If they find the constitution not to their liking they can have their say then. All that is needed is a clear draft of the constitution and those opposing to state what articles they are opposing and how they would change it. It's time to attempt for a constructive way forward rather than this. Its the Somali way to disagree with something yet to be released for discussion I just hope for calm heads and those with Somalia at heart win the day.

xiinfaniin Posted May 1, 2012 A discussion about the new draft will be held. That is where the right amendments will be adopted if needed. Spoilers are those trying to derail or prevent from the gathering of constitutional assembly. It is sad it takes external forces to keep them in check so the process of ending the transition can come to fruition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElPunto Posted May 1, 2012 What was it that was said about Palestinians - they never miss an opportunitiy to miss an opporutunity. We never miss an opportunity to engage in pointless debate and hoo-haa. Actually the TFG would have been better served to use the 1960 constitution as the basis forward with the only change being the country is now federal and power is decentralized. Rather we get this waste of itme. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xiinfaniin Posted May 1, 2012 1960 is the basis of the draft constitution. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElPunto Posted May 1, 2012 ^Draft can be interpreted in many ways. I mean the new constitution should be exactly like 1960 with clauses removing centralization and adding decentralization. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xiinfaniin Posted May 1, 2012 ElPunto, Today's draft is not a radical departure of 1960 constitution. It complements and reflects current realities on the ground. In some clauses, it is a much improvements of 1960. Immigration is a case in point. 1960 constitution was very ambiguous with respect to who is Somali citizen. The problem is partly people who are commenting and taking their nonsense in the public airwaves have been honest so far.

This devolution of power will work better than this chaos we call federism now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are in say Bu'aale, would you want to be controlled by someone in Kismayo or in Bu'aale? This is the way forward for giving more powers to the local authorities without undermining the central government. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haatu Posted May 1, 2012 War xiinoow, although I don't agree with some parts of it, I already declared my support for it because danta guud baa ku jirtaa. Besides, waa la bedeli karaa; either in the upcoming conference or future governments. But what I don't support is certain administrations undermining dawladda dhexe iyo calan yaddan xun-xun oo faraha badan (including the Azania one too ).
