Definately! The customary poweful centerilized government will need to be obliterated it's nothing but a hindrance, changing this structure is the main prerequisite for a lasting peace. War may stop with Xabasha assistance but the conditions that intially triggered the war will return. Instead in it's place we need to develop regional powers who are in complete control of their respective regions. These regions will come together under the frame of a parliament consisting of representives of the regions and an inclusive Islamic court. The president and prime minister should have the least power in this formula.
Each region should devise a sector focused regional infrastructure strategies as a framework for future design and development, these strategies will promote internal investments from within the region. There are a lot of possibilites for economic growth in Somalia, we have a largly untapped natural resouces such as Natural Gas which can be used for commercial, industrial and even residensial applications. Additionally, Uranium, gypsum, coal, and possibly Oil. In regions where surface water is scarce, they could focus on smart strategies to tap into ground water tables without quickly lowering water levels by means of drilling to provide a reliable and ample supply of water for irrigation and home uses.
The only stipulation I think the parliment should impose is the restriction of foriegn investors initially, to allow Somalis to get the biggest piece of the pie so to speak.
