why can't you unite then?Somalia always has been balkanised. The entire Kacaan era was just masking the clan divisions that already existed, because somalis have never been united ever.
@lalayariis not all Northerners were kicked out. If you were Isaaq you were safe in Mogadishu in the civil war. For example, I own a farm in Lower Shabelle it is looked after by an HY man that has lived there since the 90s. Also during the exodus, if you were Isaaq you were given a free passage to the main road to Beledweyne via Gashaamo then to Somaliland if you were Darood though indeed you would be killed.
Touché, I only really have the perspective of my parents and close relatives who are all Darood and from the north. My Hooyo to this day will never ever set foot in the south, and only flies through Hargeisa and then drives to Bosaso even though it is less convenient.@lalayariis not all Northerners were kicked out.

Don't listen to the propaganda spitted out by the Lander kids in here the only time it was dangerous to be an Isaaq in Mogadishu was under Siad Bare.
@Abdalla do you see any possible political scenario under which Puntland would ever seriously entertain secessionism and declare its independence?
I ask because it seems like PL has met all requirements of a sovereign state and clearly acts as one. Why not make the final push, say after more state democratization and elections are held?

By the way, she said Somalilanders are nice and they instantly recognized she was reer Bari when she said walaalo instead of walaal. They were about to rip her off, but instead instantly let her get on the plane.
In that case I would advocate for a central government
@Deactivated federalism is good to have safe spaces but it seems Somalis overdo it as usual like everything else.
It’s a qabdharan. But it’s ours.
What works for others may not work for us.
If it’s competitive Federalism then that’s what we will take.
It just makes it more difficult for foreigners to Qaas Somalia. It’s like herding cats.
Federalism protects Somalia and deludes the powers of foreign interests.
Ain't that the opposite. Without a strong central government, it is easier to bribe the mamuul goboleeds as we have seen so far.
So the only two options are giving federal states unlimited power to do what they want, or a dictatorship?It just waste money for the Foreigners.
Federalism exhausts foreigners.
A strong central government should back the vision of its federal states and layout a path for them to achieve a vision.
If some old guys want to become the next dictator then it's 91 all over again.

Foreign policy and defense should belong to the FGS, everything else is debatable. I would add on airports, ports, and other national assets as well.
Stop calling your bullshit federalism when it's not!
Please secede and I hope the door hits you on the way outWhat is the vision for Somalia.
Have you ever noticed don't have a vision 2020, 2030, 2040 or 2050 from the central government.
These odays can't forget 91.

Stop calling your bullshit federalism when it's not! There is no country in the world that has this fantasy system that you're proposing.
