HS, KG and GM were not states yet, just 3 territories with three leaders who claimed these lands. Even the FGS with no power could deal with them easily, because of their international aid billions and the generous foreign daddys (turkey, qatar, ethopia, uganda and co).
JL will be the first difficult test for Farmaajo and Kheyre. Madoobe controls with Kismaayo a strategic important city, hails from a big community and has the back of Kenya. I think they will just try to bring another loyal Ogadeen to cut of his tribal support at least. This won't be that easy anyway. PL will be the final exams. We will see inshAllah who has the upper hand in the end.

How? The FGS will surely try to dismantle Pland before Sland.Somaliland region will fold quicker than Puntland me thinks.

Those "competing interests" prefer peace over chaos. If they didn't care about peace then Sland would be in chaos like the south.There is too many competing interests in Somaliland region (easy to exploit). Puntland is just the 3 Maxamuud Salebaan majority.

In the early 80s SNM weren't as armed as Sland is now sxb. Also the government was much more capable than this current one and had its army in all of the major towns in the north that helped those tribal militias in those times. You can't comapare the situations.That is for now but once opportunity provides itself sh!t will hit the fan just like during Siad
Bare government when Awdal, eastern Sanaag and Las Anod communities were armed by
the Gov. To make matters worse this time communities that made up the SNM during that
time aren't even united.
I really doubt that. The FGS is still an "interims government" with no statehood. They lack legislative, executive and judiciary institutions in Xamar, let alone any other part of the country. Billions are spent to held the capital intact for them, they don't have the resources for SL. They would prefer to unite the parts, who supports unity, hence they will go for PL first.

And how would FGS exploit Sland without dismantling Pland?Whether Sland is armed or not is not the point or if the SFG is strong. The point is Somaliland region has way way more holes and divisions than Puntland so that is why it can be exploited easier by the SFG.
Where do you get the idea it is "Interim"? interim era ended in 2012 this is the official
permanent government for entire Somalia recognized by all nations.The SFG already has
resources that is why they are weakening the federal states one by one and getting them
under their thumbs. You think they used peanuts to achieve their goals in the different
federal states? it is in the tune of millions of dollars.
And how would FGS exploit Sland without dismantling Pland?
Interims government in my books means, they are not de facto representative of Somalia, but only Xamar. The IC just needed a partner in 2012, this does not mean we have a real government, it does only mean they represent Somalia de jure. Until the constitution is finished and the president is elected, they are nothing more than an interim solution.
But yes their recognition brought them a lot of many and international support, but this alone will not be enough for SL. They achieved their goals in lawless "territories", not federal states. We will see what they achieve in Kismaayo and then u can tell me they have actually faced an administration.
Do you listen to yourself horta? if the SFG doesn't represent Somalia officially who does, Somaliland region? there is a reason you need a stamp from the SFG to export your livestock to other countries. Time to smell the coffee and wake up from the delusions.
Well Sland won't fall unless the FGS has resources enough to control it.How are the two connected? SFG doesn't have to dismantle Puntland first to exploit Sland.
