Do clans have the right to self determination

Sure they do, but not in the sense you might think. All peoples have a right to self-determination. If a clan meets the criteria required to be recognized as a “people,” then yes, it could qualify. However, individual Somali clans generally do not meet those criteria.

Even if they did, that would not automatically grant them the right to external self-determination, meaning the right to form an independent state, unite with another, or freely determine their international status. Rather, they would be entitled to internal self-determination, which is the right of a people within an existing state to pursue their own development, maintain a degree of autonomy, and enjoy political representation within that state.
 
Welll i think ethnic groups dont even have the right to self determination in some cases remember the kurds the somalis in the ogaden region., its a right but its not always granted by the countries these ethnic groupslive in , but its a grey area because when they say peoples , they dont say what they mean
 
No clan has solely decided anything, modern day Somalia came to existence with the co-operation of various clans, practically all clans participated.

The problem is clans have reverted back to cawaannimo and shortsightedness. It shouldn’t be hard for clans to acknowledge that cooperation is the way forward.

The government is the FGS which is the successor state to all the previous governments. It has the authority and clans should abide by it. Its corrupt, but it can be salvaged.
None of this true, genuinely astonished to see people completely revise entire sections of somali history.
 
by your logic Dhulahante because they are a sub clan cannot deicde whether they want to be with Somaliland or with puntland or remain woqoiyi bari , because they are a subclan isnt that a bit unfair do you think

i dont think it really comes down to ethnic and religion maybe ethnic but define ethnic , eritrea tigrinya and ethiopia tigrigina are the same people , bot both fough for different self determination but on the same side against amhara., and the UN considered their struggle well atleast the eritrean one of self determination. i do agree the rahanweyn have a case because they have a distrinct language.. but some how Somaliland also Somaliland is something like scotland and somalia proper is like england and wales combined., scots speak english with a different accent reer woqoiyi do the same., and some how there was a distrinc history prior to colonialims , how ever form ethnic point of view the rahanweyn case is bigger because they actually speak a whole different language so to answer the question clans have the right to self determination but at the same time they dont
The case of Ethiopia vs Eritrea has some slight differences. First Eritrea was basically annexed by Ethiopia after WW2 under the agreement with the UN that they would treat them as an autonomous province, the agreement was not fulfilled though and Eritrea was fully integrated within the Ethiopia kingdom and later the comunista regime

No such thing of Xaartuumo. Sool will not be divided, all of it including the Eastern parts will be SL.
