What's even worse than what you have stated above is our arrogance and false pride, I don't even discuss anything with a group of somalis anymore because the level of delusion is abnormal high for people who amount to nothing.

The American ambassador to Somalia back in the days, Peter Bridges, said it as much. He said "Somalis believe themselves to be the center of the world, when they hardly exist in it's periphery".

It is the difference between waxaad is mooday, iyo waxaad tahay.

When I was 10 years old in 2001, my white friends asked me why I had left my country, I said there is civil war in Somalia, then they asked me again in 2005 I said again there is civil war, then they asked me again in 2009, again in 2011 and finally they said " How can you figth aganist each other in 20 years? " are people in Somalia without brains?

One day I was talking politics with a chinese girl and she was talking about how her country was going to rule the world economical and political, she asked me why there was civil war in somalia I said they are figthing aganist each other because of tribe she laughed and said we were primitive savage.

here we go again

sad the fact is we dont know who is our enemy any more, is it me, is it you, is it the usa, the uk, is it the arabs, the africans, ???????

Enemy, enemy, enemy. Typical Somali. I vs. the World. I vs. you. Nothing else but hypersensitive reactionary desert pastoral reflex that handicaps them.

I say your biggest enemy is no one but you.

Did you knew that while Siyad Barre was building Somalia to a modern nation in the 1970s, many somali leaders was making plans to destroy his government because he was too succesful in their eyes?

Alle hau naxaristo Siad Barre, but in terms of development we were far from a modern nation. Sure some things were supported, there was better government coordination, and development aid was channeled in easily but to call it a "modern nation" is part of the delusion I am talking about. We were a third world dumping ground even then.

Jalle Siyad created free education and health care, it was the only place in Africa where a child could study free from school to university... and the government invested in roads and banned tribalism..... I think if the socialist government was supported after 1978, and SSDF never rebeled that Somalia today had been a modern nation like Singapore.

E-sis, look at this travesty of human thinking bal...only among the Somali and it is very prevalent;

This famine is being used as a tool to either distract others from something else that is brewing such as the Gadhafi Libya issue. Or from other cases occurring around the world, however some are even speculating that this whole famine is being exaggerated as to allow a permanent UN based to be made. Thus making Somalia a South Korea like country, whereby the west can do with it whatever it wills.

Mr voltage, Mr voltage, Mr voltage.

Sometimes I smile appears on my face when I hear, when I see, when I am in the presence of individuals with self-defeatist attitudes. People such as yourself.
Mr voltage, you seem to be a man of high intellect such as myself, however where we differ is that I have so much self-confidence upon myself, I rarely question myself.

Whereas you seem to question yourself on a regular basis. It brings me back to my youth, seeing my uncle arrive from Mogadishu with a smile on his face laughing and joking. He was telling my father about how he collected large amounts of goods the day Mogadishu fell. To this day my dear uncle drives a first class BMW and Mercedes. He is a remarkable man who sets his goals very high, and accomplishes unimaginable things. Always looking up, never looking down. Nothing is impossible in his eyes, traits that more of us should share.

You hardly need anyone to disparage you when you do the job so well. And please, never believe that I for a second think you are a man of high intellect. To the contrary, you remind me of a buffoon who is too shallow to ever notice the perception they rightfully give off.

And while I am at it, I might as well let you know criticism and self-questioning is the highest form of human enlightenment. The only man who is content in his surroundings is nothing short of a small minded surface airhead; which, of course, you are.

Jalle Siyad's time was better than the present but it hardly amounts to modernity or advancement in human development. The country was poor. Our lifeline was world aid. Those roads were built with Chinese grants. Let's stay in the present please. What I am talking about is actually self-sufficiency and evolution of Somali people that is above mere personalities. We have never had that and we don't have that today. In fact we seemed to have regressed, if we could have regressed more.

Whats sad is you lot coming to this topic to talk about Somalia without doing anything about it. Somalia doesn't need negativity and your pessimistic opinions it needs HELP. So if your not willing to do anything for your country your views are not needed.

Mr voltage I come from a long line of successful men. From my great grandfather, to my grandfather, to my father and finally leading on to me. I have 4 generations of successful, positive thinking and prosperous blood in me alhamdulilah.

So excuse me for not sharing your defeatist attitude. I live, breath and only think of success. I try to always think optimistically. For example in sports, I have a winner’s mentality I don’t play for sportsmanship I play to win by any means possible and that’s how I treat life. I’m constantly thinking, analysing measuring everything I interact win.

Sometimes spinning things into a positive, whereas you Mr voltage, unfortunately for you of course, seem like the complete opposite.

[Voltage]

I will never desire to be even something as small as a mayor in Somalia. Lack of political maturity combined with political hunger is one of the chief things that contributes to Somali stagnation.

As for what I have done? This topic attempting to reaching even the lot of you is something. Helping the alcoholic get off drinking is first achieved by tackling the denial of the alcoholic. This topic attacks Somali denial about the current realities of their people and nation.
