@towerheist @shum33 quick history lesson.
At the height of the Civil War when USC reached the border, General Aideed AUN spoke to reer Kismayo and said "maamul dhista, wixii caawinaad ah waad naga helaysaa" the video was produced by Keydmedia. HG had the manpower and Xawaadle controlled the logistics (port and airport). They said we want you to make an administration for us. We told them war Aabihiin wasse we are still fighting Afwayne who is in Gedo, dowlad ma jirto. Even Cumar Jees was not privy to this, he was in Afgooye like a lost puppy waiting to be included in the next government. They deliberated for too long and eventually the whole plan became futile as Jees was then chased to the deep South by Cali Mahdi militia, Raxanweyn sided with Morgan and we had to co-opt the OG for damage control, atleast a broken Darod was better than a united Darod. That became the status quo until 1998 when we switched to JVA and in 2006 we almost achieved HAG total hegemony before Ethiopia ruined it.
Fast forward to 2013 when Hassan Sh became President and the maamul goboleedyo became a fiasco, Shiiqaal started Jubba Jaziira and Raxanweyn wanted a 6 region state, a HAG meeting was convened in London. The same points were raised and the usual suspects (all 2 dozen subclans in Jubbaland who were invited) refused to unite and form a jabhad. Cawrmaleh tried to go it alone and produced a former charcoal trader caaq called Iftiin Baasto who was arrested at the Airport
HG baa shirka ka tagay and said "timirtii horeba dab loo waa" we negotiated with Axmed Madoobe to grant the Shiiqaal son of a former Sultan, Ina Lugadheere the Vice Presidency and the Gaaljecel became contracted businessmen selling all the charcoal instead of the Cawrmaleh. The rest of the Giirgiir banaanka aa loo tuurey.
