"The political process was supposed to include a parallel process of fostering local and provincial government structures. That, says Mahiga, hasn't even begun, in part because President Mohamoud fears empowering rival clans to his north and south. There has been no movement towards drafting a permanent constitution which would enshrine a federal system. Meanwhile, negotiations with Puntland have been "very painful and scratchy." There is no dialogue at all with Somaliland. That sounds like a dangerous form of drift.
