We need Confederate States of Somalia. Xamar is broken and can not be trusted.you talk about federalism then immediately start talking about confederalism, somaliland and puntland are not "federal" states at all. they govern themselves without intervention from the central government (somaliland itself doesn't even claim to be part of this central governments nation) that is a confederate system. a federal system requires the states to take a backseat to the fgs government, that is not happening. these states are instead on the same level as the fgs, they negotiate with the fgs over national policy and can, and do, refuse to cooperate when they wish. they engage in their own foreign policy, make independent trade deals, police their own borders etc. when multiple independent entities exist under a single nation that is not a federal state, it is a confederate state. whether you think its a good system or not is another subject the fact that you call the fgs "overlords" already shows you aren't interested in actual federalism, though, and prefer the confederate status quo
