Somalilandsun -Federalism seems to be a new plague in Somalia’s political arena where it creates mistrust among leaders and hatred among clans in addition to facilitating a podium for foreign meddlers to further their interests through enshrinement of perpetual conflict between regional administrations and the federal government.
