What do you think compatriots? Isnt this true federalism at work here

[GAMES]

Where did u get this from?

[Strategic]

Airports including military airports and seaports;
i think this should come under federal system.

[MaydhMax]

Where did u get this from?

I compiled this myself, using the kenyan constitution as a template

is this a fair balance you think

[Halmog]

Nah, too much federal gov control

Yea it looks good. I heard the Somali constitution is somewhere on the Internet (in English), but i haven't gotten around to reading it.

[MaydhMax]

Nah, too much federal gov control

no its not , its the minimum amount a central government should have to be relevant otherwise we'll pass from true federalism into outright balkanization

puntland should allow the federal authorities much greater control - you don't want to be isolated like somaliland

games

you can go to the constitute project website

[Django]

War there is nothing Federal about Somalia.
You have sectors each ran by African Missions.

[Talo alle udaa]

The somali tribes have always behaved as independent nations
having federal system is the closest thing we have to forming a functioning country.

[GAMES]

I agree, federalism is the best way to go, but it needs alot of work.

The federalism we have is based on Qabiil. We need to move away from that, and into something similar to what the US has.

18 states (or Gobolo) based on population, just like the US.

I am sure its gonna take a while, but thats where i see things going in the next decade or so.

puntland will always be like zanzibar in Tanzania but even with greater autonomy... unless somalia is declared a kingdom with the seat of the kingdom in qardho..

[CaliQase]

[AbkoowDhiblaawe]

puntland will always be like zanzibar in Tanzania but even with greater autonomy... unless somalia is declared a kingdom with the seat of the kingdom in qardho..

Why not go as far as becoming a own country?
I am sure 99% of the somalis would want that.
