I know this will hurt Puntlanders. But we are only the Mother of Federalism. We gave birth to the first regional government and then the first Federal government. But every birth 'requires' semen and a father. Who is the father? koley 'garac manahine' ama 'cirka kama soo degin' fekerku. This federalism idea has roots in 91 Mogadishu with Aideed. We must honor this and respect this and not deny it. He told each clan to go back home and he said Hamar is tribal territory for Hawiye. This was the 'seed or semen' of federalism. He brought the idea, not PL. PL would've continued in centralism if this idea of 'go back to your tribal lands' wasn't mentioned in 91.
@Dues Ex Machete has inspired me who actually 'blames' HG for 'tribal warfare'. It's true, before tribal warfare, if it was just insurgency, we would've remained in Mogadishu as darod clans and noone would've thought about 'federalism' and we would all be working on a strong central state as Dues loves. But since that 91 debacle, even Marehan Elders have 'tanasuled' forget the kids on SPOT, ask their elders are they PRO federal or Pro central and you will see the answer is overwhelmingly pro federal. It's hard to ignore sxb.
So let's give HG their rightful role of 'father of federalism' and PL it's rightful role for turning that idea into a government system that we can cooperate inside with. From today on-wards I will consider HG the 'founder' OF Federalism. But the mother is always PL who actually turned it into a working model with regional governments being born and the Federal government in Mogadishu. We never 'envisioned' this idea of tribal territories, only AIDEED DID. Thanks Aideed, today The north west and north east is developing rapidly due to your idea or else it would've been 'gaari-wa' and non developed. Let's not hate 'visionaries' is what I am saying. I don't hate aideed like the kids of diaspora do, I see him as a visionary at the same level of 'sayidka' who brought this idea of somalinimo to begin with. I haven't seen a single 'visionary' in PL, we just 'adapt' and create 'govt models' we are 'good siyasi' not 'inventors'.
