The best model to restore Somali confidence is thru federation. It's about time we adopt the american model of presidential candidates, if you look at their elections and see the candidates lining up, they;re all 'ex governors' of regions. They gained their govt experience locally or regionally as a stepping stone.
Why don't Somalis want this system which Abdillahi Yusuf paved the way for? He came to Villa Somalia with government experience in PL, why can't all our leaders follow this model and gain experience in their homeland first.
Me and @Pwyneth Galtrow are damn serious about this matter as we are sick of ngo candidates of kheyre-hsm-rooble and sunday school teachers being elected to the top office and we see the same cycle happening again. All Somalis want to reach the top position but with no experience at the bottom, how can anyone trust a word you say? How can we expect to see a functional government when we have HAG candidates who come from the most dysfunctional regions in Somalia like HS/GM. Obviously they will just pass on their dysfunction at the federal level and keep us all stalled.
The only solution is to have each clan go back and seek government roles in their own land, gain much needed experience locally, deliver change and implement progress for your people. I would be more then happy to vote for you even if you come from another clan because I see a 'Track record' to judge you on.
Imagine how competitive and quality like our elections will be when regional ministers, mayors, governors of HS/GM/JL/SL/SW all stand up for federal election and we get to analyse their performance in their homeland. We will have a competitive politics based on quality then.
