The two Shabelle provinces should join. That would give us two Hawiye states. I've heard rumors of Shabelle joining but doesnt seem true.
I honestly don't believe Hawiye give a damn. They look like they prefer to be under central rule. I think this would be best. Central government can be able to let the aid money and the federal funds trickle down to the central regions and there could be some development. While other regions want to ignore the central government, the central government would have no option but to only allow the central regions develop as the Turks are here, as the western world have come to help us.
Zizzz is right. The man who wanted federalism and pushed for it knew exactly what he was doing. But he failed. Federalism doesn't mean anything for Hawiye. Majority of Hawiye live in Muqdisho. Looks like Hiiraan is going to be established as a federal state and if not, it doesn't matter. Let is all go under central rule. Central rule is better than federalism for Hawiye. Considering the circumstances, it is better. Autonomy doesn't make sense for Hawiye. For Darod it does but not Hawiye. Hawiye have no one to run from. Their rights are always secured. Why have autonomy when they are the government? They will always be the government. The government is in their town. They have Muqdisho, it is their base.
This makes sense since Hawiye is the government it doesnt matter for them to create states, hawiye has it good as long as the capital remains Mogadishu and i am certain there is no city in Somalia that can compete with xamar when it comes to size and history and population.
Hasssan sheikh the other day said the goverment will be from mudug to the kenyan border
Muqdisho is more than 2.5 million. No city in Somalia can compete with it economically. It will forever be the economic center of Somalis. 20+ years of civil war in Muqdisho and no one has come even half close. Imagine now during the peace? Hawiye have it very good. Their future looks amazing. Let the peace continue and Hawiye and Muqdisho will only get stronger.
It is in Hawiye's benefit for federalism to be pushed. International development will only reach Xamar. Whatever the international community gives the government, it will only reach Xamar, aka Hawiye. Those autonomous states are running away. This is great news. Let them run away.
As for Jubbaland, it won't form anytime soon. Al Shabab controls half of it, with them controlling 100% of Middle Juba. But I hope and pray they merge soon. I pray for Jubbaland forming more than the Jubbalanders themselves.
