Silanyos biggest obsticle to being a president is HY vengefullnes and HA amnesia.....[/quote]
General there are more important factors then above. One of the purpose of the Garadag conference was infact to cement HJ solidarity and to unite the different political wings of the clan. One of the great achievement of the conference being the ending of the destructive rivalry of Salebaan and Silanyo. HJ was almost lost and the garadag conference was its saving grace.
The question is what other clan can accomplish this kind of conference, what clan can subject its politicians to their authority in this manner. Most clans exist only in name, HJ continues to have live... and just imagine I thought it was dead only few months ago.
Emperor:
Egal at the borama conference said the words you mentioned because he had a sacad muuse rival cumar carte and he wanted to stress that he had the HA elders support. None of the HJ political heavy weights were running at that time and certainly there were easily 5 or 6 that could easily defeat Egal and Carte who had nothing to do with the former snm struggle,Its HJ that gave Egal the helm, because there needed to be change from Tuur incompetent presidency, HJ felt it was HA turn and Egal was the right candidate to move the country closer to recognition. Its only HJ that could bring together the alliances of isse, samaron and harti and build consensus among the isaqs in such manner for any candidate to have won. HY knows this and hence they are angry with HJ.
Today we are no longer selecting leaders but electing them, that technically means members of one clan could rule for the next 100 years so long as they win elections. If the rest of isaq population does not mind a harti or gadabursi ruling them I dont think you will find HJ objecting either simply on the basis of clan. What is unacceptable to most HJ, many among other isaq clans is the current ruling former nss gang, who are clearly emptying the countries coffers and driving it to destruction. I dont think Somaliland has any choice but change, anything less will meet with a veto and could hav i dire consequence. Lucky for Somaliland there is almost no way Kulmiye could loose this time, even ku xumee politics of some clans which is less prominent this time will not have the same effect against post-garadag kulmiye.
FYI, kulmiye has officially staked a claim on a large junk of the gadabursi pie and vote, Zaylici has strong financial and popular backing in awdal
