at me talking about clan vs clan yet your here to insert your clan authority in Galmudug kkkkkk
This is why I said your pea sized brain is full of reer Baadiye meanderings.
Did I support a Marehan tribal group in Galmudug? Did I even argue for a Marehan president in Galmudug?
WHERE have I tried to insert my clan authority?
The issue with Galmudug is exactly why I believe the Kismaayo conference has a right to go on.
I believe in FEDERALISM.
I support the Federal Government when it is right and I support the right of Federal States to control their domestic affairs.
Xaaf came and tried to INTERFERE IN FOREIGN AFFAIRS. He tried to undermine the constitution by acting independently on a sensitive foreign matter like he is equal to the federal government.
Your emotions and anger at the government aside, can you not see how dangerous this is???
No Federal State should EVER speak independently on foreign or defense matters. That is 200% the role of the Federal Government.
I never had a problem with Xaaf before and did not take sides with the Abdikarim Guuleed thing because that was private.
My issue here is about principle. I live in the greatest Federal nation on earth---the USA. I have learned from history about how mistakes that weren't corrected early in the country's history are the cause of great arguments between American States and the Feds even today.
Imagine these people who are more educated, reer magaal, and civil are still wrestling with these issues. Why should Somalia not self-correct early??
For this same reason, I support the right of Federal States to push back against the government in DOMESTIC matters. They need a debate about local interference, tax collection and sharing, economy, etc.
I support their right to meet and stake out their authority on these issues against a powerful federal government. Farmaajo nor any Federal President needs to host them.
They have to be intellectually at war for us to have a great Federal system. Look at my state in the US? They sued Trump on Muslim Ban, they named my city a "sanctuary city" (meaning local police will not help the Feds in immigration), etc. This doesn't mean that Trump is weak, it means that the US system of government is strong with CHECKS AND BALANCES.
The only thing missing in Somalia is an independent judiciary. But beyond that I say let the political war between Federal government and Federal states go on---ultimately it will be good for Somalia democracy. The thing is there are red lines not to cross like interfering with the Federal government on FOREIGN RELATIONS.
I will not talk to you about these issues again. You seem emotional and angry for tribal reasons.
