I agree on the echo chamber here, most posters are outright delusional.
Regarding Banaadir affairs, it is important not to fall for the rabbit hole that is qabiil sectarianism. We need to operate on a distinct Banaadir identity; the bigger our voter pool, the more leverage we have on the national level.
Every IDP should get a biometric ID, and everyone in those camps who is eligible to vote should be forced to do so. They are displaced IDPs today, but they will be tax-paying Banaadirians tomorrow.
Of course, I'm not naive enough to ask anyone to drop their community's or clan's interests. All I'm saying is that you can secure your well-being while working with all the stakeholders. There are many ways to align the interests of the various clans and communities in Banaadir. One example is to limit the number of political parties, forcing cooperation and inducing a political climate seeking harmony rather than undermining one another to stay at the top.
Another is adopting a multi-layered political structure. For example, incorporating a distinct alderman system that elects a 23-seated senate that enforces the laws passed by the elected legislative branch (voted in by anyone who has lived in Banaadir for a minimum of five years). The prerequisites to either run for an alderman position or vote for an alderman could be different. For example, we could say that you would have to own land property for a minimum of 10 years and be endorsed by a set number of non-voting aldermen appointed by a council representing the clans and old communities of the current 16 districts of Banaadir.
We need to find a system of harmony, and I have three almost perfect ones in mind. But that is for another day. The important thing is to see the IDPs as assets and find a clever way to harmonise their interests with those calling the city their home.
Why do you guys think
@Thegoodshepherd is working extra hours demonising an impoverished, starving IDP community on the other side of the country? He must be shitting his pants, thinking that Banaadir will have twice as many seats as all of Puntland.
