You expect them to hold onto regions to tax but not have any control over the military?
Furthermore your asking them to completely go against everything they profess and join “Kufr”. This is coupled with the reality that we are in an extremely weak negotiating position for many reasons and are looking more and more like Afghanistan.
The Famous Poet Qamaan Bulxan AUN once said i debate with my self before i sit beneath the tree and debate with men so i can iron out weak logic
most people do not have 2nd dimensions thinking let alone 4th dimension , these caruur are just blowing off steam and do not deep or critically think of the issue, notice how most somalis are very simplistic in problem solving,
many somalis will say we want a centralised government so we can have a strong state, nostalgia perhaps? most do not know why they want this or how they will curb the presidents tribe using the state resources to wage war with other clans, which has happened since 1960 and when you put a confederacy type structure as a solution, most will not even consider before they did not think deeply of the solutions of the very thing they desire to discuss
thus most s lack deep critical thinking skills and are easily mislead, perfect example the person you reply to , i am not attacking him or her, just their logic deductive skills
a father was k=asked in kismayo to be damiin for his son who was alshabab, the son said you are all kufar and i will kill you, father said why should i damiin him when he sees me as gaal and desire death on me
the reason s cannot move forward and are stuck with a bastardised format of federlism is because there are no deep thinking skills with in who ever runs the state
this is why i came to the conclusion a long time ago, i will not debate a person and educate them at the same time, you will be talking to someone who cannot understand you
