Deeq A. Posted May 11, 2022 In 2012, stakeholders in Somalia's political transition process agreed on a provisional constitution. That document lays out a political solution whose weakness is laid bare by the many challenges that the country had since faced. The key ingredient of this political solution is a federal structure that initially uses the now famous 4.5 power sharing. Although one would be tempted to poke holes in this political solution and the underlying government structure (and there are many holes a knowledgeable person can choose from), the purpose of this paper is not to critique the document itself. Rather, the purpose of this paper is to illuminate the challenges facing Somalis in taking this provisional document and converting it to a viable constitution that can form the basis for a Federal Somali Government.
