Puntland is currently Independent according to it's constitution until such time the constitution is FINALIZED. It will only join a Somalia based on federal principles. If this doesn't occur within a suitable time-frame(status quo like now) , the government can declare secession. That is the truth about Puntland. So these PIM guys, relax, we are already Independent and will not join Somalia until the constitution is finalized and ratified and it follows federalism theme. Till then we can operate as freely as we want and not tied down to Mogadishu.
So why are these PIM guys running around for. We will not join a Somalia that is against Puntland or Regional interests. Untill we see a house where the bedrooms(regional states) are stronger and the capital is 'ceromonial' like a living room for 'martiga' wallahi we won't back down from that. It's better investing and building up the bedrooms of a house cause they are 'secured' by the clans who live in those bedrooms. There is ownership there, there isn't a big risk. Mogadishu is the capital and hence there is no ownership so everyone can chimp out as he likes. It makes sense that, don't you think? Yes a shift will happen, Hawiye will end up moving back to 'galmudug, hirshabelle, etc' because those regions will be their new mogadishu but this time, it will actually be OWNED BY THEM. There will be no more 'somali ba wada leh' this time it will be 'galmudug ba leh meeshan' iyo 'hirshabelle ba leh meeshan'. OWNERSHIP by clans who are majority there.
The hawiye cannot provide ownership of Mogadishu due to it's status as CAPITAL, this is the duty of all Somalis and hence not all Somalis are participating in the role of making it a capital, so it becomes a place of no ownership and dangerous when no-one owns a place, you can do what you want to it. Like if I go to your house and no-one owns it and tells me the rules of your house, it will turn into a CESSPOOL.
The capital will be ceremonial and owned by all of us and it's won't be as important anymore to hawiye or darod cause their regions are going to play a bigger role in the nation then the capital. This could lead to us never fighting over that cesspool place again. This is in the interest of all Somalis, federalism works for all, not just for SOME. Eventually, a power shift will happen. People will not care as much for the SFG and run primarily for their 'state government' since Somalis prefer a place where the 'power' is.
This is equal footing for all clans, only a tribalist will say federalism is bad. Because if hamar is given all power, that is tribalism since hamar is one clan majority but not CONTROL WISE. No1 owes hamar sxb, just cuz hawiye is majority, doesn't mean they OWN IT or set the rules for it. A tribalist will want one city bein the power, a somali wadani wants all regions being the power EQUALLY as state government. No clan loses in federalism but 99% of all clans lose in CENTRALISM
