Check minute 10.20

 

It seems people have been saying the same thing when federalism was first mentioned in the 60s,

[Che -Guevara]

In a lot ways, nothing has changed. Check 20.30.

The guy at the 10 minute looks like a Somali Cornel West

I sort of agree with them. Power should be devolved regionally, even further than the current framework of 'states'. Case in example S/land. The reer Awdalites are unhappy, Duriyadda itself is not on the best of terms & SSC is still grumbling. By doing away with these phony states and devolving their powers to the regions then most of the destructive competition and disagreements we see today would disappear.

[Che -Guevara]

I guess states are good start though not the best option.

the hell with federalism.

You want Somaliland to become another North Eastern. Where Somalis clan are competing and battling eachother without having a political platform that brings them together and serves their interest against Nairobi. Divide and rule iga dheh.

 

Typical Kikuyu buttler!

The Somalis are competing and battling each other because that is their nature and their way, same as your clan the SNM and the Awdalites are competing against each other today and just as the tribes of the of the Jubba are also competing. The political platform that shall bring all these groups together is Xamar; they handle their regional affairs and Xamar handles the country as a whole.

 

As for Reer NE, don't concern yourself with them. They are a people that are finally working to improve their region despite the obstacles set against them by Nairobi. They have at last achieved some semblance of autonomy and the only way now is up. Idinka reer Soomaaliya yaanan la idin dhaafin.

[Carafaat]

Haatu, wouldnt you want unity and one goverment for the Somalis Province in Kenya?

[Haatu]

Ideally yes but that would be suicide realistically speaking. By going our separate ways and each group deciding our own affairs, we only stand to get closer over time. It's land, resources and power that's dividing us at the moment, by giving each group just that, there'll be no more reason to hate each other.

[xiinfaniin]

Federalism is the future. To live in Somalia, one needs to accept that reality.
