Somali regional leaders should be called governors, not presidents

The Issue

A governor in any federal system is the head of the executive branch of the sub-national government. Since state governments in Somalia including Hirshabele, Galmugud, Jubaland, Puntland, and Somaliland are non-sovereign, the leaders in these states should be appropriately called governors. I called upon the Somali parliament and Somali people to support this initiative. I called upon the Somali Parliament to pass legislation in support of this. Somalia's political cohesion and sovereignty depend on it.
