A very small group of Aaran Jaan which is even a smaller splinter group of the Garoowe clan want to force their way by way of anarchy. These are the people who got rich for the last 20 years.
Why would anyone would die and kill people to manage few towns or a province? there are probably few reasons.
The first one is the that quagmire in Mogadishu has resulted the rise of secessions, fake autonym and disregards of the national government. Everywhere around the world people form and establish the national order, charter and government first, then debate how to manage local regions. I live in a very rich province of Alberta, and a nice town, but all that was made possible by the country of Canada. IT is the national idea and the concept of Canada that made us different from America or Europe.
I don't ever vote for municipal or city elections. I pay my property taxes and expect them to clean the street, build roads and collect the garbage. My health care, passport, national well being or pensions doesn't depend to the city or even the province.
The second part is that these people got rich of the anarchy and the failure of the national government. More than 60% of the money looted from the foreign aid or from the the anarchy are based in Mogadishu. The remaining 40% is divided between Hargeisa, Garoowe, Nairobi, UAE and other places. Aaran Jaan is the main oligarchs in PUntland who either overthrow or crown the so called kings who serve them.
IT was the main reason Badbaado Qaran was organized to derail one man one vote in Somalia in 2022.
Wise people said long ago that these regional arrangements could function for temporarily until a national government takes the stage, otherwise these clan compromises for the power couldn't go for ever.
If C/laahi Dani was serious about democracy, he could have declared himself a referee for the next contest and disqualify himself for the greater good. He got some public support due to his open support of Laascaanood and counter weight for the destructive moves of HSM, that doesn't mean he gets a blank cheque. He should have created a common ground for some if the issues.
THere is no hope for Somalia until we get rid of HSM, C/laahi Dani, Muuse Biixi, Ahmed Madoobe and I. O Geelle. We need a new generation of leaders.
If so called politicians are willing to kill people to deny elections in regional government, what do you expect from those vying power at the federal government? In these part of the world they say the current leader is always worse than his predecessor. From Hargeisa to Garoowe, Mogadishu and Kismaayo, each one of them had killed more people than those who died under the national government of 20 years. THey arrested more people including women than the military government has done for 20 years, yet these former evil rebels talk about dictatorship and fake democracy.
