I like the fact that a somali will welcome you to his/her Home no mattere where you are in the world (for the most part) WE MIGHT FIGHT AMONGS EACH OTHER BUT SAY SOMETHING BAD ABOUT SOMALIA AND WE WILL BITE YOUR HEAD OF.
I love being somali and I wouldn't change it for the world.

P.S. we make the best Tea in the world

Le me see... Hmmmmmmmm... Zzzzzzzz...

I am trying to come up with one good thing about my ppl...

Oh ya, We've got a socialist culture in which Somalis treat like brothers and sisters. A Somali person will never ever leave you when you are in need. That's our culture and we are proud of it. We may be going through hardships now but back in the 80s, when I was growing up in Mogadishu, every Somali adult I met treated me as if am their son. Here in America, Somalis help each other a lot and we are like a big family.

For that, I luv each and every breathing Somali. Somalis plz don't get discouraged by the civil war and the refugee life. We'll prosper insha Allah.

The best part for me is gotta be the Love I have for my country. I was born and raised in Europe but lived in Somalia for 4 years. Trust me going to my homeland was an experience all by itself. Somalia was on a very cool life-style when I visited. I am very ashamed to admit the best time for me was the WAR. I was a kid and I was in the middle of TERMINATOR/Saving Private Ryan and the SEIGE. Only in Movies U see all that. And as a Somalian.....I ain't scared of violence.....The toughness shall stay with me fo-eva.

Peace

2. being my own king
3. being born to a nation of arrogant men (me included) and the most beuatifull woman in the known universe
4. ahh the memories of sweet home somalia
5. After school snack-Bajiye, bataati iyo shidni ummmmmm.
I can go on forever and would never be able to run out something i liked about being somali. I would not trade it for the world, something no stranger of somalia would understand.

The best thing of being Somali in my case is learning from older once who tells u what is good and what is wrong. Because no matter where i go when i see a somali person they tell me a good thing like stay in school, make sure u pray, and all the good advices like Kii laga waayo soo joog, Soo jiifso ayaa laga helaa. Those are so true and more things that are true. I love when they used to tell me eat u are the one who is growing i mean the plate is about to be empty and they leave whatever left for u because i do the same to the young once today. We have A good culture that we need to be educated And i lOve u all........

the best part of being somali..get back to me in like 20 yrs and I might have a real answer for y'all. OOoh oooh, I got one. Do I think quick or what? Newayz, one thing I like (notice I used the word like not love) is how god-damn big our families are. Imagine if we had to live like them white folks..not even having one living relative besides urself at times. I guess thats a blessing in itself. And yea, I luv ma complexion too heheee..aint we gorgeous? And also, I can eat whateva I want and not gain a pound..damn I'm lucky...

Perceptive and Brave

By the way, the guy who posed this question "ANONMYMOUS" are you surveying Somali pride, or let me guess you are working for the new somali adminstration. Your question is harmless even you are working for anti-crist who by the way I think will appear in Somalia.

The best thing about being Somali is being brave.
We stand up for what we believe even under nuclear threat. 100 years ago Maxamed abdule xasan was asked to pay custom duties on his return to berbera from Eden. He told fucking British soldier who asked him, that he,the corporol, was staying somalia illegally and he should pay tax. Then what happened you know. By the way that guy we killed Koofil was not a general, he was stupid, really stupid adventurist who was looking for some action. Then,in 1993 Aideed defied the so-called " the new world order" Something every Somali should be proud of. Please don't start with me if you are not Polisci major.

I'm proud of what i am and there is no one who could change that. I am a somali women and after all that's the best thing. I thank Allah for making the person i am, holding my arms through hard times. We all have something we love in life, I love being Somalian,

Aideed was a self-agrandizing scum bag who led his nation to ruin. He of course was in good company. But in terms of king of the dog sh*t pile, Aideed was fighting hard to be on top. We should have killed him when we had the chance, but noooooo, we had to play by the rules and kill 10,000 other people instead. Go figure. Well, at least he got his in 96, the miserable son of a bitch. And I was a history major but minored in polysci - does that count?

Mad Mac.

Whatever happens between Somalis it is Somali affair, however Aideed will be remembered by those who understood the true nature of so-called " Operation Restore Hope". In addition, from political anthroplogy point of view Aideed actions are consistant with that of any rational clan leader. Clearly you need to be familiar with political development of Somalia not historical analysis to reconstruct what went wrong and the reasons that contributed Aideed's decisions.

ok i see some people are drifting away from the topic mentioned on top....
to me, the best part about being somali is our lifestyle happens to be very simple.....we may be very poor but proud and still dignified...somali nomads are arrogant yet compationate and very hospitable when visited at their homes.....sometimes they are violent and territorial just like wild animals; given their environment, who wouldn't fight for territory. you know, individually, they don't really own marked, specific land for their livestock to flourish then clashes from land disputes are inevitable. And so it went on to the cities. the entire civil war was ignited by nomads who viewed the governmental authority as a grazing territory for their camels and sheep. let's say Siad barre,aideed, ali mahdi and the rest of them who all got the blame for the destruction, were born nomads and grew up with such mentalities that even after some of them were educated, screwed things up............

BEST PART ABOUT BEING A SOMALI, I WILL HAVE TO SAY HAVING CLOSE KNIT FAMILY, NOT MANY PPL ARE LUCKY TO HAVE THAT!!

IF I DO SOMETHING STUPID TODAY I KNOW MY COUSIN OR MY NEPHEW WOULD NOT TURN HIS BACK.


I WOULD NOT STARVE OR GO HUNGRY FOR A DAY IF MY PPL ARE AROUND AND BELIEVE ME YOU WOULD FIND SOMALIS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TODAY WEATHER ITS BANKOGK OR HIROSHIMA THEY ARE EVERY WHERE.

EVERY MORNING WHEN I GET UP AND I LEAVE MY HOME IF I DON'T SEE A SOMALI PERSON IN THE STREET I WOULD WITDRAWL SYMPTOMS, I GUESS ITS BECAUSE I LOVE MY PPL.

P.S THAT DOES NOT MEAN I WOULDNT TAKE UP ARMS IF MY CLAN RIGHTS TO HARGEISA ARE FIOLATED BY DAAROOD.

The best part of being Somali is having your family concern and support even when you're 50yrs old. Mother and Father who'll over you their last peice of bread when you have nothing. Not like these white folks.

Another reason is having to courage to stand up for for ourselves eventhough we don't have country behind us. Walking in this world like we own it...and most of all having the pride to call ourselves Muslim and respecting our Values.

I deeply hambled to proud to be Somali.
