Sinister, I try to look past this whole 'qabiliyad' stuff, I like it for what it is when we COMPETE with each other on merit and accomplishment, not who can kill who or which sub-clan controls which gobol/city. My reasoning is this, if Isaaq and Hawiye can get along for the most part, why can't Darood? If Darood can't get along, then let's call it a day and abolish this whole government, you can't have it both ways.
Soft spot? I admit I might have some bias, but that's because they are my actual family (cousins and in-laws), they detest Barre Hiraale and what he did to Harti in Kismayo, I also have OG cousins (moms sister husband) and they have also expressed their frustrations with Madobe and this ongoing charade, people are getting tired of small groups of families with business interests ruining it for everyone else, that goes for all clans.
Majority of Somalis are good people, the problem is that we're hopeless, we got ourselves to blame cause we refuse to put a stop to spoilers both foreign or domestic. Anyways, if you want a abtirsi check hit the dm sxb, I've got nothing to hide.
I accept that you are who you say you are. I don't like to accuse people of being sheegato online. In an ideal world, I would agree with you.
Of course there are a few families with business interests running JL, just like every where else in the world. But do you honestly think failmajo and his ilk are doing everything they can to destabilize JL, work with foreigners and ethiopians, so they can make it equitable? No, they want their families to run things. They want to use JL as their base to bring a kacaan style government back and if they had the ability, they would destabilize PL as well.
OG are a natural ally to PL, while MX have historically been our biggest obstacles. In an ideal world, JL is shared, but the status quo with Madobe in charge is the best for PL. MX's biggest problem is they don't understand their place within Darood. I hate to say it, but as a clan they are not capable of building or development. The Somali Republic was built by mostly people from the Northeast, and then Barre took one of the best countries in africa with strong institutions, and reputation at the time and turned it into a dictatorship. After the civil war, the people of the Northeast and Northwest built their own states. Even places galnus and hiirshabeele have seen some progress, but look at Gedo? Instead of working with Madobe and helping him build JL, these guys want to destroy what little progress has been made in JL and Somalia at large.
All that being said, I agree majority of Somali's are good people, I just think some have poor political/clan leadership.
