your analysis would have been great if you didn't involve this with somaliland also its not right to call us ex italia, we are a country and an independent republic!It seems like IGAD is the main obstacle. Less influence from neighboring countries would be beneficial for your government. Just like SL they shouldn't let neighboring countries interefere politically and the only way to do that is to abolish (clan) Federalism. Former Somalia Italiana has to be ruled from Xamar but as a decentralized state. The next step would be building strong institutions and the military. Some people (Darood) are saying majority of the soldiers are from one clan, so be it, majority of SL soldiers are Isaaq. The importance however is their loyalty and the only way to achieve loyalty is by paying their salaries. Approximately 55-60% of SL tax revenues and port revenues goes to the military and not even new equipment but basic necessities and their salaries. If the government of Somalia can implement these strategies, they wouldn't be in this situation and Al Shabaab wouldn't gain support from different segments of the society, including nationalists who believe the country is occupied.
Lol dissolved? Who can dissolve it when its writen on our UNITED NATIONS seat?? Don't you know the FSG was given by the UN the control of every thing that the somali republic had?When I'm using the term former Somalia Italiana, I mean Raas Caseyr to Raas Kaambooni because that is Somalia. The Somali republic (Somaliland+Somalia) dissolved in 1991.
There's no political pressure or political interference from Ethiopia when it comes to Somaliland but unfortunately since we're not internationally recognized, Ethiopia uses the status quo for economic benefits hence the economical influence they have in SL.
You're right I shouldn't involve SL since it's a seperate country but I sincerely believe the only way for Somalia to stand on its legs is by abolishing Federalism. That's the first step.


Ok. Hope you avoid next time the other places and stick to the places the topic is about like this one; IGAD vs the somali govt. very simple.
