All these Somali unionist never answer the one bone crunching point by federalist/confederationists/Seccessionists. Untill they answer this, I suggest they stop going around calling for Somali govt support. The argument is simple.
GO FIX YOUR HOUSE
I even boldened it out so you can't miss it. This argument point has never been answered by the unionist. They side-step it by saying all Somali is shit hole and so forth, but they never answer the actual point that they're HOUSE is in disarray. If someone kept telling me to fix my house, I would leave them alone and go actually FIX the house itself. I wouldn't sit there promoting farmaajo, attacking madoobe, deni, and all these things to hide the fact your HOUSE is in disarray.
The first thing you need to achieve is the following before anyone entertains union or centralism.
1. Reconciliation between your clans in the South. If the south is to diverse to unify into one. Break it down region to region. But true reconciliation must happen between your civilians, elders, politicians, youth, civil society and all key sectors of your region.
2. Law and Order. We want to see a working constitution for your regions, a regional govt, local governments, a parliament, civilian courts, criminal courts, prisons, police, military to defend your region.
3. We want to see your govt deliver basic services like hospital, energy infrastructure, clean water to each home, schools, toilets, sanitation in the streets, infrastructure like airports, roads, ports, etc.
4. We want to see your locals and diaspora investing into your regions. We must see them return to Gedo, Galmudug, hirshabelle and have hope in your people. Waa inay iyagu ku jecladan intadan anigu ii yeerin. They must love you first before you expect to see any LOVEEEEE from me
5. No shabab in your region or any destabilizing political actor.
Once I have seen these basic in all the south, I can honestly start defending the SOUTH and Praising them. Till then 'caydu' waa qasab hadi kale it means I am happy for you to be in this situation. I ain't doing you any favors by promoting you while you remain in this situation. Once you reach those milestones, we can talk about a 'confederation' for the next 20 years. Once the confederation has proven to work. We can loosen it up further to Federalism. If you do not think this route will work, going from zero to hero overnight won't either, it just ends up in NO GOVT. Going from civil war to siyad barre type of govt will just cause another civil war.
