I personally found Addis Ababa to be more disgusting and filthy. Somalis are not the worst

So, in other words, it is okay for us Skinnies to be disgusting and filthy as long as we are less so then the Ethiopians? Very logical to me. Anyways, never been to Addis myself to vouch for the extend of their relative filthiness though I have heard stories similar to yours . I did however return from Somalia recently, and after crisscrossing most of the country for months, from Boosaaso to Mogadishu and points in between including Eyl, Garowe, Gaalkacyo, and many other little known villages, one thing I have noticed they all have in common is that they are, for all intents and purposes nothing but massive land fills. And though the lack of government institutions may have played minor role in this, at the end of the day, it is the society that should bear the bulk of the blame; the undeniable truth is that we Skinnies brought about this on our own. It is said reality bites and if that is the case what I am about to utter will devour: We Somalis are inherently dirty, lazy, uninspiring bunch, no ifs or buts about it. Of course, we have always the option of obstinately ignoring the facts as it relates to us and by burying our heads in the sand, pretend we are the proudest, the most intelligent, and indeed the most refined single race on the face of the earth.

He may be right

But being in a Muslim country esp during Ramadan >>>>>

Ain´t nobody in Somalia taking showers with sea water, people use ordinary water for everything.

BV, it is the highest honor to be mistaken for an Oromo. Unfortunately though, for me, merciless Fates have decreed that I should never be afforded the chance of boasting about belonging to so a illustrious and noble house as that of Oromo. Instead, I am doomed to share an ancestry with you, from the far more inferior stock of the eternally cursed qoomul-Somal.
