I hope someone in PL can sit this dumb ass farmaajo down who isn't a politician and give him a run-down of Darod interests. He even hates federalism which is a Darod and Somali interest. For we know if USC unites again under one leader, we already have proof of that outcome, but if they are kept separate from each other it's just sub-clans and no sub clan is really stronger then the other and hence the stalemate in somalia. If abdilahi yusuf didn't support ali mahdi, these guys could've have run all over Somalia as PL and JL are separated due to distance and cannot unite and would be 'isolated' sub-clans and sitting ducks for a wider tribe that is united.
It is not in his interest hawiye is united also, for Gedo will be over-run in a day. Federalism is a Darod project and if it doesn't succeed, it's best to leave the nation cause what else will come but a united hawiye under a central ruler which means all their resources and soldiers are directed to clans who are separated due to distance. Aideed knew this and that's why he done what he did, thankfully abdillahi yusuf countered and broke it up and turned them on each other or the outcomes in somalia could have been very different.
So let's sit this inexperienced politician down and give him an elementary run-down and teach his mouth 'federalism' and make him sell it as 'true solution' to Somali woes which it is cause no1 will really be stronger then the other at a sub-clan level and maintains the status quo so we can negiotate and talk. But once that dynamic changes, serious repercussions can occurr and if history doesn't convince him, im not sure what will.
