There is no powerful af maay speaking neighbour. I would agree if 2nd language was oromo or amharic or even swahali. But af maay is not a threat to anyone.
Not now, but think decades/a century down the line.
Somalia's population will be in the 50 million range soon. It could cause linguistic based secessionism if the Maay region becomes powerful enough and is unsatisfied for whatever reason.
Catalan vs Spanish are also two closely related languages, yet there is secessionism there.
