Is decentralization the way forward for Somalia?

[Crow]

Last week I was a lander and now I'm a centralist?

We already know you're reer kastumo.

We never really had a chance at nation building. If we split up into autonomous fiefdoms it'll just exacerbate the divisions.

Also it will create more problems than it would solve.

How will we decide on these "state" borders?

You'd just end up with another reason to fight.

Let's start with a single city first and provide basic services to the population and then if we still can't get along we would have built an economy large enough to fund the development of these fiefdoms.

You can't put the cart before the horse.

We don't have the funds to build a single large hospital so how do you plan to build a dozen?

However in a single city it would be cost effective to build one large one instead.

We can also get away with less doctors per capita as long as people don't have to travel for hundreds of miles to get treated.

The more decentralised Somalia has become the worse the standard of living and development has become.

There really is no argument for decentralization that isn't based off qabyaalad.

Galdogob was like a village of few houses in the 90s and today it is the second biggest city in Mudug region after Galkacyo. Some of the ambulances in the video was donated by my cousin (she makes a lot of $). Diaspora plays a vital role in development of Somalia.

Decentralisation is a great thing and is definitly the way forward for our country.

Central Gov will by nature try to assert its Power but we mustn't ever destroy it again.

The future is Blue

Don't go down this rabbit hole.

How in the living hell are you comparing the two without a fair trial period.

When the nation was centralised, we actually had a government.

Now the nation is decentralised you can't just compare. We are still in a civil war!

Decentralised governance offers way more than centralisation of governance.

Or am i wrong he

Kkkkkk

Somalia has made no progress since 2006, in fact it's actually far worse in terms of development that in 2006. This includes South Somalia , Puntland and Somaliland, so conflict/shabaab isn't an excuse.

More decentralisation which is what federalism is based off has made the country worse off , the statistics don't lie.

A system like 1950 America is the way to go.

What was the system they using?.

 

[tootrappy]

Your right we need to create the united states of Somalia

 

[Daacad90]

If 80+ tribes in ethiopia with the most diverse origins can form a confederation, why can't Somalis who allegedly come from one man, share the same language and religion???

You still can't compare until the nation is stable. Your statistics are biased and unfair.

Atleast after 9 years of federalism, until then your statistics are wrong.

In Puntland perhaps all of Somalis Mudug is the most developed regional gobaal. I have seen it with my own sees as I travel across Puntland.

Divided we'll be eaten up like appetizers.

Only United can we fend off the hyenas surrounding us.

You think any of our states could singlehandedly defend itself against Ethiopia or even worse China?

We don’t have to be divided we can be like America. Central government enacts new reforms, states supervise it, communities/cities implement it. And we would still be united under the star

 

[Tukraq]

yup f*ck centralization we need to be forward thinking, we should see galkaio as a Chicago, Kismayo as a Miami, Hargeisa as an sanfransico, Mogadishu as a DC, every city competing and developing only idiots would want to centralize development, even the small tuulos should be better than Mogadishu is today in the near future
