Since the year 1960, Somalia has had numerous presidents and prime ministers predominantly of the Hawiye and Daarood clans. Dir gained prime minister once in these 60 years.
One thing I have always wondered is why Digil and Mirifle haven't been able to become president or prime minister in these years. What is the reason for this.
Numerically Digil and Mirifle aren't smaller in number then Hawiye and Daarood, it could be argued that they are numerically larger. Also they do not have less landmass and occupy some of the most fertile regions in Somalia once known to be the breadbasket of Somalia.
So this begs me to question why haven't they been able to become president even once from 1960 to now.
Can anyone answer this question for me?
