Move the Capital to Baidoa

Post by Gubbet »

There is no other acceptable location capable of beating Baidoa in the lowest number of structural impediments.

-It is not Hawiye, Darood, Dir
-It is the largest Maay speaking city in a country where both May and Maxa-Tiri have equal status
-It is the spiritual and metaphysical capital of the Reewin people, 1/2 of the great division of the Somali people Reewin and Samale
-It doesn't have a SINGLE grievance from any Somali clan

Darod will never allow Mogadishu becoming legal capital of Somalia ever again. Hawiye will never allow a Darod replacement.

I was under the rationale Hargeisa could be attractive---but that was pre-Las Anod invasion.

Baidoa is the obvious choice.

Remember---Mogadishu's status is not settled as of 2012. Darod objection prevented Mogadishu's status from being considered politically" settled."

I kinda agree even though we need a place mixed with different people. Also, capital need to have Furdo. I suggest Barawe or marka or Ceerigaabo. But with Ceerigaabo snm still occupies it.Barawe and Marka both have Hutus occupying it. Finally, there has to be unity especially amongst other Somalis in this situation. Hawiye aren’t really United in real life but they sure are when they see you.

So let's give the capital to your last allies in the south and in the process kill two birds with one stone by rewarding the Digil&Mirifle whilst handicapping the hawiye. That sounds like a great idea Gubbet. You think moving the capital is in everyone's interests or are you overlooking that everybody -just like you - is looking out for their interests.

Plebiscite on that. I’m pretty sure it’ll change your mind. And your naïveté in understanding the declining dynastic power of Hawiye in the south for the next 100 years is guaranteed.

You need to learn more about Somalia. Reewin are no more my allies than Abkoow and in fact the number #1 single clan that Reewin count the biggest grievance and with which they ever declared war against is my own sub-clan within Darod.

Mogadishu can no longer be considered the capital of Somalia since 1991. Abkoow who responded in this topic goes into panic mode and becomes hysterically agitated at any mention of Darod equity in Mogadishu. Well fine---TAKE IT WITH EVERYTHING IN IT. But----don 't you dare then think I am going to accept it being considered capital BETWEEN US. There isn't a Darod child alive, forget adult, who is going to ACCEPT or ALLOW final status of capital for Mogadishu. Im the end, "settlement" will be relocated capital status. I am only identifying here my choice for that location.

Curses on the Boon for not having foresight, but in the interest of fairness, it was the 60's and the Dhabayaco from Miguirtinia who set the Jaberti on the wrong
track. :ufdup:

The international community have made a huge investment in Xamar and most Somalis are happy it’s the capital. How would that change. Also the capital has to be a center of power so it can pacify the regions
