Somalia government period has been realistically all Darod.

1960-1969 - We had Sharmarke and Abdirazaq Haji Hussein. Sharmarke was President and Abdirazaq Haji Hussein Prime minister. We enjoyed 4 years with Sharmarke as President. 4 years with Abdirazaq Haji Hussein. We were in 'full' power for those 8 years. Isaaq and Hawiye had to share their 9 years with Aden Adde and Cigaal. Let's be real brother. Darod Necebkani meel kuma gaynayso. Even Abgaal made that famous gabay 'rashid iyo razaq inta kale roti ba'. They knew we were constantly in power, while hawiye/isaaq were rotating.

1969-1991 - This is famous Marehan Era and Siyad barre.

1991-2000 - There was no real government. Just a bunch of warlords, conferences, government being declared in this period, but in Mogadishu it was warlords running the show. This period is known as 'dark period'.

2000 - 2004 - Abdiqasim Salat government. This govt was literally in hotels in Nairobi. Anyone who considers this a government is being stupid only. Being a government means you operate inside the country you govern, not outside of it.

2004 - 2009 - This is when the REAL Somali government started with Abdillahi Yusuf and Federalism became the 'law of the land'. This was military period and removing anti government elements in Mogadishu using Puntland forces, money, and lives while being assisted with Ethiopians. The mission was completed. Habar gedir was disempowered, killed, bakaraha was destroyed. Warlord era came to an end.

2009 - 2012 - We came back again with 'Gaas' as Prime minister and we ended the 'transitional' government phase and became 'officially' a Somali Federal Republic. We are now based in Mogadishu Villa Somalia. In This phase Shabab was born and began an Insurgency.

2012 - 2020 - We had a few Prime ministers like Sharmarke with Hassan Sheikh presidency, but our 'power' did decline during this ERA. We re-focused on Puntland. We established our main goal, that Mogadishu has a government and it's Federalism. We are now stuck in the era of 'what type of federalism' and 'resource sharing agreements' and finalizing the constitution and institutions needed.

End of story, really for Somalia. Majerten has been paramount in Somali government process. If you include 'darod', we have been there pretty much at every government. During 2012-2020. Marehan came back to 'prominence' due to 'anti majerten sentiments'. Saacid Hurdaaye, Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed(yoolka), and Now Farmaajo.

Darod has been consistently the 'backbone' of Somalia government process in every 'era' you want to speak in. As for the real governmen era it was 1960-1991. 9 years was the civilian government era and the 21 years military dictatorship. Everything after 91 weren't 'really' governments but trying to 'rebuild' a government. Even till today, I would consider this era 'rebuilding Somalia government' not the ACTUAL GOVERNMENT era
