In any case, it is very short term thinking. Clanism is no way to build a modern state. I can't think of one prosperous and advanced country which still has a clan structure (discounting the obvious anomaly of the Gulf Arabs who hit the oil lottery). Do you think you can break the mould?

Tribal grouping is one of the most primitive forms of social organisation . You have to move beyond that.

I think it's a good thing that Southerners are less tribalistic because that means they are more open to ideology rather than base instincts. Hence why Shabab took root...and a Lander was leading it. And why people demonstrated and rioted for Farmaajo. They don't care as long as they agree with you. In the future, they would vote on policy and ideas as opposed to pure qabyaalad. Parties in SL will probably be linked to certain clans.

The yusuf I have heard that idea many times before, but isn't the same clan system turning Somaliland into habar vs habar.

And same with puntland!!!!!

Have you seen habar habar qarxinaysa? its all about freedom of expression. iidoorka iyo majertenku waa faataa bakh miidhan. The number one priority in Mogadishu today is Amni 'Security' and that is not going to happen without a mobilising qabiils for good. The less mobilised qabiils and minorities are the most vulnerable for Alshabaab recruitments today.

I hate those who criticise qabiils without bring better alternative. The coward Tarzan was hostage for Amisom in his own home when he was the mayor. I have more respect a man protected by his own subclan like gaas than a fufu protected donkey criticising qabyaalad like he is thinking out of the box. We are Somalis we should accept qabiils and qabyaalad and use it to solve our problems. Its simple recruitment system that you can use it for good and bad.
