It clearly has no physical means to close, but it's legally within prerogative.

Amharas have been moaning about this.

It finally happened . He's looking to replace Qoorqoor according to the rumor mill.

Predictable move

It reminds me of HSM many useless portfolios given to his competitors from Mogadishu. It looks like Hamza started doing the same thing now that he's out of job.

I was speaking in general terms. What HSM did is a power grap and will lead to an term extension and years of bickering. Even if we don't get into the merits of the changes, the fact that he didn't engage any stakeholders discredited the whole process not to mention the abuse or complete disregard of parliamentary procedures.

I am surprised Cagjar didn't force people to come.

We can make arguments for some of the changes that are going to beneficial as such the PM issue. But I do believe elections should be ran by the states. Perhaps the federal government and political parties can observe the process. Political parties can certainly challenge the results in the court system.

Everyone agrees the constitution needed changes. Even Deni and Farmaajo would welcome it if they were in the driving seat. My worry is the concentration of power in one man.

Hamza is irrelevant now!

This will decide if federalism gets entrenched or if Somali , becomes a city state run by HSM and alike. Unlike before, there is more than one strong member state and a strong opposition in the making. HSM's stunt might work out for the best as it might force everyone to eventually sit down and complete the constitution.
