I cant think of a better alternative to Mogadishu to be honest, and i haven't seen major attempts by any factions inside to change the capital permanently. Its true that Mogadishu will always attract the most investments foreign and Somali likewise because the status, size and superior infrastructure. Nevertheless cities such as Hargeisa and Bosaso have recognition unlike before the civil war, they have experienced major investments, now have relatively credible infrastructure and large populations. and are a hub for companies and entrepreneurs.
This is why i think federalism is so important; these cities will not fall behind too much and experience a population shift so long as proportionate development by the local administration is spent. keeping these cities as relatively growing pace with Mogadishu is important.
Somalinet is never boring.
