If Koonfuria ever makes such an absurd demands, Silaanyo would simply tell them to mind their own business. Stilk Hasan Sheick would score as champion of political rights.

Back to topic. Merger of Regions ha noo dameysee, iminka adeega shacabka iyo maanka xooga ha la saaro. Merger of Provinces can still be formed in two years time through a democratic process of the ballot box.

Clan politics is purely based on control for power rather then primary needs of people. Why else would dictatorship and anarchy last for so long.

Passerby, you used to be quite positive about Somaliland and Siilanyo. http://www.somaliaonline.com/community/showthread.php/28156-PRESIDENT-SILANYO-SCORES-BIG-IN-ADDIS-ABABA?highlight=PasserBy What happened? Maybe you are pissed off by this?

Article 48. The Structure of the State (1) In the Federal Republic of Somalia, the state is composed of two levels of government: (a) The Federal Government Level; (b) The Federal Member States Level, which is comprised of the Federal Member State government, and the local governments. (2) No single region can stand alone. Until such time as a region merges with another region(s) to form a new Federal Member State, a region shall be directly administered by the Federal Government for a maximum period of two years. Article 49. The Number and Boundaries of the Federal Member States and Districts (1) The number and boundaries of the Federal Member States shall be determined by the House of the People of the Federal Parliament. (2) The House of the People of the Federal Parliament, before determining the number and boundaries of the Federal Member States, shall nominate a national commission which shall study the issue, and submit a report of its findings with recommendations to the House of the People of the Federal Parliament. (3) The nomination of the commission referred to in Clause 2 shall be preceded by the enactment of a law by the House of the People of the Federal Parliament, which shall define: (a) The responsibilities and powers of the commission; 13PROVISIONAL CONSTITUTION (b) The parameters and conditions it shall use for the establishment of the Federal Member States; © The number of the commissioners, requirements of membership, nomination methods, office tenure, and their remuneration. (4) The number and the boundaries of the districts in a Federal Member State shall be determined by a law enacted by the parliament of the Federal Member State, which must be approved by the House of the People of the Federal Parliament. (5) Federal Member State boundaries shall be based on the boundaries of the administrative regions as they existed before 1991. (6) Based on a voluntary decision, two or more regions may merge to form a Federal Member State. The constitution doesnt stands in the way of forming Federal States based on the existing Provinvial regions. So there is no need to create clan states, new boundries, break-up of cities or regions. This will save Somalia the chaos, headache, outside interverence and confusion that forming Clan States will bring. What we have seen the past couple of months in Kismayo, for sure will be repeated in Baidoa, Beletweyn, Jowhar, Marka, Dhusamareeb, etc. The Federal Goverment needs to put an end to the forming of "new regions and States" by declaring that Somalia will be administred the coming 2 years based on the excisting Provincial regions. And after two years the country will organise a democratic referendum where each citizens can decide on the fate and future destiny of their Provinces (join State A, State B, etc). This will give Somalia some time to liberate the country from AL Shabaab, return of stability and security and rebuilding the country before heading in to the heated national debate of Clan&States.

9 sentenced to death? I hope they have clear evidence and full proof evidence that they murdered someone. Otherwise this is only creating more injustice.

Che, why dont you should tell that to the VOA News section.

You have announced nearly a month ago the succesfull outcome of this Conference, only to correct yourself a month later that a third of the delegation wasnt even there, National Goverment opposing declaring unconstitutional. Adeer tartiib usoco, arintan waad hor boodisaaye.

Despite Puntlands efforts to potray itself as another 'Somaliland', international media seem to be more and more aware of the regions anarchism (piracy, smuggling, terrorism). Of course this something we Somalis knew all along.

NGONGE;928632 wrote: ^^ Three presidents? (it could happen you know. Somalis are good at copying). How about three President each with his own region(Gedo, Lower and Middle Jubba).

Such a grand reception for just one independent Makhirian website. I wonder how much Xiinfaniin got for his lip service.

And it's hanging in the balance because it's waiting for the verdict of the Gedo folks who are yet to declare their hand. Hence its good to give us the bluster and the talking point of the pirates. But that still should not be allowed to hide the deep truth in here. And that truth is the jubbaland initiative is a "political hostage" to the whatever the ultimate desire of Gedo folks will be. And that in turn will depend on how the current PM Saacid sees his clannish interest being impacted on by which ever way his folks come down on this issue . Even if the Gedo folks give the green light for this maamul, they will for sure demand the highest position. Which in turn will not comforting for our Somali-kenyan friends who hope to create a region with 'lose' thighs to Xamar and strong connection to Nairobi.
