I support federalism, I don't support semi autonomous states.

At the end of the day the federal government needs to get the final say

Federalism doesn't work unless there is central government. States can't have equal power over each others otherwise it would result into fighting. Also, there is division. More divisions there is, more likely there is fighting between division. USA learned this lesson, and hope we do not have to learn this. Maybe federalism is good if there is few states, maybe less than 5 preferably 3.

Federalism is the theory or advocacy of federal principles for dividing powers between member units and common institutions. Unlike in a unitary state, sovereignty in federal political orders is non-centralized, often constitutionally, between at least two levels so that units at each level have final authority and can be self governing in some issue area. Citizens thus have political obligations to, or have their rights secured by, two authorities. The division of power between the member unit and center may vary, typically the center has powers regarding defense and foreign policy, but member units may also have international roles.

Federalism won't work in Somalia, it will only become Qabilism. 1 people 1 language 1 religion its simple really: Central government its the only way. This is the only way to become a strong country.

1 people 1 language 1 religion mashallah are all good things to share but, in my opinion central system wont work in somalia. 20 yrs of chaos is all the prove you need. Thanks for your input :up:

The Anarchy is not the fault of the central goverment. In actuality it is because of the absence of the central goverment that Somalia detoriated to this stage.

Central Government creates STRONG unity, where as Federal System will create division and animosity between the different Somali clans, thus we'll forget to compete against our Foreign enemies.

Apparently, the lack of good leadership. For the past 20 years, we've been supporting and putting our trust in warlords and corrupt leaders into putting Somalia back on it's feet.

For instance, I bet you are a staunch supporter of Cabdullahi Yusuf, a well-known Warlord, Mass Murderer, Traitor, Corrupt and a Coward. You would support him blindly and if anyone would be against him, you would forfeit your support for SOMALIA.

It's time we change the Political Dynamics in Somalia. It's time we introduce, well-educated, Politicians, who have ZERO barbaric history. Men and Women who have not committed treason against Somalia, who have not killed thousands in the name of Qabil. That's what Somalia needs and that's the only way we can build a Central Government for Somalia.
