Abtigiis, Good suggestions.this would solve the regional Jubba issue. But does not adress the 'federal' issue that is underneath this political conflict on the table. How would you suggest Faroole, Madoobe and Culusoow deal with eachother? Who is in charge of Somalia, the States or the central goverment?

Indeed. Will be a difficult job. Good luck to the committee. P.S. I hope they try to maintain the divers character of Somali region. And focus on forming inclusive, effective and robuust Admins that can set-up service delivery.

Alpha, mogadishu ma ku kacsatay. I told you before to visit Mogadisho inaar. You will see Art is much appreciated there.

Good move. No more South African merceneries.

Mogadishu is the undivided capital of the Somali people. Its the home and birth place of millions of Somalis, from all kind of diffeent clans and walks of life. Among them yours truly. Nonetheless it is un acceptable and a farce that the capital of the nation is politicly dominated by one single clan. Even Hargeysa, the second capital, has a Governor from Sool region.

Homunculus;961509 wrote: Thank you, it's great to know stuff like this, but I still keep hearing that most development money is concentrated in Mogadishu, do you think that is wise? Good question. There has been hardly any invest or development in Mogadishu in the last 23 years. It was even to unsafe for NGO/UN to visit, till the last year or so. Where Somaliland and Puntland where peaceful enough for NGOs and the respective governments to work on development projects in the last decade or so. So I think its fair the government focuses for now on Mogadishu and gradually on the rest of Somalia. P.S. Of the 90 districts of Somalia, 16 are in Mogadishu where Puntland has only 11 or 12 districts. So you cant compare Banadir region with any other Province or City of Somalia. Waa Muyaradiii Dalka.

They know themselves the Amisom guarded government cannot sign anything off, that is under SL. Still Somaliland contacts with the Brits goes through he addis ababa Embassy channel, So they can so much ambassadors to Mogadishu it doesn't change the situation. By the way this Nicholas chap guy is not a bad fella, he helped with the division of the sudan when he was the British ambassador to sudan . And you forget to mention that he did something with Congo and the resource rich Eastern Congo where neighboring countries like Rwanda are military involved.

Halane Base, Villa Somalia, Aden Abdulle Airport, Jaziira Beach, its all part of Mogadishu. Atleast they are paying a tribute to Somalia and visiting the capital. Better then meetings in Nairobi.

State of Jubaland President, Sheikh Ahmed Madobe, has said Kenya is not behind the establishment of his newly breakaway state. Madobe, who was recently elected President of the semi-autonomous region, defended the Government of Kenya and the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) from claims of backing his administration. I n an interview with The Standard, the Jubaland leader said the establishment of a federal state in the South of Somalia was in line with Igad’s four-year marshal plan of restoring stability in Somalia. He said the creation of a strong administration based on federalism was mooted in Addis Ababa four years ago during an Igad meeting that was attended by the then Transitional Federal Government (TFG) of Somalia and presidents from the region. Someone should provide Madobe with the recent IGAD positions.

Nuune, I will cut down on the smillies if it bothers you. Regarding President Hiiraale. I didnt You support him, I thought Baasto was to your liking. For I really dont care who is/will become President of Jubbaland. As long as the process is inclusive and transparent. And in order to prevent diffrent competing clan maamuls and diffrent Presidents in same region, it is a must that this process is facilitated by an arbiter( the central goverment in this case).

A 750*km highway connects major cities in the northern part of the country, such as Bosaso, Galkayo and Garowe, with towns in the south.[2] In 2012, the Puntland Highway Authority completed rehabilitation work on the central artery linking Garowe with Galkayo.[3] The transportation body also began an upgrade and repair project in June 2012 on the large thoroughfare between Bosaso and Garowe.[4] Additionally, renovations were initiated in October 2012 on the central artery linking Bosaso with Qardho.[3] Plans are also in the works to construct new roads connecting littoral towns in the region to the main highway.[4] The part between Galkacyo and Garowe has been recently rehabilitated. No need to tribalise everything.

Looks beautifull. More pics pls.

Those who opposed Jubbaland will be disappointed. The Conference aint about Hassan, Ahmed iyo Faarax. You take it to personal. Its about the Central Goverment taking her responsibility to facilitate the construction of Regional admins, as the constitution dictates and has been underlined by IGAD in her recent Mission Report. In other words, no clan states in Somalia. Only real admins facilitated by the Central goverment.

After 22 years of chaos who would have thought that foreign delegations would visit Mogadishu again.

He is merely an online character in foreign lands. Its the locals that need to be convinced. And so far you have three Presidents in Kismayo and non of them has set a foot outside the few square kilometers the Kenyans control. I really think you are fighting the wrong enemy. you should focus on fighting AL Shabaab, convincing the locals, reaching out, and reach a consensus with the other "Presidents" and expand the authority outside the Kenyan held territories.

There are three diffrent Presidents in Kismayo and there is no concensus among them(even fighting last week). Atleast the 3 Presidents of Khatumo have a concensus. check mate.

Somalia, Even Khatumo controls more land and districts then 'Jubbaland' and even exist two years longer but I don't see pirates campaigning for Khatumo. Second, the focus should be on trying to get more legitimacy by control and power on the ground(like Khatumo does). Not trying to get your legitimacy through the backdoor by lobbying Kikuyus in Nairobi for recognition or coinciding with the pirates agenda. For sure it will lead to futility.
