 Deeqlee,

Perhaps you are not aware, but already Hawiye was able to hold the presidency twice in row because of the Dirr and D&M votes for Hawiye candidates, like Sheikh Sharif and Ulusow . In a parliament under 4.5 formula,  where the 4 major clans have each an equal representation, it will usually take Hawiye or Darood to put together a coalition to win. As for the federal system being a regional federal system--not a clan federal system--that will take a long time to be realized! As of today, the so-called federal system of Somalia is a clan based system. For it to be a regional system, clans in regions must shed their clan identification and assume a regional sentiment loyalty! In my opinion, we are long off from that!

thinking that hawiye and isaaq coalition will
undermine daarood,is a radical thinking.
I personally believe that any coalition
that can restore governance is a good coalition.
further more ,the federal system is all about
regional federalism not clan federalism.
however, since the inception of galmudug where
a whole province was divided along clan lines
clan federalism may be possible.

 deeqlee,

As you know, the federal system endorses that each clan governs its area! But the national politics will require a skill of coalition-making. If Hawiye and Isaq can band together politically and bring other smaller clans with them, then Darood can be marginalized in national politics. Personally, it wouldn't matter to me who is dominant in national poltics as long as it is done democratically and the country is effectively governed. Remember in politics, groups dominate for a while untill they become less effective. Then, other groups are given a chance to lead and create their own coalition. The key here is for the country to be run competently, whoever are the main leaders!

well said,HOL is taking the rhethoric that north is dominated
by isaaq and south by hawiye,completely ignoring
that the entire northeast including some regions in
north west coupled with the entire far south comes under daarood umbrella.

Northern Somalia!!! KKK. To be precise, it is Northwestern Somalia! And it will remain that way until judgement day!
