Ismacil Cumar Geele has all the characteristics of a monarch. He knows everything that goes in the country , he interferes in everything , just like Riyaale and Caadde Muse do .
The only diffrence is he's got more $ to spread amongst a smaller number of people than the other 2.
Djiboutians never experienced war , so simply put , waa dad ka degan somalida kale .{ most of them live in Djibouti city , the failed afar guerilla never made it passed the norther cities}.
CY or anybody else for that matter cannot duplicate that in Somalia.
Somalia has to be cut into small governable pieces , highly decentralized, where the President , just like in Switzerland , would be a "primus inter pares" .
I agree however the thing is, even if you have small governable pieces or even states like Puntland, the leaders will want to be their own mini-dictator and hoard everything.
Emperior, thats the format right now, just reversed.
You have elements in Somalia that want to keep the status quo of isbaaro and shid like that because they have gotten used to it over the last 18 years and have profited off it, the culture for governance is impossible in Somalia, IMO
