Faroole makes a good point that federalism is collapsing as they’ve been mini dictatorships.
With FGS this isn’t feasible as too many clans and states make up the FGS. Whereas with FMS you can hijack them quite easily as they’re less diverse
Federalism is a done deal but not the model.Is medicine bad becuz of bad doctors? or democracy is bad becuz of failed democracies? come on you can't be so un-intelligent as not to distinquish the idea vs the human element. Federalism is a done deal and addresses all somali characteristics such as historical(pre colonial and colonial), post colonial and centralism experiment in civilian-kacaan, civil war, economic disparity, cultural, etc. No system addresss all that in every dimension or in somali lingo 'wejiyo kala duwan buu address gareeya'.
Federalism is a done deal but not the model.
Upper House was yesterday discussing 7 different types of federalism. Some with a strong central government and others more on the confed side.
I believe with the way we’re headed we’ll be on the strong central government model

Haye when FGS starts collecting taxes in South-Central Somalia and split them with those states don’t complain they are richer than you because they are financially backed by the FGS and you don’t receive a pennyWe should all lean towards a loose confederation first to establish trust not rush to a centralized format of federalism as it will reproduce the same failure of past systems. It doesnt address our culture either of clan independence, it is mimicking colonial legacy and post independent govt(civilian and kacaan) which led to power abuses, economic isolation, lack of competition, it can lead to centralized collapse. The negativity of a central leaning federalism are far more then a loose confederation especially considering we are re-emerging from a civil war context.
But what is being discussed in the South doesn't really effect any pre-sfg existing govt IE - PL/SL, so let them hold whatever discussion or pass laws as it doesn't have any jurisdiction constitutionally in the federal and regional constitutions.
All of Somalia should have the same model. We will wait for you to come to your senses@bidenkulaha remember my hybrid federalism model solution, we don't need to have relationship with the federal govt across all Somalia. South-Central can have it's centralized federalism, while PL enjoy a hong kong higher autonomy status in a '2 system 1 nation model'. Think 'hybrid' federalism not '1 model federalism'.
