Maamul goboledka cusub Waqooyi-Bari (north east state)- the newest federal state in Somalia

[Itsnotthateasy]

I think some facts are in order:

1. Woqooyi Bari is a massive territory equal to ~3/4 of the land area inhabited by all of Isaaq in Somalia.
2. Las Anod district is only 17% of the land area of Woqooyi Bari.
3. The land area of Woqooyi Bari is larger than Woqooyi Galbeed and Togdheer combined.

Many have no understanding of the fact that it is basically impossible for a state to be made extinct once it has managed to establish itself. Remember that states like PL, WB or SL are better understood through the lens of the state, rather than being analyzed as subunits of a state. This is, unfortunately, entirely due to the weak nature of the FGS.

What does political science have to say about what happens to states once they are established and gain legitimacy from the people they govern? They are, for all intents and purposes, immortal. States are "sticky" things in the economic/political sense of the term, meaning that once created they can't be destroyed.

WB is forever.

the mucaraad against this move (shariff, Khaire, Abdishakur) + jubbaland and puntland probably throw in somaliland MPs into this mix and their power brokers in hargeisa as well. they all against HSM constitution changes and new state formation. If this crew gets back in power WBS in big trouble. WBS best bet is if HSM comes back in power second best probably farmaajo

Idoors are doing a similar strategy by extending their presence in Jiidaale, Biyogaduud, and other nearby towns.

You think they’re in these places? What’s your sources
