As you know, this clan recently lost the Puntland Presidency to their reer Bari brethren but if they smart and think real politik, they can redeem themselves very easily. Here are 5 simple reasons.
1. Joining Galmudug will give them seats in two regional states to cement themselves as the leading MJ subclan in Somalia.
2. It will save them the money, manpower, time and investment of defending Puntland against Jeegaan and Isis.
3. Reer Galmudug will respect their Tanaasul and they would be rewarded with Vice Presidency instead of the useless landlocked Marehan. We may even go further and give them back Gaalkacyo as it was their original homeland many years ago.
4. It will clear the friction of federalism since the question mark over Mudug has loomed for years. Galmudug can focus solely on development.
5. It will give Garacad Port more precedence over Hobyo and open the market to customers from southern regions.
Since the Mj's love federalism so much, they should prove it. You will always make a sacrifice for something you love and value.
Who knows, if they succeed and re-invent themselves as Somalis willing to work with their enemies, they can win the Presidency in Muqdisho one day.
