Sounds like you are moving away from the MM, but for the wrongs reasons.
This issue with the elections is part of a larger structural problem. It is not about individuals like Guudlaawr or HS VP. I am going to use the Gentlemen's Agreement as an example about individuals or personalities vs government systems. The Agreement was an executive decision, but it is not here now because the executive recognized something else. It is not even about Farmajo, it could have been any other President after Hassan Sheekh and the Gentlemen's Agreement would have the same vulnerability. That is what happens when something exists as part of a structural problem.
It is funny you in point out Fartaag because he is exactly you when you had the Gentlemen's Agreement. He exists outside of structure. He is part of personalities joyriding along for a moment. Tomorrow he will be you and you are today what he will be tomorrow. HS VP is no different than HS President and what will happen in HS is no different to what happened in J/land, SW, GM, and Puntland. No matter how much you try, you cannot will away what we expect. I am sure even HS Parliament List is already written and ready to be read. It is nothing personal against HS even...the FMS was going to corrupt the process. All that happened is instead of all the FMS being the evil system, a heavy intervention took place that turned half of the system to then be used to fight against the nefarious half. That is all. It is not personal against a clan really.
These old men are badly advised. The reason why they are the only elders out of Somalia's 100+ sub-clans to be talking about "beel" is the same reason why MM was so surprised to find their "personalities" so completely nonexistent when election started. This is not about clans or personalities, this is a battle of Systems. HS right now is not HS, it is a mercenary, outfitted to fight against her old partners in crime...the robbers on the run still with the loot.
It is about time you really, truly understood what has really been going on.
