Farmaajo calls out HSM

[Zak12]

The federal member states have been around for more than 20 years now. In all thag time what have they accomplished?

More than FGS has done. FGS is a predatory government that spends more time stealing funds and making illegal deals than actually governing properly. I mean not only did they literally invade Jubaland months ago despite being in a campaign against Al-Shabab, but they have a long history of screwing over FMS like Puntland in regards to aid and development. If a FMS wants to say f*ck you to Mogadishu and refuse to collaborate they are justifed in doing so given how untrustworthy FGS is.

Once a new government is established, all the FMS will come together and draft a new constitution that will finally allow a proper federalism to take place.

I used to believe that too . But in reality this is not true. The fms have been around from 20+ years and yet no agreements have been reached. The truth is that none of them want to give up power. So they will always find some excuse to not come to an agreement.

This ultimately comes down to the fact that nobody gives up power willingly. Also its not like the fms don't use the same tactics as hsm does. Didn't ahmed madobe and deni both choose their own polticans to represent certain clans because there were disagreements between them ? Hsm might be the most corrupt of all. But he's definitely not unique and the somali poltical class across the country all share rhe same qualities.

The same Abdullahi Yusuf who used Ethiopian military support to assert control also unilaterally sacked the prime minister to block peace talks an action that ultimately led to his resignation after parliament intervened. I honestly don’t understand how you portray him as someone who was willing to 'negotiate, compromise, and lead by consensus.'

The same PM (Col. Nur), who was:

• Accused of being an agent (for Walad Abdalla), and proved to be in his sabotaging of the Sudan agreement between al Shabab|ICU, and the TFG?
• The same Ethiopians opposition started calling our 'brethren ' a day after A Yusuf's resignation?
• The same Ethiopians TFG opposition had been spying for?
• The same Ethiopians who laid the foundation for the stable Xamar opposition is so proud of today?

Actually, in 2017, the FGS and all FMS agreed on the National Security Architecture, which outlined force levels, civilian oversight, and the division of security forces. However, Jubaland and Puntland later withdrew, and FMS leaders united against Mogadishu at the 2017 Kismayo Summit. Their reason was that resource sharing and the chain of command were "vague." when in reality they abandoned the consensus for political leverage.

No, the plan was to design a National security programme together by the FGS and FMSs, yet the FGS decided to unilaterally build what they called SNA, which was later disbanded, and replaced with Macawisley.

Did you want mature FMSs like PL and JL to rely upon pseudo SNA Macawisley at XSM's whim? I bet you reckon that is acceptable.

Do you object to XSM airlifting troops to Ras Kamboni for the simple purpose of overthrowing JL's legitimate President on the grounds of his disagreeing with his demands?

Could you envisage Dacish operation in Bari under his command?

1. National defense
The Constitution grants the FGS control over national defense, but lacks a clear policy on how federal and regional forces should be integrated or commanded.

Policy Impacts:

• Delays in building a unified national army.
• Undermines national operations against Al-Shabaab.

2 Foreign policy
The FGS is constitutionally responsible for foreign relations, but without a ratified foreign policy framework or enforcement mechanism, FMS have signed independent agreements with UAE, Ethiopia, Kenya .

Policy Impact

• Erodes Somalia’s diplomatic coherence and sovereignty.
• Undermines the federal government's legitimacy on the global stage.
• Complicates international aid and development negotiations

3. Judiciary and constitutional oversight
The Constitutional Court, meant to resolve FGS-FMS disputes, has not been established. Thus, conflicts are settled politically or remain unresolved.

Policy Impact

• Political gridlocks escalate due to lack of arbitration.
• Delays in constitutionally required reforms (e.g., elections, federal laws).
• Weakens rule of law and checks on executive overreach.

So, you wanted the Constitution to detail National security programme, and Defence strategies? Again, N Security programme incl . Defence policies was intended to be designed together by the FGS and FMSs, and not unilateraly drafted in dark allies by rogue agents in Xamar.

The main requirement: FMSs would maintain their own local armies, out of which a FGS army would be formed in the future - No FGS armies could exist without the FMSs. In its current form, there can not be FGS armies on the ground in FMSs. Reason: FGS in its current form poses a grave danger to State bulding process, and more so to FMSs that it could not be trusted with armed forces. Case in point: Farmajo (Dhusamareeb & Baydhaba) & XSM (Ras Kamboni).

Postscript:
Under the right, competent leadership, FGS can implement and advance Powers entrusted unto it; four Powers. As and when so has been realised, then we could discuss cooperative federalism, till then let FMSs develop, and progress. Let FGS stabilise Xamar.
