Baidoa(INO)-Before Somalis taken its’ independence 1960, there was profound activities from some individuals from some regions Somalia whose aim to have a kind of real Federal State Government and wants to conceive their community, federalism is the way to merit their territorial resources as looking forward. Including those individuals Ustad Osman political figure, now this name notoriously stamped Hamar-weyne district streets, his assassination come before a day to New York for looking up the federalism system in Somalia.
After a man from Afgoe left behind, the city have not been yet independence, from the regime’s time, the dictator leadership occupied the city and handed over its administration to the non-natives, the resources that endogenous by the Allah is formally divided by the interest groups near to dictator. As it was created by Farm Cooperation on colonial shape over original community, no more participate district level, Municipality, and ground system of the government till it is ousted the government system and nothing to take the resources with their departure.
Early of 1991, when the civil war outbreak, Afgoe was hosted out of number than it is maximum size in home community, since then, as it surely no IDPs out flow the city with the reasons of drought, civil war and other natural obstacles, by the way, as a regions for the last population estimation from the United Nation Population Fund (UNFPA) Office sitting 3rd rank meanwhile, in Lower Shabelle region is 1st rank of population size. Furthermore, the Shabelle River, range land, most part of the land is farm, wetland (Dhashag, Dhashag) and tied to coastal area Jazira under the Afgoe District.
But this times the invasion simply from sub-clan. Grieves, pressure, rape and rob for everywhere in the region, they control about twenty years by force, event thought, the origin community from the region would not even behave aggressively, they had controlled by their resources under the territory it is own, this creates hostile in their hearts by local community (Afgoe Community), these people fed up with the name of some other clans as they go down to hell, nevertheless, the unfeeling shy and mankind from those and others related to them, but lately, but the man run into the bush, nearly the Al-shabab emerging to this regions, some chances blooming among the origin community that was given breath, basically this is the restoration of law and order by the Al-shabab, rights had walkover be done.
Another simultaneously forces come on with the government of Somalia, the leadership of Somalia family’s is not their before Al-shabab back drop the district, currently, bad consequently from the root-line office of Somali leadership is backed the plan, more checkpoints with basket collection money is near to every fence of street for some individuals from the Somali Federal Government (SFG) in South West State (SWS) region, maybe the solely region (Lower Shabelle) involved by central government, the local community needs to detach it from the region, the fiasco of the regional administration concerns with SFG not SWS leadership. By and large, the government is seen as a bunch of charlatan who robs their people by clan interest.
The invasion clan want to conquer Afgoe city by proceeding many bad actions to the community, also the people cannot get encouragement to the court, because of, frighten of the local administration even SFG and becomes more then serious nightmares and these action fixated in Afgoe also fairly in Lower Shabelle region, the last Holly Month of Ramadan were killed 8 innocent intellectual persons from the local community whose previously functioning in the local authority, including former DC of Afgoe, instantly. These days no basket taxation collectors are fully, it seems like cylinder. But the pipeline connected to distinctions.
One year letter, since the SWS successfully established, community does not gain their wishes as they hope before, similar to other sub-states, the parallel interest of individuals and groups are alacrity to Lower Shabelle region especially Afgoe town, the road blockage than ever before as it was, the dalliances believe the volume in basketful short runs, the income per capita of persons fast-forward flourishing as he seen backbone in the family, the mass money collectors are very much alive, but the vice versa is seen and the perpetuate despises is proceeding.
Seeing all these as souls passed away and the mercy of the local community is no longer to wait, if those who involved step aside, even the SFG requires to demand lenient and give them all the chances bring the law and order, but the newly emerged state (SWS) is necessary to build capable administration from the local community and to safeguard their duties the same to elect previously, and the local people is essentially obey their administration as they are in the moment.
