First of all yes u made some good points about that Somalia issues are rather now not tribal but more regional. But it is stil subclans to the bone for example for those who are not aware of this Somalia politics is dominated by two main clans the daroods on one one side and the hawiye on one side. But that’s not the whole picture yes the current president is Farmaajo and darood how ever he is not the right darood. I will give a clear explanation. Farmaajo subclan of darood is marehan deni president is majeerteen. Majeerteen and marehan have been beefing since the time of siad barre this is just an extension of that also combined with some ideology majeerteen are federalist while marehan are centralist.
It’s true that the two leaders hail from the same clan but not same subclan Also we need to note that majeerteen had a rebel movement ssdf like wise ogadenhaf a rebel movement called spm Ogaden control kismayo and jubbaland another region contested between marehan clan of Farmaajo and the Ogaden clan also Ogaden another subclan of darood . For all of u who do not know puntland and jubbaland have an alliance against Farmaajo it is tribal but ideological as well indeed.

There's nothing ideological in the current political methodology and configuration in Somalia, in the sense that ideology is a system of ideas and ideals, especially one which is intended to form the basis of economic or political theory and policy of a community or country. The so-called politicians in Somalia are driven by their own selfish interests, and their motivational goal is purely how to satisfy their personal gains and nothing else.
Of course, this is not exclusive to Somalia, as the world has lately entered a new era in which real and ideal politicians have become a rarity and instead a generation of politicians with lower self-transcendence values devoid of electoral expectations have emerged.
Having said that, you're so tribal-minded, that, like a Somali bushman in his 70s, to you, everything about Somalia is tribal and nothing else!
FYI, it's totally untrue that, as you claim it, politics in Somalia is dominated by two clans. I'm just listing your crap, not arguing with you, as arguing with you on these issues, to me, would be like a mother who's arguing with her child on how she gave birth to them.
Again, another garbage of yours, which shows that your knowledge about Somalia's history and politics is rudimentary, is claiming that "Majeerteen and Mareehan have been beefing each other", as this has never happened at any time in the Somali history. And stating it as a fact rather than a pure crap of yours that some are "Federalist and others are Centralist" is the most bullshit I've ever heard.
Also, asserting that SSDF was a Majeerteen rebel mouvement, shows once more that, not only are you infested by tribalism and you look everything through your backward tribal lenses, but also, you're literally full of crap, as such tiny rebel group, concocted and led by Colonel Abdullahi Yousuf, did not represent anyone else other than himself and the tiny group that he had led, which didn't last long.
Again, affirming that Puntland and Jubbaland are against Farmajo is beyond ignorance. And doubling down your bullshit and adding that they're against Farmajo because they're from a different sub clan shows again that you don't know anything about Somalia's issues.
FYI, it's not Puntland and Jubbaland federal states that are against Farmajo but their so-called regional presidents for personal issues. When Farmajo came to power, he brought the freedom for federal states to sign any contracts and reach deals with any foreign entities on their own to an end and, as Puntland presidents are famous for exploiting such contracts for their own personal greed rather than benefiting them their electorate, current Puntland president has since been an opponent to whatever Farmajo said, even without knowing what Farmajo has said. As for the Jubbaland president, two issues made him an opponent to Farmajo.
a) The fact that Farmajo has banned charcoal exportation, which used to generate a massive personal revenues for the regional president in question.
b) Gedo Region issue for which Jubbaland regional president blames Farmajo. He's unable to bring this region, which is part of his state, under his authority and instead blames Farmajo for controlling it, even though everybody knows that Farmajo is not even in control of a few streets in Mogadishu.
What amazes me is your audacity of even trying to provide examples to double down your crap and falsehood!
Just one advice to you, though: Steer clear of repeating such nonsensical and falsehood of yours to other people from Somalia. Not only will they laugh loud at you, but also, they might call you the village idiot - unless you have already been granted this. Just a thought!
Sorry for the length of my comment, I didn't have time to write a shorter one.
