Many people here talk about the balkanization of Somalia and want each qabil/federal state to form their own country.
In the following points I'll proof to you that this is not a viable solution.
1) qabil states are weak even weaker than united somalia. Every single somali state including Puntland and Somaliland will be an easy prey for foreign countries. If you thought somalia was a puppet state wait until we have 6-7 puppet states. Jubaland will be at high risk of annexation from Kenya.
2) it won't solve the problem of qabil infighting. Galmudug would be a Habar Gidir majority country and this would cause clashes with Marexaan and maybe even a war with Puntland over Gaalkacyo and certain areas of Mudug. JL will be a kenyan puppet state with constant clashes between Ogadeen and Marexaan. Southwest will have clashes between maxaa and maay speaking clans.
3) it won't solve the issue of terrorism, the terrorists will benefit from attacking many small weak states. Certain areas like JL have AS presence almost everywhere outside big cities, 50% of Galmudug is controlled by terrorists, same with south west and Hirshabelle.
4) Mogadishu status would be a cause of war, different states will fight over the city as it's the wealthiest in the country. Who will take it? Southwest? Hirshabelle? Nobody knows
5) citizenship would be a mess. How can you base citizenship on qabil? Which country would people join? Many somalis live in areas were their clan isn't the majority, many also have mothers from other clan. Families would be separated by borders.
6) the economy of most states will be a mess, even worse than now. Let's keep it Real, the only "developed" areas of somalia are Hargeysa, Mogadishu , Bosaso and Garowe. That's it, the rest of the country cannot survive on it's own. Imagine an undeveloped city like dhusomareeb being capital of Galmudug , it would be a joke.
7) at the end of the day each new independent country will experience the same problems that affect united Somalia but it would be much worse.
Balkanization can't work.
