Can it happen? Maybe, but is it likely?
So far, no Somali administration has really tried to make amends. SL currently control about one-third of Somalia. Why would they give that up just to be a third rang player in the power struggles between Hawiye and Darood? Relying on military force won't work; it would lead to too much bloodshed and renewed hatred.
For reunification to be possible, there needs to be some kind of incentive, either economic or military, and guarantees that the dictaroship of the Barre era won't happen again. But realistically, this can only happen once Somalia itself is stable and flourishing.
Another option could be a friendly breakup. Regions of Somaliland wanting to rejoin can choose to do so, with a peaceful border and an economic agreement promoting cooperation and shared laws. Pretty much a Somali-EU.
