The E.U is the classic example people point to strong states and weak central authority(brussels). I mean what are the duties of Brussels beyond 'euro currency' which doesn't effect all member states of the E.U. They also provide no borders for the free movement of it's member states trade or people. Their people can settle in any E.U country and become an automatic resident, enjoy the same privileges of locals in terms of health-care, work rights, and social services. I think this is far more realistic for Somalia.
We always argue can a southerner move to PL, well under a confederation, not only can he move to PL, he can work there, enjoy public services like any puntite, he can work, and they're will be no restriction of business or people movement on our roads, seas, or air. Isn't this all Somalis want at the end of the day, to feel at home in any region and enjoy certain rights? well the E.U confederation option will achieve this for us. Support it.
They're is calls for it now after realizing Federalism has failed to get anywhere. We spent 2004-2019 which is 15 years in a vicious dead-lock with Mogadishu government about duties and responsibilities, lack of judicial courts working, constant disagreements and political instability. This is harming our social cohesion as Somalis, why? We consider each other enemies. So an E.U model may actually make us love one and another when we have our own separate govt that is independent, separate army, separate police, separate courts, separate layers of government and parliament, separate foreign relationship.
Yes BOO WOOOO, Puntland or Hirshabelle or any member state will be able to sign they're own 'bilateral' deals on all aspects be it military, business, education, oils and minerals, etc. Yes this means you will see PL/JL/HS/GM/SWS meeting with world leaders about they're state matters on all aspects. They're will be no duty delegated to Mogadishu, by removing any duties from Mogadishu this will ensure we cease to conflict and everyone does they're own thing.
We can even make this arrangement be it '20 year' confederation pact between Somali states to get they're houses in order without any interference or debates from other regions. Once each house is in order and at the same level, we can slowly move towards 'federalism' by enpowering Mogadishu with duties and responsibilities, but this time, every state will be enpowered and have something, they're will be no more centralist lovers, everyone will be federalist lover. Your federalist lover mainly because your state has done something and you have something and you don't want to lose it to the 'central authority'. So for federalism to succeed we need to ensure the REGIONS first become stakeholders and they're regions are empowered, secure, governance, law and order, and yearly progress is occurring. As long the regions are not progressing, wallahi it will be hard for them to defend federalism since the locals feel they got nothing from it but been worse of.
Come in all centralists, federalist, and EU model supporters of Somalia. Lets have this frank discussion, or the other option is 15 more years of futile in-fighting between regional states and Mogadishu. Over what? OUR DAMN RELATIONSHIP, nothing else.
