Will the Somali government collapse if the president is assasinated?

[Parailia somalensis]

The central government in Somalia is very weak at the current moment. The central forces are already spread thin and are undertrained. Would the assassination of the president be the final blow to destabilize the nation that has been propped up by the UN for the last 30 years?

it's not like they've done anything relevant for the country anyways.

we are 30 years removed from the war and still haven't accomplished shit.

half the country is still destroyed.

it's still not guaranteed safe for diaspora to visit.

The prime minister would also be assassinated by the deceased's clan because he would be the only one planning a coup. It would go downwards and out of control from there on.

The vice president can become the president if something like that ever happened.
The chances of the president ever getting assasinated is quite low anyways

He will be done for once the rebels get a hold of surface to air missiles or heavy artillery within range of Villa Somalia. His life hangs on a thread.

They could try but Farmaajo and all the ministers are well guarded so theres nothing that can harm him

 

[BetterDaysAhead]

The Somali government, like a building, would require structure first in order for it to collapse

 

[Awdalia Rising]

I think a failed state collapsing is more like a hiccup than a collapse.

Life in Xamar continues if Xaarmaajo becomes Meydmaajo.
I dont know about Beledxaawo though
