However, those who are skeptical about the government’s search for rearming itself posit the following existential arguments:

•The current forces which the government wants to arm are not a volunteer-based national army, but simply a rag-tag clan militia, whose commanders could unleash atrocities again, this time under the rubric of “war on terror.”
•There is a genuine fear that Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, a president who is not committed to federalism, may use new weapons purchased in the open markets to sabotage the emerging bottom up governance which the residents of Jubbaland/Kismayo had so carefully organized.
•Puntland, one of the most stable regions in the country and a region governed from within for the last 14 years as well as a cosigner of Garowo 1 and Garowo 2 accords, decisive agreements leading to the adoption of the Somali Federal Constitution on August 22, 2012, opposes the lifting of the arms embargo and has reportedly forwarded its concerns to the UN General Secretary Bani K-moon.
•Somaliland, the oldest and safest region in the entire country, also opposes the lifting of arms embargo mainly because it views southern Somalia as being less stable and a dangerous group to arm.
•The emergent region of Khatumo state, which is deadlocked in a bloody political and military conflict with Somaliland authorities, is also apprehensive of arms pouring into the region at this juncture.
•Somalia’s indigent groups (Woman groups, the youth, journalists and most of the country’s civil societies) are opposed to the rush to rearm Somalia.

its simple, there are more darood majority regions than hawiye majority regions of the 18 pre-1991 regions and that federalism would shrink the hawiye's only bargaining power (xamar) down in terms of status - xamar not being a primate city anymore would make them basically as equal to at least 5 other cities in a federal system

if culusow is against federalism then we will impeach him based on the somali constitution and puntland and jubbaland will no longer recognize him as the president of somalia but as the president of abgaal and the mayor of mogadishu.

compromise is needed - centralised federalism is required of 18 separate regions and mog/hrg as two fed cities if the union is to be resurrected. every region to have limited sovereignty and direct democracy

somali elders have agreed on the somali constitution which includes your Dir elders. this president cannot be bigger then the constitution and must follow the rules. otherwise lets go our separate ways.

culusow has no other choice then to accept jubbaland. now a person who calls himself "superlander" is asking me if i was not darood i would support centralisation. whay about you, you hypocrite who supports complete segregation
