Any Further Delay in Completing the Constitution will lead to Total Failure of Somalia Statebuilding

[Deeq A.]

The decade-long delay in the completion of the Provisional Federal Constitution (PFC) is major threat to statebuilding in Somalia. Although one of the reasons behind the delay has been attributed to the difficult process of establishing the Federal Member States (FMS), the decade-long delay attests the unwillingness of Somalis to unite as citizens (not as clan members) of the Federal Republic of Somalia (FRS) governed by the rule of law. Any further delay in completing the constitution will lead to total failure of Somalia statebuilding efforts.
