The long term plan will be to strengthen the already significant population with Ethiopian Dir. Dolow on the Ethiopian side which is more populated is already a Dir town. The Somali side is shared but will be fully consolidated. During the next gov ahmed madoobe will be pressed into giving Dir or a Samaale clan the VP or he’ll be taken out. If he accepts that’s we will liberated jubaland with him and eventually take the state via direct elections.
Welcome. Although it's odd what couldn't be attained by force when force was the method should be entertained now when peace is developing.
Two other thoughts;
1. Ironically, the Somali side by the very nature of its border (it literally was built with Marehan in mind) reflects one group dominance and the other side "everyone else"
-Dolo, Somalia (Marehan) - Dolo Odo, Ethiopia (Everyone else primarily Degoodiye + Marehan now)
-Beled-Xaawo, Somalia (Marehan) - Mandera, Kenya (Everyone else primarily Garre + Marehan now)
2. I actually would love Dir, Degoodiye, Garre, and especially Rahanweyn who do historically have both a material and emotional connection to the land to start moving. I want people to feel free to live and work anywhere they want plus for selfish economic reasons...more people = more opportunities = more capital = more services = more needs = MORE GROWTH
Welcome guys, I hope to hike Humbaale Hills not far from my sub-clan deegaan of Tuulo Barwaaqo with you Samaale and Dir and Rahanweyn folks in the future.
