There are three scenarios for Somalia's future, none of them good:
1. Current status quo: Constant qabil infighting, AS attacks, North remains de facto independent, FGS remains little more than an NGO for the current president to enrich himself and his tribe with.
2. AS victory: Ethiopia immediately invades, putting us back in 2006, where the attempt to install a joke of a government. Only possible difference is that the west may not back this new government, considering they are already tired of Somalia right now. Even if Ethiopia doesn't invade, I don't think anyone with morals sees AS strolling in the capital as a win for Somalia.
3. FGS victory over AS: Not only will the FGS most likely not remove their ability to wage insurgency, despite territorial loss, this will only happen if the clans stop fighting each other, the gov pays its soldiers, foreigners don't leave, and the west remains content to pour billions into the NGO known as the FGS. But even if we assume all of this occurs, this doesn't solve the main cancer, which is Qabilism. Clans will still infight with each other, which will always mean the gov will not have control over most of the country, especially Puntland and Somaliland.
