The average Somali you see are very simple. They see politics in two lights.
1. 1960 Somalia with a nice democracy and Somalinimo unity and one government
2. 1980 Somalia with a strong president and weak institutions and regions plus Somalinimo unity
They have been in this 'round robbin' circle for 30 years and even though it shows no fruitful outcome and they're lives are not changing for the better, the average Somali cannot think outside this 'context'. Anything new or un-tied is 'viewed' with suspicion or considered un-orthodox.
I mean why you think @embarassing dismisses everything I propose? it's not because the actual proposal is un-workable as she doesn't criticize that, she criticizes me as 'unorthodox' and therefore refers to my mental illness in order to delegitimatize any solution I provide. Sometimes you need to be un-orthodox in your solution especially when you know the orthodox style of politics(somalinimo, hal dawlad, hal luqad, hal diin) has failed these people and is simply not showing any 'gains' locally.
Time is ticking but we have barely moved an inch in comparison. Considering the amount of governments we had, donor funds, tax funds, and all the Somali people 'will' for a restored nation is never delivered, this leads some to look at the Somali matter from a 'different' angle which may be un-orthodox or not 'pallatable' for the Somali psyche.
For example when I refer to Galmudug solution as a region that would operate better as a non-govt territory and under a 'treaty' this may seem un-orthodox but can you propose anything else to work. Surely not a government they attempted that for nearly 30 years and leads to 'blood-shed' or '3 governments'.
Repeating the cycle isn't going to produce a different result. These people were at 'peace' for the most part of the civil war after PL made them sign a 'ceasefire agreement', this is a form of a 'security treaty' it seemed to keep the peace in the region untill guess what? they started to interfere in the region from mogadishu.
Anytime you suggest a government in this area, it leads to negative outcomes and why the international community supports this is unfair to the Galmudug citizen and people. If we propose a 'treaty' and declare it 'Tribal reserve', we can begin writing up the stipulations of the treaty of how this tribal reserve and the state will accommodate each other needs. This isn't the first time these type of treaties have been done, it's been done a long time where 'kingdoms or states' met un-governed people.
Even animals come under a 'govt ministry'. Does this mean animals need to have a 'state'? of course not, their still animals and can behave like one. We create 'zoos and reservation parks' for them and environmental ministers manage it based on their mandate.
The exact same can be done with GM managed as a recognized tribal reserve that falls under the 'treaty of tribal reserves'. Now essentially it's like an 'open air zoo' their not 'caged' in zoos but more similar to 'reserve parks'. They will live exactly how they lived 'stateless' but told to honor the treaty and if they have 'state' matter concern, they need to the 'environmental minister' assigned to animals, plants, trees, and yes you guessed it 'tribal reserve' areas. They are essentially no different to the wild-life that surrounds them, they exist in the same capacity.
I mean look at that 'dancing sufi' 'shakir' no offence he doesn't have an administration, parliament, he doesn't collect taxes, he doesn't provide basic services, he doesn't have a 'policy institute', he doesn't have a firm political view towards Somalia accept he is 'anti shabab'.
Shabab isn't a state actor their non state actors just like ahlul sunnah, it's like 1 gang saying I am opposed to another gang, that's all his polices are and then they revert back to 'sufi songs' on TV, knowing full well he is state less so why not accept a 'treaty' and save yourself the time, lives, and money into becoming a government. U will be better
managed under the SFG minister of environment and u can continue doing your sufi dances and songs on TV, then PL/JL iyo inta 'dawladnimo' leh will have a state to state relationship with the Federal govt.
They accepted to join the modern world, if you haven't, it's up to you but you need to fall under some sort of treatise nothing in the nation is allowed to exist in a 'vacuum' not even animals. So I agree my views may sound 'kaftan' or 'wild', but I dare you propose it in any Somali setting if a 'galmudug reserve' is a viable solution so the rest of the nation can move on iyaguna way naga nabad heli karan. It's a win win for all.
