Carafaat Posted February 7, 2012 Last couple of days there has been a hugh discussion here on SOL, in the diaspora and in the country where the inter-govermental Somali wide institutions should be based. To prevent the previous mistakes of centralization, one needs to have a policy in line with the decentralization policy and regional allocation. There are many countries who have multiple capitals, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_with_multiple_capitals Here is my probosal. -Moqdisho - Official capital - Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Embassies, -Hargeysa - Legislative/Judical Capital - Somali wide Parliament,Guurti, High Court Other -Garowe Financial Capital - Central Bank, etc. -Burco Livestock trading capital -Livestock centre, ministry of livestock, etc -Baidoa Farming Capital -Farming institutions, INGO, etc. Min of Agriculture -Fish Capital.......... -Cultural Capital.............. -Education Capital.............. -Tourism cities..................... -Television City -Border Cities Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoonLight1 Posted February 7, 2012 This kind of distribution is suitable for a country with good infrastructure. Official capital and commercial capital is enough for Somalia. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carafaat Posted February 7, 2012 Tanzania was till recently not that far ahead from us. And they have applied this kind of policy with succesfull distribution and allocation of resources throughout the capital. We dont want another Muqdisho 1991 or what happened in Nairobi 2008. Therefor I say, bahasha ha la kala qeybiyo, wax dambe oo la isku qabsaniyo ayaa markaa iska yaraanisaa. good for stability. In Tanzania -Dodoma - Official Capital -Dar es Salaam - De facto seat of government (Embassies) -Arusha -Tourism/Safari capital, international court for Rwanda -Moji/Mwanza -Agricultural cities -Tanga -Port, fisheries, -Bagamoyo - Beach tourism etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having ministries all over Somalia is not distribution of power and revenue. Concentrate on development and creating economic centers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its just an example and besides. I dont think we will have that many big central Ministries, it will be more coordination offices with limited size, power. Did you know that most SL Ministries have offices in all of its 6 regions, add Puntland having own offices, future Baidoa, Kismayo having their own offices. what is left for the center, is only a small number of coordination staff.
