here, Does this apply to us?

yes, very sad, may be they don;t know him, very uneducated young kids run it

I take my personal, family, my clan feelings, or interests, to what Somali as whole, or Somali State needs, I ask myself, do I want a strong state, functioning, that brings honour to every Somali, that every Somalis can be proud of,? Or very weak fragile, and completely disconnected, segregated society, and that melts away the national pride, and does not promote regional , false identity. I look at Somali people, max between 15 to 20 million, that is population of Istanbul, Mumbai, London, Delhi, New York, Mexico City, and so on, the people in those cities are far more diverse than Somalis. All those major town are ruled by a mayor, And I have personally been to some of those cities, at my hotel, I woke up at night, maybe jetlag, look out window, everything going in orderly fashion, functioning, no issues. I asked myself, how is this city with population more than Somalia as whole, is going so smooth, with little or no crime, no issues, no fight over resources, how are services delivered, cleaning, hospitals, schools, policing, fire fighters, etc We must be genuine when discussing issues, academically without bias, Federalism and Centralism, No sane is advocating central type of government of Siyad Barre regime. Back then Somali resources were extremely limited, that government was autocratic, had very small resources, less resources that many of the federal states now, still provided free health care, free schooling et. How much was Somali state revenue, adjusted to inflation compare today? Mogadishu alone now makes more and yet nothing is being done or no public services delivered. So it is not true, that government at central was extremely wealthy and all the resources disappeared in Mogadishu I came to conclusion after long thought, If Somalis don’t change, and get rid off this federalism, that is advocating more regionalism, clan fiefdoms, division, sectarianism, then it is even better to break even into a smaller central country. Remember , Federal states are unitary states, (My argument in other thread that a bit shocking to you) Why, you said, Centralism, is more expensive, that is not true. Opposite is true, federalism way more expensive, and suitable for very wealthy countries like USA, Germany, Australia. It is also for people who are too different ethnic and or religious groups, like Nigeria, or India . How can very poor country like Somalia afford this form of government, and if People are one ethnic group? Whose idea, was it? If there is mistrust and bad feeling about the last dictator, we can have a model like Kenya. Just because the last Somali government, that was central, was horrible, you don’t jump to something will make Somalia weaker, fragmented, and harder to bring the nation back. I read and can share academic report, stating how costly Federalism is vs Centralism, why? More bureaucracy, duplication of services? red tape, every state duplication of services, like license, number plates, tax and so on. In Somalia, it is even more complex and on steroids? Military, monitory,laws, curriculum, nothing is centralised, and will continue that way. We have now parliament in every state, close to 1000 ministers, all needed their own expenses, cars, villas, security? Different laws, different taxation system, Overkill, and again we have it at federal level, we created this redundant upper house, that has no use, or function, other than empty the meagre resources we had. If we look at Africa, do you want to be like poor Federal Ethiopia, with endless wars, and regional power struggles, or Unitary state, Kenya , which will join developed nations in 10 years! There are many cases of young Somali kids, when told to bring their country flag, in diaspora, , take PL or Jubba or Somaliland etc, and bewildered teachers shaking their head? googling the names? In confusion, You have seen how segregating this notion of federalism is, it will keep us very weak, under developed, you witness and have attended parties to PL day, Jubbaland, SL Galmudug, bracelets of flags, different flags, some very unfamiliar, and multiplying, , and It is very odd now, if bring Somalia flag, or if you don’t bring your clan enclave flag, this balkanization and dividing is a death sentence to strong Somali state Have you asked yourself, why India economy, who was ahead or equal of China, at some point, is now way behind now? It is because of federalism and bureaucracy red tape, states fighting over resources Fight of water, rivers, multiple number plates, 25 different state tax. A good example of crazy this will be is a truck travelling from Sl to Mogadishu, how many state taxes do they have to pay? Why do very poor Somali Truck drivers, carry multiple number plates? And pay redundancy services? Taxes, and tariffs? different school curriculum, The madness is in-explainable, and I can not list them all here. So the best option is to get rid of this federalism, it will bring more misery and madness and if we want strong functioning, dignified country, we dump this, unless miracles happen, this nightmare will continue It is the educated class, give unbiased look what options better, and recommend to the Somali people, Not by the clannish, selfish, uneducated so called leaders, Can’t See the Forest For The Trees. If after long discussion, I am certain they will advocate and recommend dumping this federalism, but before going back, protections must be in place, that will guard over centralisation and expand the central powers. I advocate for strong Unitary State with devolution of some of the services and powers, but not federalism. Joining EAST Africa Community may be a blessing, as some of the laws, monetary, passports, tariffs will be centralised, maybe this will make Somalis unite under one ethnic group. SOMALI.

MMA, All the fingers pointing to the defene minister? and president's tribe

Biihi's adviser

Niiko is Bantu culture, and may stem from Somali Bantus.

why not unite the two movements?

Kids forced by Muuse to the frontline escaping King cigalle... (@kingcigalle122)’s videos with original sound - King cigalle... | TikTok VT.TIKTOK.COM King cigalle...'s short video with ♬ original sound

yes,massive migration from Duriyda was under way, and interrupted, they even signed oil deals without locals knowing,

Other than how Muuse handled SOOL, by trying to use brute force to subdue, which is technique they used in Hargaisa, and Borama, the biggest other mistake was messing with democratic process, it has to be untouchable, 5 years term, limited, not 1 minute extension Heego/Jeegan are known to be VERY greedy, they wanted to milk , very selfish at the expense of SL democratic system

wax badan baa isku dhex yaacsan, there is also one this popular youtube show FILO and one before

I agree, taalo in loo dhiso weeye, caadi maaheyn, he was international level, saw few of his shows live

You should not go, because SL which was built on injustice is about to collapse.You said,u were in Berbera, Just look around you, how many fat cats are from HA, work for DP world? how were they selected? were there fair selection process for hiring, forget Harti, S@maroon, within Isakh community? were they selected by merit, or their family connection? The problem in Somalis as while is the worse of humans, shameless characters, come on top, in every position, where intelligent , people who could make a different are powerless , at bottom How in the world, we have Biihi, Hassan, Deni Madoobe as leaders? Meel walba rag aan Rabbi, iyo rag aqoon baa dusha maray, wadanka iyo dadka unaxeeyn.

is that his son?

the should clean up before starting the campaign, there are a lot of shabaab insiders within the military and within the government

What a legend, Eebe ha U naxariisto

The Ugaas is very Honorable, and incorruptible,

OMG, Heego are merciless parasites. Anyways, you will face lots of challenges, include some who benefit current status Horgals etc, but at the end, Insha Allah will succeed. At one point , SSC looked hopeless, look at it now.

Guul iyo Gobonimo Good luck to Adal empire

It is 100% unpractical and will never work, anybody advocating for it does not understand it. It is better to cut into 5 small clan countries, independence from each other, than adopt something not working
