The issue somalis are facing now is also the same reason why we are so spread out and have the most land as a single ethnic group in Africa.
Our issue is that we respected each other as fellow somalis to much and overall most of the major clans were and are still similar in strength. So instead of uniting we instead directed our energy on the non somalis around us. The amharas stayed in there mountain and unified after whatever group came out on top.
Right now we are going through what somalis should have gone thru 100s of years ago.
Think of it like this if somalis were on an island let's say we inhabited Madagascar and it would have reach a point where we have conquerored the island for our ethnic group but then with no viable expansion we would have unified all somalis under the rule of one clan after they over powered the other clans and civil war and all that takes place and then the clan system would have been slowly fazed out in favour of nationhood identity so no one can rebel agaisnt the clan that won.
This is what has happened in most of Europe and how the idea of nations came about. England and France had a 100 year civil war over this and then the war of the Roses which resulted in the British empire after they unified that then went on to conqueror the world.
Unifying requires destroying. Right now that we live in a global world with strict borders its As if we can no longer expand so now we have decided to turn against each other leading to the civil war and clan beefs but we are restricted at the same time and limited in what we can do so are in a deadlock between the clans.
