I do think personally Darods no matter Harti, Sade, Absame are kinda weak.
These people have already made up their minds about an irir samaale nation.
I don't see pleading with them will change anything really which is all you ever see from any Darod leader irrespective of sub clan.
As the absame political Historian is aware. They only meet up in Djibouti if an event or incident in the South or North is harming irir samaale pact. Khatumo definitely was a big disruption to the irir clan nazis.
But their also concerned about Isaaq unity(HY and HA) as they see it as aideed and ali mahdi situation simmering away into a cold war scenario for 30 years and is obviously harming irir samaale political objectives.
They do discuss with HSM or any Villa Somalia president about the JL situation and how to pit marehan and ogadens on each other to bring them both under Villada like SW, GM, HS. The boys in villada irrespective of darod or hawiye will focus on JL, who is a big problem to their irir samaale project.
The final show down is in PL tho, as long as JL has been dealt an irir samaale blow, they already got their cards ready for an explosive insurgency in Bari mountains who will be called its time to rise now, while SL is outside Yoocade pummelling reer nugaaleed and reer mudug will be in fear as all these southies including JL, SW, GM, HS say haye what's up now dawg?
Wise people see these security scenario being played out before it happens, they just get disheartened by people who think playing tough man landheer shit will save them, everything is calculated and measured, no amount of faan or big talk will change it.
