Honestly if you remove that it is Madoobe and Fartaag now, what is going on is judt perfect. This is Jubbaland as I have always visualized it. Now there is international, national, and local legitimacy abiut WHAT Jubbaland is.
It is a beautiful thing personal for me.
Now granted 100% as a fact that a Sade will become president next even in Madoobe's admin snd Sade will only cement their base as the most important group in the state, I still cannot accept that a Sade is not president now.
So both sides are doing their job. Legitimize the CONCEPT of Jubbaland as we all view and Madoobe's issue will be taken care of by Barre Hiiraale not Hassan Sheikh.
Ok. from what they are reporting, ethiopia is now pressuring on the madobe side to accept changing that name...so that point wont stick in the next meeting.
Local governors are still big issue.
Sheikh madobe side have agreed on an interim administration of two years, letting the army issues for the govt. The rest are unsure
They may suspend the talks but ethiopia has told them not to go anywhere before reaching agreement however the todays meeting looks to be the last with no agreement on these points.
