Democracy is a sham especially in a society like somalia were it's clan based.
Democracy is a specific way of governance that works best at a local level imo.
It has only been used in the national level by the Western world which already is a pretty unique society with no tribe or clan structure, the western society runs on the Nuclear family which most of the world doesn't do.
In somalia especially we are split by clans who are all on pretty equal level in that one clan has never dominated all Somalis and so that leaves us in a constant state of competition and war.
The only way somalia can function as a modern nation state is by having a dictator/monarch who rules the nation with complete power so the ruler will be able to push laws and changes to develop the country and drag it into the modern industrial age.
But I don't believe somalia should be a full dictatorship, I think some power should be given to 2 houses.
One house would be filled with senators/MPs who are elected at the local level in a 1 man 1 vote and represent each region of the country.
The other house should be a clan assembly made up of elders of all clans who come together to solve disputes in a civilised manner rather than go start another civil war. The reason I would want a house in government dedicated to clans is because no matter how much I hate it, it is simply a way of life and is so entrenched in somali society that we just have to adapt to it if we want to succeed
