metta Posted February 11, 2013 Somalis from outside Mogadishu need to understand there are severe consequences to not accepting President Hassan Sheikh Mohamuud as their leader. There are consequences in trying to avoid coming under his leadership. There are consequences in trying to make your own states and at the same time having no communication with Xamar. How is the President and his government supposed to distribute aid money and federal money when there are states who wish to ignore him and deny his leadership? How is the government supposed to build schools in the future outside of Xamar? How is the government supposed to build hospitals in the future? How is the government supposed to build roads and infrastructure? Somalia will become a city-state (Mogadishu) if this attitude continues. What is ironic is that since all the jobs and all the opportunity will be in Xamar since all the regions rejected the President and his government, everyone will be flocking to Xamar. The same centralization and attention of Xamar that Somalis were seeking to avoid will end up coming to fruition. And this will occur. Foreign governments now are seeking to speak with only the Somalia government and not the local administrations anymore. Whatever help and assistance will go to the federal government from now on. Denying and ignoring the Somalia government will bite you in the a$$ in the near future. And only those who wished to be left alone will be to blame Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tallaabo Posted February 11, 2013 Ask them dee. All I can say is they are loaded. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metta Posted February 11, 2013 Yes Faroole is loaded. Of course. He takes a personal cut from the pirates. He is a multi-millionaire. No brainer. But the pirate money isn't going to the government coffers. It's his money. Puntland as an administration has no money, just like all administrations in Somalia. Otherwise, the diaspora wouldn't of have been paving the roads and building schools and hospitals in cities across Somalia. There are no public funds.

Che -Guevara Posted February 11, 2013 The Government doesn't have money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metta Posted February 11, 2013 True but the Government will soon have money. The international community is only engaging with the federal government now and not the local administrations anymore. This is what Clinton has said and this will continue to be the policy of the US government even though she is now long gone. The Turks have been dealing with the federal government 99% of the time. If the states don't cooperate with Xamar, how can Xamar tell the Turks and the other nations that want to do projects to go to this state and build a school here rather than building one in the capital? If Xamar has no control, Xamar has no choice but to only allow the development to occur in Xamar. Telling Mog City to skedaddle has consequences.

Che -Guevara Posted February 11, 2013 Xamar ignoring periphery has consequence too. N you are putting too much stock on foriegners. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metta Posted February 11, 2013 Xamar is not ignoring the other regions. They have been opening their arms only to be told to get lost. As for the foreigners, we are a war-torn country where virtually everyone lives in poverty. It is no surprise we will be relying on foreigners for quite a while.

DoctorKenney Posted February 12, 2013 I'm thinking it's best for Somalia--for the time being at least--to adopt a laissez-faire style of governance. The government should only be involvd in terms of National Security and law enforcement. We Somalis are an entrepreneurial people. We don't need a centralized bureaucratic government like the ones you see in Europe. We don't "need" the government to take care of us, outside of providing national security. Governments generally get their revenue from "taxing" the rest of the population, and then use those funds on various government programs. This encourages waste and corruption, and we can best serve ourselves by cutting the middle-man out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess its also in the interest of reer Mogadishu to have the President rule and accepted in only the capital. More money and attention :cool: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
