I HAVE BEEN PONDERING ON THIS FOR A WHILE AND I FOUND OUT THAT IF SOMALI'S LINEAGE SYSTEM WAS BASED ON MATRIARCHY, WE WOULD HAVE ALL BELONGED ON THE SIDE OF THE TRIBAL EQUATION. I COULD HAVE BEEN " MY OWN ENEMY "...
SEE I AM HABAR GIDIR AND MY MOMTHER IS DHULBAHANTE, MY GRAND MOTHER ( FROM MY MOTHER'S SIDE )IS MAJEERTEEN.
I COULD ALSO HAVE BEEN A "SOMALILANDER" OR EVEN AN ETHIOPIAN, MY GRAND MOTHER ( FROM FATHER'S SIDE )IS ISAAQ HER GRAN MOTHER IS OROMO.
MY FATHER WAS BORN IN QALAAFO, HE GREW UP IN BELEDWEYNE THEN HE MOVED TO JIG-JIGA, THEN COME BACK TO GAALKACYO AND CENTRAL SOMALIA. HE MARRIED THREE DIFFERENT WOMEN ( HE WAS A PLAYER ) FROM THREE SOMALI MAJOR TRIBES, HAWIYE, DAAROOD AND AHSARAAF. MY AUNTIES AND UNCLES TOO DID THE SAMETHING THUS NOW I HAVE A MULTITUDE OF COUSINS , NIECES, NEPHEWS BELONGING TO EVERY SOMALI CLAN. THIS HAS COME TO MY MIND WHEN I TOOK PART MY SISTERS WEDDING. SHE MARRIED A GREAT GUY SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH. HE IS LEELKASE BUT HIS MOM IS HAWIYE BUT THAT WAS NOT IMPORTANT, WHAT AMAZED ME WAS THE PEOPLE AT THE WEDDING , THEY WERE ALL MY RELATIVES AND MY CLOSE LOVED ONES AND THEY WERE ALL FROM EVERY SOMALI TRIBE. MY FAMILY FRIENDS WERE THERE TOO. OH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING WAS THEN THE LITTLE KIDS CALLING EVERYONE ABTI AND ADEER, EEDO AND HABAR YAR, I WAS REALLY FEELING SO EMOTIONAL AND I COULDN'T HOLD MY TEARS BACK. I THEN ASKED MY OGAADEENI COUSIN, OMAR PICCOLO, HOW COME WE FOUGHT AND WE HATE EACH OTHER AS TRIBES SINCE WE ARE ALL THIS TIGHT AND INTERMINGLED? HE SAID " U ASKING ME WHAT? "
I SAID "REMEMBER IN SOMALIA BACK THEN AND EVEN NOW THERE IS A CIVIL WAR AND TRIBAL HATRED " AND HE SAID "WHAT YOU SEE HERE MY BROTHER?" AND I JUST SAID THIS IS BEAUTIFUL AND WHAT IS GOING ON AND WHAT HAPPENED WAS REALLY SAD.....
IN CONCLUSION, I FOUND OUT IF WE HAVE BASED OUR LINEAGE ON MATRIARCHY, THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. THE OTHER THING I FOUND OUT IS WE ARE ALL RELATED REGARDLESS OF WHICH TRIBE WE BELONG, SO WE ARE ALL GACAL, XIGTO, XIDID, DAD WADA DHASHAY IYO DAD IS JECEL.....
ILAAHOOW SOOMALI ISKU SOO DHOWEE OO NACEEYBKA IYO DAGAALKA MACNA DARAD AH KA JOOJI. ILAAHOOOW MEESHAAN QAXOOTINIMADDA AAN KU JOOGNO NAGA WAD OO DHULKEENII NABAD, BARWAAQO IYO JACEEYL NOOGA DHIG...

Sheekh Cabdi,
you r absolutely right.we are related one way or other and have almost every tribe in our lineage.but probem somalis just think you r your fathers child.they try to forget mother`s blood running thru their veins and lets not forget grandparents and aunts and uncles!
if we wouldve all thought this way,they wouldnt have been civil war!
Amin about the dua. |

dear brother the problem is not the Somali's , the problem is we are uder colony divide and rule that was the method of the European..and this is the game of the warlords they divided the whole Somalia for their self interest...and the sad thing is people are buying...for their destruction ...its simple we Somali's are abusing our existent..all these tribes are One extended family....believe me we all Somali's ONE |
