There is a part of me that is seriously hoping they will finally capture the remaining 90% of "Jubbaland" (either in the hands of Al Shabab or in the hands of Somalia Army in Gedo).
Autonomous rule is my dream because the upper hand is with the central government. Kismayo could have easily had as many warlords as Muqdisho but it didn't. Why? Simple: There is nothing to take over other than a dilapidated seaport and a non-functioning airport. It's obvious that Jubbaland's jewel, Kismayo, is nothing more than a glorified shanty town.
If they want to rule scraps, I say we let them. I also don't want HAG money going towards any of their development. They can get it from diaspora hotel meetings. Let em' put their loose change in the charity box. HAG money only for the children of HAG and those who want to be under central rule. No to re-distributing the wealth.
