Political leadership should be given to langaabs.

Somalis are a complexed people. We are of the same ethnicity, speak the same language, have the same religion and culture but we are divided like we have nothing in common. And the guilty ones are the BIG THREE. Darood, Issaq and Hawiye. These three have caused so much problems for themselves and others. Now don't get me wrong, Dir, DM etc are not innocent, they too are involved in the mess Somalis find themselves. But let's be honest they are only involved in wrongdoing due to following commands by the BIG THREE to save themselves. Now let us examine what the BIG THREE want and hope to gain:
Darood: Federalism. It's a no brainer. It's fact that they have the largest land, in Somalia and outside. Puntland itself (even if it is a desert) is 1/3 of Somalia. Now add Jubbaland (88,000 sq km), 1/2 of Sanaag, 2/3 of Sool and Ayn (if Khaatumo forms) to the mix, then you have THREE Darood federal states that would account for 2/3 of Somalia landmass. I'll leave you to work out what the positives and advantages of this is for Darood.
Hawiye: Centralism. The whole purpose of the 91 war, from Hawiye view, was to completely end Darood political leadership and power in Somalia. They succeeded in ending the Darood government and instead of then taking control of those institutions and using it to their advantage, they proceeded to fight amongst themselves to this day. Fortunately for them Mogadishu was and still is the capital. If Somalia was under Centralism has they wish it to be; Hawiye will still be the political leaders, international aid will be directed to them, foreign investment in Somalia will only be in their lands, keep hold of stolen properties all over the country and Aideed and co. dream of Hawiye led Somalia can be.
Issaq: Separatism. Split Somalia in two. Now yes indeed "Somaliland" and Somalia were ruled as separate entities by the British and Italians respectively, yes "Somaliland" got it's independece first (for 5 days c'mon) but it then opted to join Konfoor when they got independece. And then theres the issue of the MSB regime. Yes indeed, what the regime did in Hargiesa was terrible and should be condemned, but it should not be used as a tool for a dream of independence. Also Issaq was not the only clan to feel the wrath of the regime. We all know what happened to Mjs when they tried to overthrow MSB. But the people of Puntland don't call for independence, a lot of MJs have respect for the guy (myself included), they don't cry about that Issaq guy who was put in charge of the punishment that came upon them. Hell i don't even know his name. But we then have MJ Morgan Nicknamed "Butcher of Hargeisa"? the positives of a Somaliland for Issaq: There own country, a country where they are the majority instead of minority, no Darood ruling over them but them ruling over Darood.
It is with these reasons that Somalia finds it so hard to wake up. So ironic considering it's national anthem. So that's why i propose we give all the political and military power to minority tribes. I nominate Dir. All the BIG THREE have some connection with this clan. And history proves that langaabs, once in power turn that nation into something great. Alexander The Great (Macedonian), Umar Ibn Khattab RA (from small Banu Adiy), Napoleon Bonaparte (Corsican), Hitler (Austrian) and Stalin (Georgian).
