I hope Khayre just admits to the UN. Puntland/Somaliland/Jubbaland are not really federal member states and operate like independent nations. Till we resolve our constitutional conflict, we would like to keep them separated from us and mogadishu till beletwayn. We have security issues to deal with. They have other priorities to deal with. It's unworkable the way it is now between regional govt and federal government with no contract to abide by nor a constitutional court to take on any cases and make verdicts. We don't even have a federal court dealing with national crimes.
We haven't even defined if someone committs a crime in the region, did he commit that crime against those people, if he did then it's a state matter to deal with. If he committed a crime against the nation, haul his ass to federal prison. They haven't defined how their judicial system will work even. There is no benefit in the relationship right now between the regions and mogadishu.
Tough decisions need to be made. Feds and Regions should agree that we will talk when both parts of the country are in the same condition and have the same priorities. One cannot walk down the street, one can walk down the street but has no hope in life. Two different priorities, we need to divide the states into northern, north-eastern, south central based on the situation there and deal with each region based on their priorities. There is no point lumping different regions with different priorities under one government with no official constitution, no constitutional court, no powersharing, resource sharing. Mogadishu should give up on this topic untill the south security problems are addressed and relinquish all matters to deal with galmudug-puntland-somaliland who have the similar level of social cohesion. Or we are just going in circles. The south needs to reach a stage they are similar to galmudug-pl-sl for the parties to talk on mutual interests now, they have the same environment, it's alot easy to agree now.
