalries. Just look at what he accomplished in Singapore.

It’s almost impossible to promote Somali nationalism in this day and age especially with the rise of social media everything is looked through a clan lense

The Chinese model could be effective. Shift focus from clans to the party. Strengthening the party would involve weakening the clan system and fortifying the country.
 
Somalia will eventually end up going back to military rule. When you are as irredentist as we are a strong military is a non-negotiable.

I would just prefer the future military to do disguised rule. Let the government(s) rule the way they want to and anytime they start some BS threaten a coup. Corruption would go down tenfold.

We’ve seen it before, military dictators don’t end up being good presidents.

Won't that also apply to nationalism, since you can use social media to push it harder for less cost and also pump out the fear factor of being replaced by Ethiopians and losing jobs due to clan bullshit?

Why can't you get a job, this is because of the clan system of 4.5.

Then push out ideas of how Nationalism would work for the average Joe.

You don't get discriminated against due to whatever clan you come from, you can work anywhere in Somali, no more fighting over land etc. make everyone equal.

then in the classroom and educational system. While blocking and arresting anyone who pushes for clan activities. This could only work if we have a central rule.
 
What we have right now is bullshit we need a change status quo must change
The Kacaan period was only viable because of Cold War politics and Soviet Union money printer for welfare queens states in the third world most “military” ran countries are outpost with lineage from communist parties, military rebel leaders or Sahel shitshows developed by French and American training
