I have noticed that many Somalis are blind unionists. These people have all one common characteristic, which is to ignore the reality that exits.
First of all, we have to question, if union is always the solution for every problem ? Many Somalis use as an example Germany. It might be true that the German union in 1871 made them the strongest power in the world at that time. But what was the key for this union ? Before the German union, Germany existed as a confederation of Federal States (actually kingdoms). The two strongest States were Preußen and Austria-Ungarn and they were always competing with each other. The Bundeskanzler of Preußen Otto von Bismarck understood very quickly that there is no hope for a united Germany with both States, because of their rivalry. So what did he do ? He and his State Preußen provoked Austria and invaded it in a war. After the victory of Preußen over Austria Ungarn, Bismarck put the famous condition on Austria, that they are not allowed to join the new German country in the coming union. But he made clear Austria-Ungarn will be Germanys little brother and in both world wars they fought side on side. Bismarck is not a hero because of the German union. He is a hero because he managed to create a united Germany under a Hegemony of his state Preußen and he managed to keep Austria-Ungarn as loyal little brother. This is what you expect from a wise politician. So he analysed the situation and made the best of it.
What is the situation of Somalia today ? Somalia is mainly divided into three parts. The first part is Somaliland in the North, which has developed in the last 30 years every condition to become a country, but they are still not recognized. There is no hope that Somaliland comes back, the people and politicians are very strong in their cause. The second part is Puntland, a state, which want to be Part of a Federal system and has progressed the last 20 years with peace and statehood. Puntland will never accept a central state, because of what happened in the Mudug massacre. The third part of the country is lawless, unfortunately because of many years of wars. No where is anything near statehood and i refuse to call the other 4 states as states because they are actually not. The south has many thousands of foreign soldiers, terrorists and no structures at all. They south is not suitable for a federal system, because of the clan diversity and actually most southerners don't believe in Federalism, the most prominent one is The admin of Xamar, who spits on this law constantly. You see how much problems the Puntland has with the FGS since 2012. This status quo made it possible that we (all of us !!) are today the dogs and puppets of Arabs, Kenyans, Ethiopians.
In my humble opinion these fake unionists people are the real curse of Somalia. They never talk about what is reality in Somalia, but about their wishes and dreams. They always try to belittle Somaliland and Puntland and every community wich wanna destiny its own fate and they play down the actual problems we face. Some of them even wanna convince us that Farmaajo for example, who rules one street with foreign help, has developed the country so much that he needs another few years more to solve all our problems. They are not interested in facts and that every year the situation is getting worse and worse and the country is splitted mote than ever. Everyone else who tries to actually analyse the situation and looks for a solution for his community is a Somalidiid, Qarandumis, Qabyalist and many more. With Fake unionists i am not talking about certain tribes. You have Isaaq, Hawiye, Darood, Raxanweyn, Dir and every community, who are of them.
I have one question to yall. If you were asked to create a master plan for Somalia to solve our problems, like Otto von Bismarck did for Germany, what would be your plan ?
