I agree with you sxb that all clan enclaves and the puppet govt in Xamar are all foreign run. However the Somali regional states are too underdeveloped and lack the manpower on their own to repel foreign coalition. Only through a political and military co-operation between the new run regional states by diaspora Somalis could stand chance in the face of aggression.
Also,just like you, Im sick of the old fools from the diaspora or local ones who have sold us out.No election will ever change Somalia and the entire system needs to taken down
The states don't need that much political/military infrastructure to keep stable.
The current warlords running them barely have a couple hundred soldiers with shitty equipment.
You just need to neutralise the heads and their allys in the local clan structures.
Other than the top echelon backing the warlords most of them actually don't get paid that much and want to see a better Somalia.
An empty promise of immunity and jobs will keep them of your back.
Regarding the population.... Keep them informed of your goals and involve community leaders as much as possible while filtering out known foreign patsies or crooks.
Open media and transparency is important here but it's obvious our foreign minders in some embassy in Nairobi or Qatar will quickly have plans to take advantage of it.
Censorship isn't the solution here ... the only option is to drown them out with noise. This obviously needs to be planned ahead of the event.
As long they can keep those few top towns in each state stable you win half the battle.
After that it's just agreeing to a temporary constitution and a political roadmap to distract your opponents while the real main focus should be to open up the economy.
The only way to build real legitimacy is by increasing the share of the population who's interests are aligned with yours.
Quickly create laws for land and property ownership.
Let people register vacant land within specific development zones and auction the most valuable plots.
When your land title depends on this new government being around means that you just got a couple hundred thousand supporters.
Once each state is under temporary control the "revolutionary councils" who came from those states can meet up with the other groups from other states and work out a plan for either coexistence, a union or a central government.
Don't really care what'll be but at least this time it would be created by Somali people instead of having our previous retarded constitution drafted for us by Italy and Britain back in the 60's.
