The prime minister then traveled to Dhusamareb as Villa Somalia pressed ahead with Shuluq’s candidacy. South West, Galmudug and Hirshabelle are the three FMSs where Villa Somalia has gone furthest in determining who governs. A president backed by Villa Somalia may sit in Baidoa, Dhusamareb or Jowhar while large areas beyond the capital remain outside his government’s reach. That separates Jubaland from South West, Galmudug and Hirshabelle, where Villa Somalia has been able to shape who governs. This is Somalia’s governance map four months after Hassan Sheikh declared the provisional constitutional era over.
