"Rodo sua'aasha SSC aad iga waydisay way igu adagtahay, kama jawaabi karo"
Farmaajo.
Farmajo gave a perfectly legitimate answer which Reer SSC themselves all expressed recognition.
The only people who ever bring that up are the people opposed to SSC because it is manipulation.
Farmajo was President of Somalia, particularly pre-Las Anod development.
The system we agreed to underpinning reestablishment of a recognized Federal Government specifically unempowers him from "compelling" a decision of his own from Villa Somalia.
Somaliland is a complicated issue which persists through every single administration and president we have had since civil war---BECAUSE it is not a decision that can be effectuated by a "single" side.
Neither can Somaliland legitimately separate herself from Somalia regardless of whatever unitary declaration from Hargeisa thus far and neither can Somalia legitimately incorporate it back to Somalia regardless of whatever Mogadishu says or does.
So Somaliland has its own "representation" in Hargeisa unrecognized by Somalia and Somalia has its own "Somaliland representation" (of all clans Isaaq, Gudabiirsi, Harti, even Ciise) in Mogadishu unrecognized by Somaliland.
This is an issue that can only be resolved "mutually" by all accounts apparent now to everyone including both sides given their participation in multiple attempts at "talks" thus far.
This is further complicated by Federalism as the system of government which is what a President of Somalia presides over (his basic authority) & the presence of Puntland as a constituent and even founding federal member state "claiming" and even having "administered" Laas Caanood during Abdullahi Yusuf.
And even more, SSC elders and community have been implicated in both substantiations of Somaliland and Puntland claims over Las Caanood. For example, the highest traditional Garadship particpation in Shirka Boorama that built Somaliland as well the Garowe Conference that built Puntland.
Similarly the aspirations of SSC during Farmaajo were publicly still held imprisoned by monopolization of representation by political entities such as Xaabsade and Xaglatoosiye for example who had a history of switching sides.
All of this is SSC before "Las Anod" development.
That was the "fall of Berlin wall" moment which is what makes SSC a pre and post-Las Anod uprising.
Farmajo's answer was the answer of someone who cared but had no power of authority to do what was beyond his control.
Someone who cares is not gimmicky, cheap, and fake with you. People who care are real and honest with each other.
Farmajo's concern and care for SSC can substantively be judged from the fact it was the first time Federal appropriation to SSC was not wired through Garowe or even expressed in deference to Hargeisa. The public works like roads rehabilitated and social services established from Buuhoodle to Badhan speak for themselves.
Finally, the young woman who asked the question herself publicly stated his answer satisfied her and even sobered her to the reality facing SSC which said the "trigger" for a change of status for SSC could only really be pulled by Rer SSC first.
The womb must trigger "labor" before birth.
They pulled that trigger in January of 2023.
It was called Las Anod uprising.
