As a Somalilander, I know little about the Federal State Politics within Somalia (beside Puntland). Can anyone provide a good summary of the key issues?

What are you on aboutSame it looks abou manic. You don't know who's in charge just Everyman claiming everything. In top of all developments in Mog only
Rahmanweyn is not even a proper clan it's just a loose collection which share an identity.What do you want to know about Somalia? Read the development plan released by the government to get a more accurate plan.Its on the site of the Somali ministry of planning led by my warsengali uncle.Even if you search online, it is difficult to find clear analysis of what is going on in the various states, and the desire to create new states. I had never even heard of Rahanweyn until I was an adult, and I have no idea what their priorities are.

The federal states leaders have power in their respective regions.The Federal government weilds significant influence over all states, the extent of both entities powers will be finalised in a writing of a new constitution.Ministry of planning works with all states to ensure projects are carried out effectively especially ones implemented by the government.I want to know who has what power in the Federal states, basically. Ministry of Planning is an important ministry, but what power does the central plan have in relation to the states?

For instance the Hobyo port is being built under the guise of the galmudug state but the ministry of planning helps coordinate funding and smooth the cracks.
It's a hit or miss.Each state has a quasi constitution which has parliaments.Think of each state as simply another somaliland without a quest for recognition.Other than puntland most other states are allocated minimal funds as there governments are often more corrupt and ineffective.With the recent unification of galmudug more funding should go to that state.Kismaayo , Hirshabelle , and SW state suffer from large insurgency and hence need to have a war before they can attempt at reformation.I see. So the Federal states do not have the same kind of ministerial structure as the FGS? How is the budget of the FGS allocated across the states for these kind of coordination tasks? Sorry for asking a million questions, I am just curious in order to know how functionally independent the non Puntland states are so I have some point of reference. Also, how does the distribution of power work in the more diverse states, Jubaland e.g..
That's what the constitution will explain, let's hope it can be formed.Galmudug will be the next state to begin functioning.FGS is always against decentralisation as it just has negative effects on the country through foreign interference.The question I have is this, how can the FGS make sense of Federalism when only two states in that case demonstrate effective self-government? Do you think it would be possible for their to be a governmental structure where there are entities, like Bosnia, which is really two states and a third joint state? Would the southern regions accept an arrangement where Somaliland, Puntland and the FGS form a confederation, or does does Federal State demand a seat, even if their internal practices are repressive against marginalised groups and their politics are imposed from the top down?
