Isaaq have many enemies.Awdal is one of the few places in Somalia that can be self-sufficient, they're being held back by the cancerous SNM and I hope they escape.
With all due respect Dr you should better focus on your own sub clan issues as reer Awdal can makeup their own decision in their own land and it's thanks to them that the current SL exists today or have you forgotten how Dahir Riyaale Kahin beat your state 3 times in east of Sool kkk@Arkan There is no better time or opportunity to 'seize' and create Awdal state, do not squander the opportunity like Hawiye did in 91 in Mogadishu going into clan-warfare and not seizing the opportunity to govern. Right now SL is fully disarmed plus can't fight 3 fronts with Awdal, Garhajis state, Khatumo.
If SL doesn't respect the wishes of awdal, the UN will force them too or sanctions. Do not let the SNM execute clan secession on the grounds of win-lose and zero sum hatred. Look at their SNM manifesto Goals from 1991. They want to fight non isaaqs socio-economically so they can't purchase weapons and also disarm.
Federalism is for all to win-win and anyone who rejects it only wants Somali hatred and conflict to continue into a stalemate.
