Bantus conquered and settled in most of the continent, evidently being short and stocky on average is not a predicament to success. On the contrary..

So why is Somalia the saddest place on earth?

Ajuran:


according to who? Somalia is ancient land. Many great cultures and tradititions emerged from that place. Despite not having a functional government Somalia has better and cheaper internet, mobile service and advanced mobile banking than many countries in Africa.

Bantus are an exception in that they try to alter their appearance as a race in order to change the way they were born.

Kenya has endorsed the latest regional state in Somalia, a move that is likely to offend Mogadishu.

The Central government of the neighboring country has been uncomfortable with Kenya's "continued fragmentation" of its fragile administration.

Deputy President William Ruto yesterday hosted the president of the new South West State of Somalia, Sharif Hassan Sheikh Adan in his Karen home in Nairobi.

"Kenya would assist in stabilising individual states of the Federal Government of Somalia as prerequisite to bringing stability to the whole country and the region at large," Ruto said.

Sharif Hassan is a former Finance minister and speaker of parliament. He was ousted in 2011 as speaker after he held "unauthorised" talks with the Union of Islamic Courts which later morphed into the al Shabaab militia group.

He has business interests in Nairobi as well.

Mogadishu has been uncomfortable with Kenya's "crowning" of regional leaders in the name of Somalia's unity and prosperity.

Last May, Somalia temporarily recalled its ambassador, partly in protest of Kenya's close association with the Jubaland region.

The Interim South West State of Somalia which brings together the Bay, Bakool and Lower Shabelle regions has its capital in Baidoa and it borders Jubaland to the east.

It was inaugurated in November last year in a process supported by Intergovernmental Authority on Development and United Nations Operations in Somalia (Unisom).

Baidoa is the headquarters of African Union Mission to Somalia's Sector Three, manned by Kenyan and Ethiopian forces. It is considered an important town in the fight against al Shabaab.

The formation of the state in Last November was vehemently opposed by the Somalia's parliament led by speaker Mohamed Osman Jawaari. There were also demonstrations in Baidoa opposing the new administration.

The South West state becomes the fourth semi-autonomous state of Somalia. Others are Puntland, Somaliland and Jubaland.

Somaliland cut links with Mogadishu years ago and is fighting for international recognition as an independent country. It has democratically elected its president and is largely considered a success story.

Abdiwahab Sheikh Abdisamad, an analyst with Southlink Consultants and Horn of Africa political scientist at Kenyatta University said Somalia's lack of a clear foreign policy towards Kenya has created fodder for former warlords to claim leadership within their ethnic base.

"While the central governmental of Somalia was aware and actually involved in formation of this state, the latest visit to Kenya by Shariff Hassan must leave Mogadishu uncomfortable as it considers it subordination by Hassan," he said.

Analysts say Kenya and Ethiopia want local administrative units to support them against al Shabaab and to avoid any influx of refugees into their countries. The state is also considered a favourite destination of repatriated Somalia refugees from Kenya.

Kenya was instrumental in the formation of Jubaland, another self-declared autonomous region, which it sought to use as a buffer against al Shabaab. Jubaland is led by Sheikh Ahmed Mohamed Islam (Madobe) who fought alongside the Kenya Defence Forces during Operation Linda Nchi in 2011.

He was the commander a militia called the Ras Kamboni brigade. Efforts to speak to speak to officials at Kenya's Foreign Affairs ministry did not materialise as phones went unanswered.

Yesterday, Ruto said Kenya "has no other interest in Somalia other than bringing peace and stability to the country".

"We do not want anybody to take advantage of the fragile situation in Somalia and incubate people to destabilise the country and the region," he said.

Ruto said the government is ready to participate in the reconstruction of Somalia through the Joint Cooperation Commission established in 2013 to tackle development issues between the two countries.

"As African leaders, we should be in the front line in helping our brothers and sisters in Somalia," he said.

"We can be limited in capacity but not in willingness to assist."

He appealed to Kenya to assist in building the capacity of his government especially in police, the justice system and in intelligence gathering.

^ this slowpoke doesnt know that Somalia is made up of several states, the south has been one state but the current president in somalia was there to be several states in the south. The president was elected with the purpose to federate the country into states so that each region could function without the capital's help. But they are still part of Somalia.
Before 1991, Somalia had a centrally controlled government where all the power was in mogadishu, so now the states get some power. Its a system based on the USA model.

Like your own article states, those regions are autonomous just like states within the USA. I support this system, because it means if there is a problem in Mogadishu then the rest of the country can continue to function. This is the main reason why Somaliland and Puntland, the only states in Somalia before 2014, had semblance of peace and order for the past 23 years while The south was in chaos.

gallivant:
Not really, its because your stories are really cool; most of the time leaning very closely to fiction..



So why is your government bitching like little girls? Do you think federal clan states will be more united? This will make it easier for everyone who is entitled to a piece of Zoomalia.Furthermore, is Nairobi the HQs of all these new states? Stick to what you do best, weaves and other feminine needs.
