One of the largest clans in #Somalia, Mudulood, part of wider Hawiye clan, met today in Mogadishu guest house, despite opposition of such meeting by #Somalia’s government. Lectures were offered in the state of the clan and that of Somalia. Clan becomes a hedge when state fails.
Mahdi, former interim president who spoke passionately, stated no one has power to stop the clan from discussing about their fate during this difficult time. He opposed federalism, claiming Ethiopia imposed upon #Somalia, making strong central Somalia admin out of the question
The meeting tested the power of the federal government, led by Marehan President, a part of wider Darod clan, imposing its will upon elements of wider Hawiye clan. Mudulood demonstrated their power as a clan in #Mogadishu.
