Has Federalism already failed in Somalia?

No, the corrupt FGS failed when they tried to dismantle relatively peaceful federal states while they barely control a block in their own capital.

 

[DR OSMAN]

It's the law of the land. Somalis agreed to it, it's not questionable and decided. The only question is power-sharing and responsibilities which is what is failing because it hasn't been done as each president prefers the 'blurry' lines as it is easier to get away with your politics but with a ratified constitution and clear boundaries, their will be courts who will impeach the president.

It's really mogadishu who en joys the status quo, remember lawlessness is their mode of politics

It has failed. The federal mooryans need a dictator . Failmaajo needs to put the khat down and unleash the SNA and international community on all federal states . Bring them under control

Xaaf said it best:

Federalism is the new reality, power centered only around the central government will never work in Somalia, this is my belief

3 out of 5 federal states are completely broke and PL and JL are on verge of collapse if not for modest income from small ports of Bosaso and Kismayo. These are the words of the former ambassador to Somalia. Federalism is dead .

You're in every thread about the country lying and insulting it.

But on this you have the countries interest in mind? Lol why are you against federalism?

Please don’t crucify me for this, but i propose a unitary government, the old 18 provinces of Somalia.

No it hasn't. The success and the failure of this system depends on the president. It will obviously fail if the president is a stubborn and controlling freak like Farmaajo. Remember, Federalism is the only scheme that could hold Somalia together despite the hatred and division inherited from the civil war.

I’m telling the truth, should I link the video for the ambassador saying the same thing? I don’t give a f*ck about the countries interest it’s just a fact 3/5 states are already bankrupt and the other 2 are on verge of collapse. And you guys think federalism is working?

It’s the only way. Some people are mooryans and need direct rule

You could argue if you hate each other why even share a country? Its not better to focus on fixing the hate issues than involving a complex system like federalism to nomads?

 

[Knet]

I prefer Strong Federal States than a weak Federal government in Mogadishu!

It’s good that you prefer that but the problem is both the federal government and the federal states are weak , and now the states are acting like they don’t need the FG. No other option but to crush the federal states

 

[SOMALI GENERAL]

Federalism could potentially work, but only the genuine version; qabiil based federalism won't work.

Sharing a country is vital for our ethnic group otherwise our big neighbors will assimilate and eat us up one by one.

 

[SomaliMVP]

These idiots are the reason why the arms embargo will never be lifted.

 

[AarLibaax]

This type of tribal federalism is rubbish end of story.

Federalism as a system can work to speed up the development of multiple regions, but Military, Foreign Affairs & National Security should be exlusive to the Central Gov.
