I get Your point, but this is the same arguement every other regional administration that does not have boots on the ground uses. That You have to have endorsements, administration, etc. in place before any grassroots, local state building is done for the regions they claim to represent. The same thing happens for so called Jubbaland administrations, Somali Central State and so on. I think the first thing these regional administration hopefuls should do before anything is physically secure the land, hold consultative meetings with the elders, tribes, community leaders of these lands and establish a admin. Anything else in my mind is spinning wheels.It's in the formation & consultive stages & their endorsement is crucial first step moving forward.

Somalia has been at war for 21 years now & unilaterally declaring a state & imposing your views on everyone else won't work. The organizers of Banadir State are in Mogadishu & most of them haven't left Mogadishu even at the peak of the civil war. So they understand better than anyone else what's at stake & what needs to be done. At the consultative & formation stage, it's crucial that the political & traditional representatives are taken into confidence & their input incorporated into the decision making process & that's why the endorsement of the MPs is a crucial first step which is what the organizers & steering committee are doing.
About the status of Mogadishu; there are number of creative solutions that are being floated around. My personal favorite is the creation of a new Federal District within Mogadishu which will serve as the seat for the Federal Government. Another one. Is making Mogadishu its own state with its own parliament that's divided into two chambers one representative & the other made up of the traditional leadership of the clans that owns the city with veto power on the running of the city-state. If the intention is sincere, there is no shortage of just solutions.

Pre-91 & post-91, no-one questions the real clan group that owns Mogadishu. When I say "own" I am talking about land-ownership & also demographic, historical & political ownership. Mudulood, Reer Banadir (cad-cad) are legitimate co-owners as are Murusade.-What criteria are you using to establish what clans are owners and what clans are not owners?Somalia has been at war for 21 years now & unilaterally declaring a state & imposing your views on everyone else won't work.

- when you say “own” are you thinking in terms of trust land like Indian reservation in the U.S where The federal government holds legal title and the clans hold beneficial interest as in Common ownership and doesn`t that entitlement make, pre 1991 residence of Mogadishu eligible claimant under “Tenancy in common” since they have land titles which makes them elective under a “common ownership”
Which leads back to how determent and select what clan owns and what clan doesn`t own . Are arabs(xamar cadcad ) viewed as unitary eligible for “ownership”
