Juxa deserves to be president of Puntland. I have no doubt of this.
I like how he compare our election and PL creation. He is right, that time there were MJ waiting xamar others said we will create our own state until xamar come back. Even they said PL will break Somalia like SL.Juxa deserves to be president of Puntland. I have no doubt of this.
If we want Puntland to be an effective state, we cannot continue to rely on clan leaders to pick our parliament. The clan elder system is at the breaking point, it is falling apart after 25 years of pressure.
There will be competition any way after the clan system fails. We need democracy so that competition is peaceful. Peaceful competition can only be achieved by democracy.
Be careful what you wish for, for democracy is not quite what it is lauded up to be. Just look at the US, where failure of democracy, as a system, is visible with the nation divided along tribal lines on the brink of deadly civil war. Not to mention the Victor Orbans, and Bolsanaros of the world. It may suit the violent, if hierarchically subservient European culture, but not egalitarian, nomadic cultures of these parts.If we want Puntland to be an effective state, we cannot continue to rely on clan leaders to pick our parliament.
