Mogadishu is a disputed city between the hawiye subclans specially HG and Abgaal whereas there is neither winner nor loser and they don't have Jeegaan alliances with the other hawiye clans that can tip the balance for one side like the case of Somaliland in the end there were winners in the mid-90s even the capital of Puntland, Garowe, which is in the middle is the result of the Bari-Mudug conflict. The Bari region represents the Sultanate whereas the Mudug region represents the Generals, the failed coup followed by the rebellion in the 70s so they moved the center from Bosaaso to Garowe so they have this sort of Checks and Balances that not allows any of them to have absolute control with the emergence of a third party.
The people of Mogadishu do not care about their lives because they do not face real competition from other tribes such us Daarood but if you move the capital to Galkacyo for example, they would unite behind HG and the Daaroods behind MJ. The Dir/Isaaqs are not that far away and have a minority in Mudug and Galgaduud.
The proximity of the capital to Ethiopia is a privilege and not the other way around it is easier for them to invade Mogadishu where there is no Govt as happened before in 2007
It is close to the coast and can have two ports in there
These areas are safer for their proximity to the Ethiopian border.
Finally, The tribal factor: The clans south of the Hiiraan region are very passive and do not have high motivation to govern themselves and free themselves from the terrorists even after their liberation they leave with them so they do not deserve to have the capital and the rest of Somaliweyn are a hostage for them.
Tribes whose their political role will end.
the unukaleh Abgaal
the 4.5 tribes like Mx, Murusade and every one who have no regional importance and actual power
for Hawadle they will be second to HG in Hawiye power-sharing wich they are actually but imagin the importance Hiiraan will represent for a Govt based in GLK? even if its led by Daarood it can be big ally besides the war against the terrorists. Economically hiiraan will be the capitals closest vegetable and cereal market it will replace shabeelooyinka.
