Why Confederation Is the Only Viable Solution:
For over two decades, Puntland has operated under the principle that good governance begins at the local level, not in a distant, disconnected capital. The failure of centralized government in Somalia has led to corruption, marginalization, politicization of aid, and insecurity. Every attempt to impose authority from Mogadishu has only deepened division.
We at PuntlandFirst believe the solution is clear: a Confederation Government.
What Is Confederation?
A Confederation means:
โขDecentralized authority, where regions like Puntland govern their own security, economy, and local laws.
โขA limited central government in Mogadishu focused only on national defense, currency, and foreign policy ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ not controlling aid, appointments, or regional decisions.
โขRegions cooperate as equal partners, not subordinates.
Why Confederation Works for Somalia:
โขRespects regional identity: Puntland, Jubaland, and others have unique histories and governance systems.
โขEnds power struggles: No more wars over who controls Villa Somalia.
โขStrengthens accountability: Regions develop through their own performance, not favoritism from the center.
โขPromotes peace: Al Shabaab thrives on central dysfunction. Local control defeats extremism faster
How Puntland Can Make It Happen:
1.Lead by Example
Continue strengthening Puntland institutions: justice, police, education, and local revenue โ proving that self-rule works better than federal dependency.
2.Form a Block with Like-Minded States
Collaborate with Jubaland, Khaatumo, and emerging regional states to form a Confederal Council as a counter-model to Mogadishuโs failed system.
3.Draft a Confederal Charter
Develop a new constitutional framework for a Confederal Somalia. Submit it to the Somali people โ not just politicians โ for referendum.

Take Puntlandโs message abroad. Show the world that Somaliaโs future lies in decentralized unity, not a power-hungry center.
5.Popular Mobilization
Through PuntlandFirst and other civil platforms, raise awareness among Somalis across regions about why confederation is the path to peace and prosperity.
Our Vision:
A Somalia where Garowe, Kismayo, Hargeisa, and Baidoa govern themselves โ and cooperate by choice, not by force.
Somalia doesnโt need another dictator. It needs a Confederation.

The ๐๐พ7 signatories do NOT represent #Somalis. 2 of them were appointed by #HSM. Together, they barely control 20 districts in 5 regions mostly with #AMISON help. 13 regions & >70 districts (>80% of #Somalia) is out of their control. #Defund#SFG. We should all go home 2 rebuild.
President HSM 2yrs on:
With #centralised approach Somalia is today more #divided and fragmented.
#Confederal/federalism-ku waa #CAYMISKA midnimada iyo xijaabka #sharka Dawlad dhexe oo gacan qur ah ku jirta.
Hassan Sheikh to mark his two years in power by trying to hold a victory dance in Mogadishu, with his cheerleaders from the southern FMSs present to cheer him.
It's two years of failed opportunities and no foreseeable course correction.
