My preferred federal model:
A Cooperative Federal System of 18 regions (pre 1991 but Benadir becomes part of Middle Shabelle and Mudug is split into two) whereby the centre and the regions can both legislate on all areas simultaneously via a concurrent list but the centre has exclusive control over some issues namely defence, foreign affairs and currency/fiscal/monetary policy. Also each region will have a two-headed executive in that the Governor is appointed/dismissed by the centre and the First Minister/Premier is elected by the regional legislature (like Australia, Canada and India). Mogadishu to be the Capital and the diplomatic/political HQ while Hargeisa is the deputy Capital and the economic/financial HQ (central bank, stock exchange)
