The thruth about Federalism thing in Somalia

[daiman]

Coming to Snet made me to think in more claninst lane. It is unfortunete, but it is true that the more I read what is being said here the more I feel saying things I would not dare to say a felow Somali ( eg, I do not like your lahjeh). That said, my nationalist feeling has not dead all together.

I quote from a Westren Observer on Somalia when she wrote about Somali Federalisms:

{....} teh second vision, espoused by Somalia's neighors (ie Ethiopia and Kenya}, and endorsed by the international community, is a federal vision in which the country would be divided into several clan areas, each exercising considerable autonomy within its own region. This approximates to the de fact gevernanace arrangements that have developed in much of the country, but the troublesome detail of territorial division has not been fully explored. Puntland represent a model for a fuitre federla state in a federal republic....

''opponents of this vision see Fedelarism as a divisive and hark back to a more unitary somali nationalist project. Others articulate a radical new vision ffo an Islamic state in Somali under Sharia Law in which the clan division s of the country would be overcome. Much of the most recent fighting in the country is ostensibly being carried out to achieve this objective. It is a vision that embraces the Somali communities in the neighboring countries and this way provides a thread of continuity with the older pa-somali vision.''

It is my stand that the federalism road is one that would further divide the nation and its people along clan clines. The notion that we could be divided along clan lines and yet have the ability to stand toe to toe with the neighbors we have, is one that is deficient in understanding the politics and history of the region.

Somalia doesnt need federalism because they will miss use it. Somalia needs strong central government with balance and check.

The Decentralized system proposed by HiilQaran is the best way forward for all Somalis and not federalism..
