Relocate TFG parlaiment to PL

[NASSIR]

Mogadishu as the capital of Somalia is no more important than Hargeisa was prior to Independence and D-jibouti as it is. We made Mogadishu in post-Political Independence the seat of our Republic in a bid to unite our territory, commit to a nation-building process and size up our place in the community of nations. However, the capital is not what it used to be; its urbane demographics, its elite and educated have been displaced or killed by the endless contours of its conflict, thus leading to the brain drain and a continued cycle of voilence that has griped it in firm hands and devalued its image for decades.

A neutral and provisional capital can be selected probably after the current TFG's mandate, which will end less than two years, and a new constitutional conference for this purpose and further reconciliation. I believe the International community will accord the new government(as an ideal solution) both recognition and legitimacy just as it did to the former one. What contributes the TFG to become a contested power struggle between the various players in conflict is the recognition it has from the world despite its fragile position and limited public support. The capital can be moved temporarily to a peaceful area like Hargeisa, build on new institutions under a platform of compromise and equally power-sharing based on clan representation for the time being. Once the strategy works, the anti-government groups will simply be marginalized even if they shift their guns and underhanded tactics to where the capital is temporarily relocated. It happened in Baydhabo when the Islamists held it under siege, not to mention the first explosion that ripped one of the cars of the former President and his guard.

Xiin, do you still want the capital to be relocated to Garowe?

 

I hope there is no clausule on this in the secret, still not published, constitution of yours.

Reviving three years old topic and making it look like something relevant now to score a point against Xiin. Waar iska daaya desperate-nimada ee rag iska dhiga.
