Or may be it is a case of it being pregnant and giving birth in a few months. let us hope it is a worthy offspring.

It makes sense for some of the ministries, but not for others. for example, planning and finance each will need a deputy, so instead of creating 2 ministries, only 1 ministry was created, but with 2 deputies.

Am sure there is relevance, but I do not see it. what is it?

From what I read so far, XX is not a reliable source. He only regurgitates what is being posted elsewhere. But pokes aside, I am not quite able to see where the considerable disparity comes. Carafaat;897733 wrote: Maybe XX can explain where the Hargeysa votes went?

Thanks you for referencing the ONLY document which matters. And those are the operative terms Mr. Hassan and Co seem to be overstepping, but more troubling is that his interpretations of the federal constitution, and by extension grasp of the adopted system of government or any for that matter, is clearly thwarted by his preconceived, yet wrong, ideas of what kind of a government he desires: back to the military rule, which is evident from his rhetoric. Worse, he does not seem to have a good counsel either to advise him, or to interpret articles of the constitution, in complexity and legality, before making an *rse of himself out in the open. "...shall be negotiated and agreed upon by the Federal Government and the Federal Member States" He comes across as a military general who just ovethrew an abhorent despot with popularity akin to that of Obama in 2008. And to make matters worse, he usurped the powers of the Executive rendering the Prime Ministership and the Council of Minister (do they even exist?) a non-entity. And in his mind, as bespoke in this interview, to him the country (Somalia) is Juba regions, Bay & Bakool, Hiiraan and Ex-Banadir regions. Where is the other half of the country? Highly inexperienced and already squandering the goodwill afforded him just a few months ago. Still, extend him a chance to enjoy the trimmings of the glory which comes with being holed up in Villa Somalia under the protection of AMISOM.

You are all drinking from the same well, and are putting the horse before the cart. It is futile to talk about the specifics (who gets what % and where) until an understanding has been reached among all parties. Get the federal units first, reconcile differences, and then address the specifics. May I suggest you all read the history of the US during the 8 years of the Articles of Confederation, and before it deciced to adopt federalism. And while at it, read the Federalist papers by Hamilton and Co., on both sides of the argument. There are lessons in there for all, more so for the Somali wannabe leaders, and those who fancy themselves as political commentators.

It is unfortunate that what started as peaceful demonstrations against possible election irregularities turned into deadly violance causing bloodshed of the innocent. More disconcerting are the voter turnouts in 2012 vs. 2003, particularly Hargeya with Burco and Awdal having more voter turnouts than Hargeysa, which has twice, if not thrice more population than both, or the combination of both. What is the cause of Hargeysa voter turnout shrinking by 41% where Awdal's rose by more than 51%? Just an observation. 2012 - local election results: Hargeysa - 85,356 Togdheer - 129,397 Awdal - 129,397 2003 - local election results: Hargeysa - 208,864 Togdheer - 115,064 Awdal - 65,930

Very bold to heed the will and wish of the people. And now it shows the ********* of the opposition to interpret his change of mind as a weakness instead of .

The problem with this new crop of leaders is that they do not know much about the system of governance, and he little they know is from the dictatorial military rule of one-man show, and are therefore constantly airing their ignorance. The concept of democratic governance is wasted on them. I do not know why they are not able to seek counsel or read on the subject before making complete *rses of themselves.

Wow is all I can say. Gaalka dil gartiisana sii. Puntland has done very well. Impressive. Personally I do not care much for Puntland, but you have to admit they are sharp as hell. I mean how did they manage to do all that even the Somali government with all the help they constantly get from the international community could not have done one-third of that.

Aaliyah - please adiguna leave reer Puntland alone.

Somalia and Mooge - can you please leave reer Khaatumo alone.

This is very calculating. I always thought Dr. Galaydh had much bigger ambition than the speaker and had his eyes on the presidency. could i have been wrong?

And there goes another Dr. Ali looks like a man in a hurry proving by the minute Togane's assessment of his being a power-drunken charlatan than a scholar.

Hurreh, while his death was tragic and unforgivable, was not a Sultan. he was more of a politician with ambition than an elder. and his death was an accident. and if anything, it should be a lesson to others not to repeat tragedies like his, and not use it as an opening to do just that to other elders.
