Its true but other corrupt politicians from other clans will use this negatively and create friction, mistrust and suspicion and bring the whole house down, instead of doing it constructively and lift everybody up. Its like lowering test scores in America to accept certain groups, gender etc to schools or organizations. Instead should have been specialization where the strength is. The Russians, French, British, Dutch, Spanish, Portueguese...were all empires, but there are areas where each had strength and weaknesses, be it cultural, religion, social, education etc based.

This is very dangerous politics. In Ethiopia: The Amhara never mention government, but only military and intelligence to show Tigray domination The Amhara and Oromo never go colonel and below in the Military, because they know its balanced to that level The Oromo only focus on the 70% Amhara in government and want short cut by making Oromo language Federal instead of teaching their children Amharic and balance that way Its very easy to create hate, suspicion in third world. In all of American history only one Catholic president has ever been elected and he even did not finish one term In both US and Canada its British and Germans and British and French that dominate everything Some things are historical reasons and not easily fixable, example: If fighters of a clan were 90% well this will continue for a generation, before it can be reasobnably balanced.

What does this actually translate to? It is not like the life your average person from beesha is economically better than anyone else. Everybody is dirty and poor unless you have someone abroad or connected to the business cartel. It's 'democracy' on empty stomach. Positions of authority only benefit the guys who are occupying them. All that the clan is left is a hallow pride.

It is not good to have a large population with little influence. The Somalis should do everything to avoid becoming like the Oromo who for centuries have been numerous but weak, poor, and ill-educated. It is better to have a smaller but more prosperous, educated and influential population than a large hungry and helpless one. The Ashkenazi Jews are a good example of quality not quantity.

galbeedi, The conflict in Mogadishu is this: One side wants to delay the constitution file for ever until end of time One other side wants to throw away what is in the existing and start fresh and make a breakfast of it, pocket the money and do new short constitution to their advantage only. Everything else is shenanigan and as shenanigan it has different colours and names every day. You might be destroying the whole project instead of presssuring Jawari to get on with the job saying here is the money do it in 12 months the procedure it was written otherwise you will be jailed. PM will scribble a constitution in a Hotel napkin and that will start another war and friction between regions or region/s and Mogadishu which is region on to itself. If your criterion was Tiray, the most challenging Somali to Tigray is Somaliland, the highest defender of Somali dignity, Somali people's respect outside of Ethiopia. They have never disrespected the Somali just to get some economic, political or social browny points with any Ethiopian authorities. I know this. Unless Somaliland is asked of war like situation, Somalialnd will never speak about Puntland with Ethiopia. Somaliland would speak with Puntland through other chanels or Djibouti, but not Ethiopia. Only if there is war situation or something that can lead to war do Ethiopians get spoken since they have same risk as well.
