As the dawn of a new millennium takes its first faltering steps, I look upon the People of our nation and find that history yet continues to repeat itself. We who are reconstructing a faith of historical import are blind to history. We who should hold up history and seek to gleam the right paths for us to travel cannot see but a few years into the past. Although our people have pretty much held the blood feud as an essential part of the National process, I believe it is not viable to such a youthful resurgence of our Nation, yet it may become a necessity. We are though on the path to that end. All of this stemming from essential differences in points of view which shouldn't be in the first place.
It has baffled me to try to understand the tribalistic mindset. I find its illogical idiosyncrasies out of place within our religion, Islam. A religion, which was born with our people and still carried by our people.
With the polluting of our people's minds by sick warlords with ultra primitive leanings, they are succeeding in destroying the fabric of our Society. By making it wrong to be proud of being a Somali and practicing a united Somali ideology, which comes from our great forefathers, we can readily see the origins of the selfish heresy.
How long will it take for those sick warlords to understand the error of their ways? The Somali people want to unite. But alas, the sick warlords pay no heed to this and therefore are a rot within the tree of our people. They do not stand for a unique cultural identity, which is essential for our people. Instead they seek to flood it by allowing those of other races into our great nation and taking liberally from misunderstood dogmas of the past. These principles have no place in our country they are destructive and an anathema to us.
How long will this be allowed to go on before blood is shed over it, again? Further yet, how long will this go on before blood is shed against these warlords who espouses such silly doctrines to our people. Making us criminals for being proud of our simple clans, so as to satisfy their selfish desires and destroy our brethren within our country.
I see a great future before us, but before that comes there will be great strife. The valleys and plateaus of our great Somalia will run with our blood. There will be great wars and we will suffer. But before our people can become of one mind and goal this must be. Until this becomes we will fight amongst ourselves to the benefit of others. The inevitable looms before us, to stem its tide we must strike the root of the enemy. To secure our place in the world once again as a strong people we must wipe the warlord’s heresy from our people. How long must we wait? |
