Somalia power-sharing model was to ensure that the President of the SFG is head of state a ceremonial role only not head of government. A president/pm allows for separation of power so it cannot be concentrated, in theory this is the safest system. Now in practise their has been much political instability over the two post due to the constitution not being completed. Please Somalis do not fall for HSM attack on the parliamentary system on the grounds it has led to instability. The theory and the practical must not be confused. Something can be beautiful in theory but a nitemare in reality, this doesn't mean the theory is faulty.
We must find the reasons why in practice the parliamentary system has caused conflict and resolve that not abadon the system. Imagine people all abadoned Islam because in practise it has shown poor results in practise. Imagine ppl abadoned democracy because in practise most countries are weak or failed democracies. Imagine the UN abadoned human rights declaration on the grounds many countries do not abide by it. Do not let HSM fool you to think the parliamentary system is bad on the grounds of political instability. Let's fix the political instability by fixing the constitution and addressing areas that are un-clear or can lead to loopholes.
The president will compete in popular elections with other presidential candidates from different parties before the people only not president/vp american system. The president will then nominate a PM under 4.5 in consultation with that regions clan such as PL/JL or with GM/HS. When 4.5 is removed for direct elections and multi-party, each party will present their presidential candidates and will run on one man one vote poll system and the parliament will be shared on party results. If it's 51/49 system which will force coalitions or 'cod dheeri' where a minority party leading the party numbers can establish a government will be discussed. The PM will be nominated from the party that wins on cod-dheeri or from the party that they coalitioned with to secure a 51% majority.
The discussion on this system isn't for now due to security challenges and HSM is only bringing it up so he can dis-empower the Darod PM post in 4.5. Darod are fuleys to respond to his jambal like I would on TV, asking HSM to put his own office into a ceromonial capacity rather then interfere in other clan quota in 4.5. I would tell HSM, why is it your clan has the capital and one of the top 2 posts, why don't you concede the HAG post to Dir under Irir which wouldn't violate 4.5 since your 1 clan you both argue. Finally Dr Osman will tell the people, it's healthier for good governance when the PM/President represent different clans to the capital, the capital can play a social check n balance, but if hawiye is in those post, it won't lead to good governance.
