Mr. Robinson telling it like it is about Somalia in his book why nations fail

If this is true than central authority should belong to darood, we have the most land, a proven track record and the foresight to run the country. Just keepin it real

There are others too that have been successful historically. The Ajuuran (Samale not Hawiye) and the Gadabuursi have had successful city states.

Any President that doesn't destroy federalism will just be a paper president that will not last very long, the proof is in the pudding and Robinson sums up the reasons very well.

This is a monumental project, you have to be a populist candidate to stand any kind of chance, that's why Farmaajo has an opportunity no one else enjoyed since the civil-war, he is more popular in every federal state then the actual leaders, if Gaas/Madoobe/Osoble spoke out against him, the people will revolt.

The remedy for Qabyaald comes with nationalism, the type you hate your enemies 100x more then the Somali clan you despise the most, the type you would rather that so called enemy tribe rule you then the current filthy Xabashi or Kikuye.

This was not the case the past decades with "walaahena Ethiopia"utterances from large sections of Somali's, or those professing their love for Kikuyu, or even worse the blind pro secessionists.

Much of this is now coming to an end, with the public seeing leaders bow down to Xabashi's in a line-up, to dead Kikuye soldiers and having them run wild in the country with Xabashi General Gabre in the South and Brigadier General Berhe Tesfaye in the North shaping our destiny and future for us.

It's part of the collective shame and punishment by Allah, the regions which are the worst, no surprises have been suffering from the worst famines reoccurring every year to devastating effects, these are (using old 8 Gobals) Mudug, Bari, Wooqoyi Bari and to lesser extend Wooqoyi Galbeed & both Jubba's.

In this current cycle the worst affected ones marked in red with the most devastating waves are Bari & Wooqoyi Bari, the year before Mudug was the worst. Those last remaining pockets of resistance are being humbled/changed or eliminated, it's already causing revolts against federal leaders.

You don't see these type of Problems around Benadir, the people have been through so much wars, they have developed a fierce nationalistic spirit, I am always surprised every time I go back (soon my 11th), it's so fierce a guy from an enemy clan is voted for & receives the biggest welcome in the city, more then their very own clan leaders.

Were else in Somalia does this happen? no leader from another clan would survive in Garowe/Hargaisa or any other city, forget other clan, even some living amongst them won't. The rest of the country has a long way to go to catch up.

But I see lots of positive signs in the younger generations.

What have the people of Bari and Waqooyi Galbeed done to deserve this 'punishment'? Why did you overlook Bakool as well? Why did you leave out Bakool, and what have the people of Bakool done to deserve a wicked punishment? Only a few days ago it was reported that more than 50 people perished to starvation? If I am not mistaken the flow of the Shabelle river has been reduced to a meagre trickle, why are they suffering? I believe that Allah does punish us for transgression and etc., but I must that your argument is incredibly poor.

You sound like the fools that claimed qabyaalad died when Farmaajo was elected. Are the people of Mogadishu be less qabiilist because they elected a HAG President? Until I see a democratically elected Raxanweyne, Dir, or Non-Marehan Darood president I will refuse to accept the notion that the people of Mogadishu are less qabiilist than any other. I hope this stupid hegemony of the Somali government by particular clans ends as soon possible.

The only thing I can agree with your post is about Farmaajo's potential and how it comes from his popularism. It is important otherwise he will be unable to achieve much in his tenure like Abdullahi Yusuf who was met with incredible and unbelievable opposition even when he was including everyone in his new government.

I posted yesterday in your soothsaying post, the one about Gaas and his 'grand heist'. I am awaiting your response.
