For the past thousands of years, not a single Somali clan managed to dominate the rest. Even to this day, none has managed to tip the scales and establish hegemony over the rest of Somalia. Why?
Historically speaking, places like Arabia, India, Germany, Mongolia and Japan and more were politically fractured or very tribalistic until one group succeeded in uniting the rest either via warfare or political arrangements. Even in countries that never managed to establish a single national entity like Ireland still had clans that claimed the title of high king of Ireland. Even the Habesha used to be clannish until a dynasty united most of them.
Either there was an equilibrium in power and resources among all the clans that somehow lasted thousands of years or there was simply no interest to rule over all which is doubtful given how competitive the clans are.
