Villa Somalia has now succeeded in bringing opposition politicians and lawmakers to regional alliance, particularly in Puntland and Jubaland, as clans!



This tactic has created a lot of tension and the potential reaction is a long-standing threat to the future of the United Nations as well as the long-standing constitutional reconciliation that has now been drafted by President Farmajo.

The government also wounded in the Upper House would be turning first to open the Constitution to seats away from regions of Sool, Sanaag and run around 3 seat, has had to totally reject the decision of the 142 seats in the House of the People does not meet the constitutional amendment power of 183.

It is unknown whether Galmudug and South West will inherit a government within the next 4 years or leave a bad legacy for the Somali people!
