It is clear that the Republic of Somalia as we knew it is dead. This supposed Federalism also leads to a dead end. So what is the solution? Well first of all the South should forget this nonsense of making States out of non-divisible lands. South Somalia should hold Presidential and Parliament elections through the one man one vote public system, just like Somaliland. They will govern it as an independent Nation. Next stop is to recognize Somaliland, refusing to do so is just not living in reality and present.
From here the two nations can decide if they want to form some sort of a cooperation similar to the European Union. Both nations govern themselves, however they can setup a council with a chairman, which is rotated between the countries. This council can be used to tackle issues such as maybe a single currency, freedom of movement etc.
Furthermore, it leaves the door open to other Somali nations to join, such as Djibouti, Ogaden. And for those dead-set on a Federal system, this form of union can be called the Somali Federation.
What do you think?
