Some people are saying Somalia will hold 1p1v elections in 2026. I say, dream on!!

1p1v elections require a government/administration that has monopoly on power and violence. 

In the case of South Somalia, including Puntland, that is not the case and in 5 or 10 or even 30 years from today, it won't be the case.

You wish Puntland / or Somalia to burn - yet prison uprising, to locking up Journalists to administration & city officials fighting over donations sent over to the Market fire. Keep throwing stones...

This is a news item. 

Prison upraising? you surely tuned to a different reality show. Keep watching. 

It is an election year in Somaliland. Everything is on the table. You will hear a lot of things. But as soon as the elections is done, things will go back to the normal rhythm.

There was no such thing as militia capturing  jeelkaweyn eeh Hargeisawí there was a prison uprise. And the guards fired some guns that’s it

Xaaji, that is not true. That is the angle where these journos were reporting but it is far from the actual event.

It started as brawl between two inmates and few moments later a number of other inmates tried to join some trying to defuse and others trying to escalate. 

The prison security fearing it could become a bigger issue used their guns to try to disperse the crowd.

That is hardy a definition of "upraising".
