    No. what is a nation state? And how do you identify people with the political system?

    You can criticise Puntland till cows come home, and if your criticism is legitimate, then it is for the better, but if it is flawed, your argument must be questioned.

    Could you read it again please?

    There is the ideal (nation state), and then there is the ka badin waa (ethno-states). I am asking the questions because you come across as if fantasising about the concept of a nation state (desired) nas its citizenry (its make-up), to which you are attaching less value than the fantasy. You do not seem to mind condemning the citizen yet you are advocating for the nation. why? is your understanding of a nation state flawed? or are you so romantic at heart you fail to see the flaw in the logic.

     

    And 'ka badin waa' is when you do not or cannot have the optimum, in other words the reality on the ground. did that make sense?

     

    And please try a little bit of humility in your conversation unless of course you feel better conversing of and about minor quibbles. and if so, let us leave it there and not waste our time. be and let be.

    Reconciliation get rid of clan states let people get to know each other better and see the better side of each other. And last but not least a new war now needs to be fought this time not against a dictator or another clan or a neighboring country.But against poverty if you put that in practice than i am sure 65% of the trust will be re-gained Inshallah.

    Good starting point.

    what is a clan state? and why are there clan states in somalia today?

    This was actually the question to you. I did not speak of solutions.

     

    what is your definition of a nation state? and this is not 'xujo', and it is more of creating agreed parameters for the conversation. and if you want we can some other time talk about theoretical solutions.

    Illyria, even when facing complex problems one need to come with counter arguments or atleast some idea's. Somalia's problems are complex but silence does equal solution.

    Carafaat - i think you meant to say silence does NOT equal solution, no? if so, let us go back to basics. what is your definition of a nation state? and htis is not 'xujo', and it is more of creating agreed parameters for the conversation.
