You have a valid point however 4.5 should be temporary untill we cam get towards district wide elections. However regional autonomy and Federalisam are a must.

^^^ Al Shabaab's days are numbered but so is the Ala Shiekh Hotel group.

Just this week we have seen fighting in Gedo, Hiiraan outside it capital Beledweyne. We have seen Cadaado & Dhusamareb I'm Galgaduus change hands several times and around 30 civilians killed in Mogadishu alone. Yet there is hope for Sharif Ahmed and Ala Shiekh?

It seems there are those who are yearning for confrontation and dispute. I find it quite ammusing that's all.

Let's wait to see Mr Farmaajo's cabinet and return to this topic then.

Originally posted by Libaax-Sankataabte: My genuine advice to President Faroole would be to tirelessly promote the idea of federalism as being the quintessential model for communal rebuilding and governance in post civil war era. It is the more promising alternative for the nation as the current unitary system has utterly failed in bringing multi-clan Somalia together in a meaningful manner. Libax hit the nail on the head. At this moment, at this time in our history there can not be an all powerful centralised government. Puntland does not need Sharif or the Ala Shiekh group, it outlasted more powerful groups.

Somalia: Puntland forces seize fighters, trucks in surprise raid on militant hideout 18 Oct 18, 2010 - 11:28:46 AM The security forces of Somalia's Puntland State government initiated operation of searching Somali hard-line, Al-Shabaab in the Galgala hills, in northern Somalia, Radio Garowe reports. The operation were joined by armed forces, reportedly tightened security in Dhagahdhere, Karin Haragode, Dindigle and Dareeye, where the Al Shabaab-allied militia led by Mohamed Said Atom have been hiding in recent months in the face of a Puntland military offensive. According to one of government forces who spoke with Garowe Online, four prisoners and two trucks were seized by Puntland security forces. Local reports indicated that Puntland troops are infiltrating deeper into the forrested and hilly area where Atom's Al Shabaab fighters are hiding. On the other hand, Puntland government forces poured into the streets in the port city of Bossaso as a show of force while military operations continued in Galgala, a hilly area roughly 60 southwest of Bossaso. Atom is a notorious warlord and arms dealer based in the Sanaag mountains straddling Puntland and Somaliland. Puntland and the breakaway region of Somaliland have been relatively stable compared with the central and southern Somalia in recent years. Puntland's government accuses Atom of being responsible for a string of bombings and assassinations of Puntland government officials. Last week, Puntland Information Minister Abdihakim Ahmed Guled escaped a roadside bombing blamed on the Galgala militants. GAROWE ONLINE

Mr Farmaajo's bold declerations today were most welcome however one needs to know.. Will any of these names return; the failures like Ibbi, Abdulkadir Ali Omar Yarisow Tarzan, Ghandi Xiddig, Dhahir Gheele, Jingeli etc. This will determine if Mr Farmaajo is a new thinker or just the same nonsense. Its easy to attack the 4.5 formula, but can he get rid of these individuals who were part of the failed government of Sharmarke?

^^^Niinac, we are trying to help our kinsmen here, Tarzan & Yarisow can not do a thing for themselves let alone the new PM. Jacpher, he is making a meal of it with these declerations to the old ladies.

There is no way that one can go around the 4.5 formula without changing the whole thing.

^^^Thats the problem, the new PM sems to be making the nice statement. Now lets say he names a cabinet of the 10 most competent Ministers that he believes can do the job, and 6 out of the seven happen to be from his clan. What would our Dalabay, Niinac and Co say?

I think Siilanyu's nephew and the secessionist Jihadi are just here to entertain us..

The new PM is flanked by Tarzan & Yarisow and thats just ammusing. Yeah and I know both of those men very welll....Nothing new here..

^^^No one doubts that AMISOM are here to protect the TFG, but the international community keeps calling for the end to the transition, and Sharif's performance has not impressed anyone, aside from his die hard supporters. Whats important to the powers behind AMISOM, thus far is an end to the "Transition", the passage of the new charter and the policy of supporting the North States. Ala Shiekh group opposes every single one of these policies.

^^^AMISOM is here to stay, Ala Shiekh group is not, they will be together for the transition but not after that.

MM: They dont control much, but thats not the point, the PM, came through this same formula and has not changed it through legislation, thus how does he actually carry it out? Or was he just sounding nice to the women he was meeting? Interesting stuff, and we shall see how things turn out.

The warlords will gain ground, but the TFG Al Shiekh Hotel wont do anything it is expected to implode soon enough. That leaves the international troops that will be increased in the south over time. Just like in 2006 it was the end of the clan warlords in the south, soon it will be the end of armed fake religious groups in the south. What will come is the difficult thing to predict. Its another quagmire.

^^^Adeer you were taking a great deal of pride in the fact a retire man was frail this morning for clan reasons. What can we expect when your clan loses a post? No doubt a great deal of pain and some tears.

like I said, all that pent-up cuqdad that your family customaraly has had for Cabdullahi Yuusuf's family was a very unhealthy lifestyle. And to prove my point, I'm willing to bet a 100 bucks that you too, Thiery, will, just like they, die at an early age because cuqdaddaan baas aad qabtiin ayaa idin dili doonta, and all the health facilities in the world will not help you. Spot on, for some grown people to feel so powerless that they take joy in the old age and sickness of mortal men. Forgetting their own mortality..

I am just waiting for when he announces his cabinet and people like you will be the first to cry out when your clan is omited.

Gallad, Wllahi you have issues adeer, like making sure the poor people of Gedo are not killed just for Barre hiiraale's attention seeking scheme. Its 2010 and we have clown Hiiraale and his cheerleader Horn, claiming victory for taking over Beled-Hawo, a village of no more than a few hundred souls...
