Can Somalia's perpetual woes be explained by its vast ethnic diversity...

[LoveandLight]

If I could save anyone , I would recommend we save you ^. Of your 554 posts here on this board all but a few talk about genitals .

I have identified the torture and genital mutilation of children to be the GREATEST CALAMITY to befall the Somali people. There is something fundamentally wrong with the Somali people. It is no accident that the Somali people are suffering everywhere. The torture and genital mutilation of female and male children has far-reaching consequences! What do you expect from a brain-damaged society?

My goal is to help my people and to help protect children, especially babies. I ask Allah for help.

I have provided vital and urgent information to the Somali people. I am just getting started!

Remind me when Somalia was anything other then a slave nation?

Is it by anychance when somaliland was involved?

Any other time outside 1960-1991?

Somalia will always be nothing unless others hold its hand.

stop playing boy.. Somalia existed for thousands of years and this is the most shameful period in our history.

Actually Somalia has always been a homogeneous society. One language, ethnicity, culture and religion.

Please elaborate brother. There are many different cultures and dialects spoken in the region. We all have different origins and ancestors from completely different places. As a result the only thing I can think of that fits the idea of an ethnic group are the different tribes like isaaq, hawiye, darod, barawe, jareerweyn, and so on. But we do all have the same religion and are brothers and sisters of one another in Islam so we shouldn't have hatred for each other inshallah.

There are diversity but it doesn't excuse whatever has been going on.

The diversity in Somalia is artificial. Even the tribes thing is mostly artificial. It is possible for one to be born of tribe A while having most of his/her family belonging to tribe B just because his/her father, paternal grandfather, and so on etc belongs to tribe A.

I would go on and say that most Somalis' family line have been diluted enough to state that any tribe specific characteristics doesn't exist. There is definite north/south divide but not much more than that.

This is pretty much same as giving yourself a red badge and hating on anyone who doesn't have red badge.

What's even worse is that we allowed foreigners to exploit those artificial divisions and today, we're still allowing them to exploit that.

Ethnic diversity ka xaggee? Jareer and reer Xamar share your culture and language and they're the only people who are not original Somalis. Somalia is the most homogeneous country in Africa.

As salamu alaykum, are you Muslim? As for the rest of your post I have no idea what you are talking about. There are huge differences between the tribes in both appearance and culture. I myself come from a tribe that has Arabian roots and am closer to other Arabs culturally and by blood than to other tribes especially those who have always lived in the South. I find it strange how a white ajnabi like you can comment so boldly on our culture but all you have really done was exposed your ignorance!

Somalis are too shamed to admit that they are one ethnicity. Cause any other ethnic groups if given the chance to rule their own homogeneous country would prosper lol, but the country turned into the anus of Africa.

I'm Somali.

None of what I said was untrue.

It's quite apparent you didn't read my post fully. You spoke of the blood, I explained that one can have blood that mostly belongs to tribe B but yet s/he still belongs to tribe A just because his father, paternal grandfather, etc just happened to be from tribe B. This doesn't matter anyway as Somali's blood has been diluted with neighbouring clans enough times that the differences are mostly geographic now.

Arab roots doesn't matter when your neighbouring tribes also has them. The main point is that the differences are mostly geographical.

End of the day, Somalis are still one ethnic, one culture, and one language. The tribe thing are mostly artificial.

Again nobody's ashamed of anything here , you just need to read through . Furthermore ethnic homogeneity is not a recipe for success , countless examples can be shown on both sides of the paradigm . Stangers can become better business partners than brothers , most people are aware of that. If you wanna compare your situation my somali brothers and sisters to that of other nations and countries , STUDY THEIR HISTORY !

ignorance and self loathing , a bad combination

This is very true, I found Sheeqaal and Isaaqs are bigger and larger them other Somalia's while Habargidir are the skinniest Somali clan Americans nicknamed skinnies in 1993. Phycical difference are only noticed when you meet isaaq or Sheeqaal and then see skinny as HG alikes
