    ^you have said it all when you said, 'Puntland .....'. 

    Give credit where credit is due. They have been peacefully running their business for 30 years.  Now, the only region in the eastern Africa that is holding elections.  Delayed granted by nonetheless election is taking place.

    Mogadishu: A Clan Capital or a Nation Capital?

    191Shares


     

     

     

    By Hassan Zaylai
     

    A nation's capital holds primary importance, and is undoubtedly the most important institution, for a nation as it is the seat of power representing in unity people of many differences! It is sacred ground for all it represents within a sovereign state! Show me a national capital city desecrated, therefore, and I will show you a nation in peril!

     

    I posit with clear conviction, and evidence to back it up, that Somalia's festering political ills stem from its capital city, which has long been hijacked by the very clan for whom Mogadishu and its surrounding area is ancestral ground!

     

    I will speak bluntly and in the old Somali clan-constitution vernacular laden with generalities; granted, that there are exceptions abound to any rule! That said, ever since the dictator Mohammed Siad Barre fled the capital city of Somalia, Mogadishu, the rule there has been ( and continues to this day) chaos, which has completely pulverized Somalia as a functioning sovereign state! If at the onset of Somalia's decline, of which Mogadishu was and still is the epicenter, was one initiated with looting, indiscriminate killings of civilians, raping of grandmothers, occupying public and private property ( to this day), lawlessness, and inter-clan war, today it is the same chaos by other means!

     

    This past April, clan Mogadishu Clan has, once again, held its annual "greater Mogadishu Clan clan conference" in (guess where?) Mogadishu! At the front row sat former Somalia national presidents, prime ministers, current and former MPs, and ministers of the same clan!

     

    As far as I know, no other Somali clan big or small has ever held all clan conferences of any clan in the history of Somali people! Yet, my issue with this conference is where it is being held again and again! This is yet another desecration of sacred national ground, which a nation's capital should be! This is giving the middle finger to the rest of Somalis.

     

    This clan conference, it gets worse, has not confined itself in deliberating clan domestic issues. It imposed itself on national issues, which are for all Somali clans to decide! Clearly, Somalia is still under the 4.5 clans power-sharing formula, but that is through the representation of clan-selected MPs and others to voice local or national issues on behalf of their respective clans, regions, and for the whole country!

     

    After the Puntland regional assembly voted against the term extension of the federal government, the 2 Mogadishu Clan clan regional governments of Gulmusdug and Hisrshabeelle sat on the sidelines by not following suit Puntland! As a way of amplifying a gathering domestic and international rejection of the "term extension," Mogadishu Clan political aspirants to hold Villa Somalia again or anew shamelessly used, in an unprecedented way, their clan as leverage to further their careers! 

     

    As usual, the Mogadishu Clan clan unfortunately is never satisfied with making mere statements! They had to show clan-based physical force and, especially, in their clan area, which sadly a nation's capital happens! The Mogadishu Clan presidential hopefuls and MPs had to make the call to their fellow clan former warlord Indhacade and active duty XDS and other armed forces officers and rank who, on a moment's notice, abandoned their stations to run to the capital on behalf of their clan politicians!

     

    Make no mistake about it, that was ********ism 101! Those active-duty officers and rank had committed treason against the state in favor of their clan by violating their oaths to not be loyal to the clan! They have no business in being part of the nation's defense forces!

     

    For Somalis, it is easy to look tough and badass in their respective clan-infested areas! How hard could it be for any clan, whether in Baydhabo, Djibouti, Garowe, Jigjiga, Mogadishu or Kismayu, to flex muscle and threaten anyone or thing without the clan involved in its ancestral locality!

     

    Somali clan code of honor is what usually makes Somali clans not cross boundaries! No other clan has done with their ancestral clan metropolises, in which many Somalis of different clans live, as the Mogadishu Clan has in Mogadishu! In this last April, marauding Mogadishu Clan gangs of AWAL XDS and warlord militias went door to door telling people to flee or be killed to simulate a large number of civilian flights to induce a politically desired outcome!

     

    An intellectual, Mayu Angelu, once said: "when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time."African-American stateswoman, an educator, a poet, and a highly respected

     

    Mogadishu Clan's early on incapability to govern one city, Mogadishu, right after Siad Barre was ejected from power--not to mention the utter disaster that ensued there and for decades afterward, which makes the standing up Somalia state difficult still-- should have been all the incontrovertible proof for the rest of Somalis that their most important symbol of unity, the seat of their "Qarran," does not belong there!

     

    Keep Mogadishu as your capital city, keep Somalia in perpetual turmoil, therefore!

    Time to fcking seriously consider.  Time for a neutral Somali capital is now.

    This was probably for foreign audience. As the saying goes, I think the horse bolted. Stuff that needed doing when he had the political capital wasn't done.  It's a mess now.  I think mr. Mohamed should facilitate peaceful transfer of power and walk away to save lives or at least not be blamed.  

    Fck this country.  It's far too gone for saving.  Let it balkanised, every village runs itself.  End of story.

    What is it? 137 rockets in 5 minutes? 

    Rag rag dhalay.  Overwhelming the air defense capabilities. 

    The best equipped country, militarily.  Funded by the richest country yet Hamas is still there.

    Now that the Useless Expired Cheese is reaping the political foolishness, divisiveness and discord he’s been sowing for the last four years—-all of sudden— we, Somalia, are all going to hell in a hand basket, huh?😁

    Please take your alarmist claptrap elsewhere. As for most Somalis,  we are content to remain and watch the fun of seeing the Useless Cheesy hapless creature get his just deserts.👍

    Play the game not the man. Marauding gangs with RPG's demand of the state to shut shop and you're ok with that because you hate the man in charge?  

    The man came and will eventually leave, but let's see.

    This quote is by Churchill. 

    'I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly-wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place."

     

    Is it possible that the plans are in place to take the ownership and running of this piece of prime land off the hands of Somalis?

    Since most of us can't see beyond our tribal affiliations, our home will be run for us without our say so. I would have said, 'war Soomaalay kaca ' but that feeling is not there in most people's hearts and minds. 

    I know I sound pessimistic but I am sorry after 30 years of going round the same circle, there comes a time.

    ..of the end of Somali dowladnimo? The nail in the coffin.  Dead and buried.  

    The fact is no one seems to address the elephant in the room, which is the strength and stranglehold of tribalism in Somali politics.  How can a government raise its head above water when few ragtag militants demand and force change of policy?  

    Mark my words, this is only the beginning and it will continue.  What stops these militants and their cousins to pick up arms next time a government puts forward a policy they don't like?  Nothing.  It will happen again and again. 

    Time for balkanisation of Somalia.

    This is the moment the armed forces of the Somali nation will be made or broken. 

    If they stand up for flag and country, they will bring this 'fitna' once and for all, and make sure that the instigators are brought to their knees.  

    If this is allowed to fester, it will never end.
