Thready #98343 on moving Capital away from Mogadishu

[Surplus]

Does anyone know of any real attempts or thoughts from Somali gov officials in past decade about moving the capital way from Mogadishu?
I wonder if that move alone could significantly quell the insurgency (or at least the worst aspects of it), since most of the attacks are against gov civilian officials.
A capital city should not be your most populous and economically important city, such a city should be a place where its quiet and secure and not too densely populated. An inland city like Garowe would be ideal...some place not occupied by a single clan or two....or even some barren town nobody's have heard of will do...

Doesn't need to be anything fancy..just a Villa Somalia and 2 hotels would do...

I don’t see the capital moving anytime soon.

Somalia and Somalis will never get better until Xamar is safe. It is the heartland of Somalia and Somalis all over.

Wherever the capital gets moved to shabaab will follow

The Capital will never change whether you donkeys like it or not. Xamar is the heart, brain and lungs of Somalia

The capital should be moved to baidoa,sanaag or addis ababa , xamar is too precious to be a somali capital . The natives are sick and tired of cuqdad filled terrorists from all over the horn coming to ruin the the lifes of the ordinary reer Muqdashawis .

Addis?

I'm anti xabashi/ethiopia in general bit youd be suprised how many somalis would rather have addis ababa as the capital .
Capital city should be moved to make a way for a strong banadir state .

Addis ababa owns the government, you've been sleeping sxb?
If addis ababa already owns this government it wouldnt hurt to permanently relocate the capital there.
