"Pseudo-legal argument to sub-divide the Somali federal Republic.

The new Somali constitution.This new Document has been misquoted and abused although the document itself is "idiosyncratic". In this new document there is not any article saying that foreign powers like IGAD can make or install an administration or the administration of the regions of Somalia have their source of powers in" foreign capitals" or International organizations like IGAD.There is not any article saying the parts of Somalia liberated by the Amisom/Somali armies can have an administration out of the legal jurisdiction of the Somali state.There is one article which says that the " regions so-called states in existence prior to the enactment of the constitution can have their own local statutes and administrations". If the people-citizens of the Region which have been liberated now decide to convene a constituent assembly to choose their transitional leaders or governor this must be done within the framework of the new constitution.In other words this must be convened and done by the legitimate government of the Somali federal Republic. I do not believe the source of " powers' to make legitimate this new authority is out of the jurisdiction of the Somali state.The regions of Hiraan and Bay and Bakol have been made by the Ethiopians using local clans prior the new constitution but this has been ratified/re-nominated by the President of Somalia at that time.The idea that people-citizens of the newly liberated regions can nominate or choose by themselves new administration is not in the constitution and that act is illegal and against the sovereignty ,Unity and territorial integrity of the Somali federal Republic.It looks the right of " self determination of people' sanctioned in the U.N Charter has got a new interpretation by the IGAD representative when we write and explain the Somali situation.The so-called IGAD outfit has re-interpreted that article and made that" all clans and sub-clans of Somalia have the right of self-determination" as we were different different National Communities and not one Somali national community which is from the same ancestry,Language and religion. Already this has been applied in the past illegally in the constitution of so- called break-way States of Somaliland and so-called semi-autonomous region of Puntland from when those Somali Clan, Sub-clans convened in the 90" and in so called Clan assemblies to declare themselves "powers" as there were not already part and parcel of the excising Somali National State and part of the sovereign territory of the Somali Republic.That process is still going on. Now after the enactment of the Somali Federal Constitution there is not any justification to install different institutions on the same Somali territory invoking "pseudo-legal"concepts and infringing on the Somali Republic sovereignty.
