Amisom relies on hiraab national army HNA checkpoints all the way to baraawe and hiiraan. If these troops evacuate their positions Amisom will be on danger so they are gonna impose solution. Abgaal army have evacuated their positions on jowhar airport. There is a possibility of warsangali/harti abgaal militia controlling jowhar and waare may move to baladweyne....some chaos is taking place now in jowhar but as hirshabelle fellow i dont care because we all know is jowhar is back garden of xamar so what's going in xamar will impact on it so let them be banaadir state and we gonna be hiiraan state until winds settle. Waare stays in xamar anyways. We and abgaal are not mixed at all except the name we have our plans and policies for hiiraan and leave theirs for them and all the UN agencies are based in baladweyne.
Farmaajo may try to appoint yarisow who's a
wacbuudhan or thaabit who's waceysle but hes under the control of murursade who are threatening to kill him if atleast they didnt pick who succeeds kheyre. They are also telling him every thing is alright and should leave kheyre to deal with situation.

I think it is too late for the south now.
Anyone seen the Day After Tomorrow, where Jack Hall(Denis Quaid) draws a line on the US map and says, "evacuate anyone south of this line" The Veep looks at him and says what about the people on the North,. Jack looks at him and says, "too late for them"
I really think it matters little what Hiraab does or doesn't. There is 95% chance that south will sink. The new defensive line will have to be drawn in Baladwenye all the way to cost of Harardheere. South of Baledweyne will be lost to Islamists, North of Baledwenye can be defended if Habargidir wakes up and starts to think strategically.
Survival and consolidation
I think it is time that GM state(Habargidir) and Somaliland(Isaaq) should actively cooperate to fortify this line. Within a few years this line of thinking will be mainstream in both groups. GM state has always acted as a strategic buffer for Somaliland and a defensive umbrella for Hawiye subclans. I think this type of arrangement has served its purposes. Alshabaab and other Islamist groups will gradually overrun the south and consolidate their grip on south of Baledweyne to Raskamboni. GM state, Somaliland will have zero choice but to develop a single security strategy to keep that line intact. Unless I am giving too much credit to the collective intelligence of the duo. I think the Sacads always sense danger from afar, but I could be wrong about this generation.
New Somalia (Geography, religious, political and historical identity would be a crucial factor. )
South of Baledweyne(Wahabi Somalia)
North of Baledweyne (Free Somalia). I think the Saudis and free world would have to throw their lot on this side.
Anyone who thinks this is far-fetched scenario would only need to examine two developments.
1. None of the sub-clans in the South have had a genuine control over their territories for the past 30 years. This starts early in 1990s and continues until the present. Look at the level of dysfunctionality and lack regional political identity(a prime example would be Marehans.) Save Somalia when their region is literally infested with Alshabaab and African Union). Mudulloods have had 8 years of their own president and could not create a regional political identity of their own. If Southern clans could not do what needed to be done in peaceful and opportune time how can we expect them to do under constant alshabaab threat.
The opposite picture emerges if you look at the political identity and the level organization on the sub-clans that live north of Baledweyn.
This starts with Somaliland in 1991, few years later Puntland, then 2004 GM state. More importantly there is a strong local political and religious identity that makes it harder for an outsider to impose his wahabi crap.
2. In terms of pure power politics you have a delusional Haraadigii Bare character who thinks he can restore the lost days of "Barre civilization"

. Next, you have the usual local opposition groups that have 90% of the economy, 90% population and who will always smell Barre's mouth from Afgooye.

In the meantime you have the foreign people, the ones that drove their anti terror state apparatus on the back of Ethiopian tanks into Mogadishu, watching and waiting for democratic and united Somalia to miraculously take shape.
---
Final thought,
- Somalia would break up into two ideologically opposed camps, with Baledweyne being the dividing line. Think of North and South Korea.
- Hawadle needs to join GM state to survive.
- The sooner GM state and Somaliland start making plans for survival contingency the better.
- GM state business groups should make plans to move their investment away from the south. Population would have to follow.
- This would eventually mean the break up of Hawiye sub-clan alliance, one that started with United Somali Congress.
What about Puntland?
This state could go both ways. Strategically their interest perfect aligns with GM state and Somaliland. The question is can they put aside useless clan emotions(Darodism) and make hard decisions to survive. History shows they will not, but the younger generations could be different.
Lenin used to say the reward for political stupidity is death. This is certainly true for the South, one half of Somalia is gone. Will the other half make better decisions. We will know soon.

[/quote] lol I cant tell your identity (yaa tahay kkk) but I dont get your point of SL and Galmudug this SNM-USC discourse has gone with the 90s today SL benefits the most in distablyzing xamar because there is no other reason to get ictiraaf. There is slogan is being stable and different than koonfur and having different colonial history not because we r different people so the long the crisis continue in the south the more ictraaf argument continues. I have mentioned my thread on SL chances getting benefiting from the current pro al shabab situation. Infact PL is closer to GLM than SL bc PL defends federalism but SL wants one authority in koonfur to look different then federal state. I mentioned this factor as well. I dont want change to topic into confrontations with landers just giving you my point.
Another thing is the new alliance between Dir of ethiopia and SL and you got southern dir issue with HG. Executive committee of the ruling part in the somali region 4 were given to dir and 4 one was isaaq,one iise. 4 darod all absame 1 hawiye degodia:somali region has become 50/50 absame and dir.
About your point about hiiraan joining Galmudug we like security cooperation but as state no. Reason is xamar masesed up is mixing too much specially we have greener land. HG cayr have benefited from having a long hawadle wall from maxaas next to ceelbuur to matabaan. Hiiraan is the most safest region after galmudug it's not like the south at all. Al shabaab controlled hiiraan in 2010. We had pro TFG admin from jalalaqsi to baladweyne without amisom presence from November 2008 to September 2009 un then a period acting as hisbul islam till 2010. 140km east of baladweyne, 70km north of baladweyne till matabaan. The river side till feerfeer 45 mm all free no amisom except one base in the town mustahil not the district even we use jidcad roads for halgan and buuloburde bc al shabaab fears our macawisleey an armed nomads.
See this September 2009 all koonfur was sea of al shabaab back then and TzfG were only controlling maka street
