Dear Readers
Centuries ago, a large number of people lost their lives defending ideals they believed were necessary for their own existence such us freedom, independence and above all this their countries.
Thus patriotism came-the attachment one has for his own country. Much has been written about these heroes. Statues are every where around the glope depicting the images of these fallen heroes and heroines.
Patriotism- the love one has for his own country-is almost visible in any society in to world today. It has been the bond , the common bond that bound people of the same geographical location to stand together in times of dire circumstance.
However in the present day reallity of Somalia a, one is indeed justified to come to the inevitable conclussion that somalis are indeed non-patriotic. I stand to be corrected.
The somali people where ever they are are totally disallienated from their country. Tribalism seems to be the main reason why such shifts happenned. Neverthelessthe present course in which Somalia is marchint to appears to be disfragmented course in which each tribe is paving the way for the distruction of the other needless to say the distructions and the calamities that has befallen to the innocent Somali women and children and the vulnerable elders.
As i look into the horizon, i ask myself whether Somalia will ever be reunited, and whether the patriotism that was known among the Somalis will ever be restored.
Let us love our country and hold hands together and march together towards the restoration of the real Somalia.
