We are unlike any other clan.
We have defeated the secessionist claim to northern Somalia.
The SFG should take this opportunity to destroy the iidoors claims to the entire north of Somalia.
PL are our brothers.......however, Darood need at least 3 federal states.
Iidoors couldn't stop us at Goojacaade......they won't be able to stop us in Xamar.

If you see my recent lonely position in discussions here with other Marehan, you would not be surprised to see me encouraging differently here.
Sxb do you know why Galmudug is so stable in form at odds with the rest of the federal states amd even Federal government despite hardly incubated structure, appendage, service delivery, and even election destablization?
It is not Galmudug itself, it is the inevitable "type" of working relationship her communities were forced to finally come to after the most vicious and debilitatingly hostile clan conflicts since 1991 on a recurrent basis.
The clans there have touched Dante's inferno trying everything existential again each other from ethnic displace to attempted cleansing to subjugation. They have confirmed it has no conclusion or eventual domination but only war of attrition to infinity.
Marehan And Habar Gidir in Galgaduud NEVER mix national issues with regional issues even if both issues concern them.
This is why Mahad Salaad will not become Galmudug president. This is why Galmudug's Marehan reps take ownership on Marehan issue, and all the other clans the same. You cannot have any other Federal or State leader as they exist in all the ofhe admins in Galmudug. In Galmudug, Qoorqoor is deferential to Abdiwayeel the Interior Minister on Marehan issues and Abdiwayeel is deferential to the Dir Minister on Dir issues.
All of this I bring up to say;
You are the neighbor of Isaaq and Somaliland. Never mix your directly implicated issues concerning Isaaq with your nationally implicated issues there in Xamar.
You have Las Anod, you are administering SSC. Isaaq's portion of former British Somaliland and what they do with it or how Somalia should relate to it---I wouldn't even allow myself an opinion. Hadeey FMS noqdaan, that's between them and Somalia, if they push all thr way to independence, that is between them and Somalia.a
For what is strategically in your best interest, be only responsibly for issues directly between you and them as neighbor. You gain nothing from their destruction and even lose.
Dhulbahante going forward should be motivated even starting to repair elite contact between them and Isaaq at the non-state/non-political level so business people, social luminaries.
If your future is India and Pakistan as opposed to US and Canada, you have won a battle, but lost the war.
