Ninyahow people in Galkacyo are walking knee deep in water and you telling me you are ok spending 1.8 mill to another mamuul as if we have surplus of revenues? Let them seek it from Gargurte
Lets thought experiment your PL first irrespective of existential threats view point. As a PL president if presented with the following Intel.
1. The SNM want to reach Garowe and are doing so thru a fractured Dhulbahante since 2007 in a phase by phase stage over a decade(They were at Tukaraq 4 God sakes). Do u want to hand PL people SNM and Dhulbahante having checkpoint at Boocame?
2. Irir are at work politically since the 97 Cairo conference and using various postures be it terrorism or political islam due to Ikhwaan who are in a brutal axis posture(Egypt, Qatar, Turkey) playing idealogical(Egypt), Funding(Qatar), and Turkey is nominated as the Face. Their also involved in various sunni countries affair to see thru an Ottoman led caliphate to put pressure on western world about Turkey Geopolitical significance and footprint. Go look at Turkey embassy footprint(the size of China and America) no normal nation with no geopolitical ambition creates such presence.
3. Irirism is real and conaidered a plan b solution by hawiye and isaaq to see somalia governed as 2 distinct yet equal entities(south and north) in a twin capital model, they have their own separate plan A(centralism 4 hawiye and secession for Isaaq) but thats basically their leverage tool against each other only to see who gets more of Somalia, their not arguing about ensuring 90 towns in the nation must fall under hargeisa or mogadishu.
4. The federal govt is dedicated to bringing JL under its sphere of control and influence since its founding and uses various means for that so it can complete southern objective of being under Hamar like GM and HS are before calling Isaaq and Djibouti to coordinate SNM and Dhulbahante who are now outside Garowe to apply maximum.pressure on PL to cede its federalism for irirism lol or else face severe consequences.
They also planted terrorists in the mountain for this reason to serve as extra pressure. Its a 3 way dance on the sitting duck PL who cannot fight a 3 way war, it will expend its manpower and resources while the enemy is coordinating and sharing the war effort.
Now can you tell me as a sitting president of PL and you were presented with such intel would you choose to ignore it due to some impulsiveness(fudeednimo) or shortsightedness(personal interest or PL first idealogy or clan issue u have). I would think that's quite careless as your contributing to PL fall and ending a 25 year journey that started in 1998.
I just like you am PL first, I am Neo Traditionalist in political flavour and qadiyad, I am strong believer of evidence based politics and policies and accountability(good governance thru sharci not on the whims of the leader of the day) but even me will drop all that when security is on the table, this vetos everything I hold to be true automatically, security is absolutely the most important thing in life, dreams and progress are truly secondary if your residents are dead, homeless, chaos, refugees, lose land and identity.
