Somalia what if in 4 years time no states have been established than what and the situation in the middle regions is still the same Where u have ASWJ allied to the government and Oday Qeybdiid controlling half of Mudug. What is the government than suppose to do. Do you think its the task of the government to create federal states for the regions, or is it the task of the subclans all over the country?

Then as Xiin said, the Somali people can vote on the constitution, if they are against federalism, they can reject it, but then we will say to each other, bye bye, it has been good and the Mudug border will be secured. :eek:

 

What difference does it make if it is a self-appointed federal state or an official appointed from Mogadishu being governor of the region, cause in the end he still governs the same clans?

[Xaaji Xunjuf]

It depends how these clan governments are about to be constructed on regional level whether the government in Mogadishu has a say in the regional federal structure of the state or the region it self must come forward and establish a state. We yet have to see how it goes, and if the federal constitution rejected by the people what do you mean mudug border will be secured mudug is still divided.

Ferderalism only emphasizes the differences between the constituent entities and instutiionalizes political division. I think employing a federalist model in Somalia, especially when it's going about state building in a post-conflict environment will only ensure future conflict and intra-polity fighting.
