New Somali Capital

[waranlee]

If the the Capitol was moved, what new city should it be moved to?

I Personally think we should stick with the god forsaken Capitol and fix it up bc it has too much historical Importance

 

[Genie]

even as a lander Mogadishu should still be our capital , although all states should have their own ' capital' or political district.

 

[Jjero]

None
Mogadishu should still be our captial even if we changed

 

[Arman]

After unification, an equal amount of every tribe should be moved into a minority controlled area. That way, it will (hopefully) never be called out as tribalistic. We can only change capitals if we have the funds to, which we probably will not have even in the future. Also, Modagishu is too risky. You always have to sleep with 1 eye open there.

It will be an equal game of who can breed the most. lol

LOOOOL not that deep still think about it all the terrorist attacks happen their as soon as you switch it to hargeisa or something we deal with the repercussion , brianless faraxs these days for all i care mogadishu is fit to deal with lunatics. Imagine hargeisa taking constant blows. no just no.

 

[Prince of Lasanod]

We need a new capital in Ogadenia when it's free inshallah. I think it's the best location.

Explain why.

 

[Boqor Geeljire252]

Mogadishu is and will remain the eternal capital.

 

[government]

Mogadishu is the most industrialized city in somalia so we should keep it as the capital

 

[SOMALI GENERAL]

Back in the old days, Mogadishu was known as the white pearl.


Tbh the capital should be moved temporarily until things get better in Mogadishu.

Somewhere with easily defensible natural barriers. Karkaar mountian range perhaps?

There are no natural defenses in Somalia. A land invasion could easily evade that area and go on an alternate route.

 

[Vanguard]

f*ck you, we're not moving the capital

 

[waraabe]

Hargeisa isn't in your country

 

[merka]

It should be moved to somewhere in Jubbaland. Maybe then more people will start to take up farming as a living.

Sad. Terrorists and foreign armies can just bulldoze through our flat lands with logistical ease

Aka federalism.

In a sense, this has benefited the various states/regions outside the control of the non-existent govt as it meant that new projects and infrustucture have sprang up (most recently hobyo airport) across Somalia where previously the kacaan era mostly invested in the south.

But on the whole, i personally believe that federalism is a detriment to the Somali nation in the long-term since that it will inspire tribalist "my tuulo" sentiment as seen in several pop-up faux states (awdal, maakhir, khaatumo etc.)

Federalism does seems to work well in countries with a large land mass/population (US, Germany) and in countries with many ethnic groups (India). Somalia isn't like that plus they have belligerent neighbours who'd love to see further fragmentation of Somalia and a federalist Somalia is an easy route to do just that.

On the whole, the only way for Somalia to succeed is to have a centralised state (that also invests proportionally across the country) with xamar as it's capital.

I may sound biased (Somaliland hanoolaato!) but at most there should be two separate Somali nations: Somalia and Somaliland and no federalism as a form of governance for both nations.

Heavily militarized bases in strategic locations around the country can prevent that.

 

[Striker]

No we need to build a new capital city in unhabited land.

Or else we will have stupid tribes getting more power in politics and economics sectors.
