I have always wondered why Somali children turn out so differently from any other child. The Somali child represents a child with lack of understanding and is "quite despondent, loud, unwise, brutal and stupid". There were some Norwegian scientists who did research into why this was the case and how these children of Somali origin differed so much from other children in the Horn of Africa and the rest of the World, this scientific experiment carried out on 2 Darood children, 2 Isaaq chidren and 1 Hawiye and which was recorded in Kepping, Jonathan's book, Qat and its effects, produced some very comprehensive and startling news. He mentioned that the Somali parents have passed on a rare mutated form of psychosis induced by qaat onto their children. This would indicate why Somali male children usually turn out to be thieves and the women promiscuous. The psychosis which was formed due to chemical imbalance has been passed into the bloodstream according to scientists and passed on with the sperm thus the newborn child will be born with the rare mutated gene. According to these findings,

"Somali males have a 50% more chance than any other child of flunking in school, having rash manners etc whilst the women tend to feel quite open, rather stupid and quite whorish in behaviour."

I heard they put some chemical in the qaat these days, is this true?

There is a lot of work on the effects of pesticides on khat plants. But what you wrote above is an insult to all somalis.

It's a great read I encourage everyone to further explore the harmful effects of qat.

The Yemanis grow their own khat and hence are aware of the chemicals they put on these plants if any. The level of mental health related to khat in Waaqoyin cities is astronomical because the ethiopians do not care about the end users they maximise their crop yields and spray them with every toxin available and fertilise the crops with the feaces of their 75million population for maximum productivity. The recycled waste of Aids Ababa is the recreation drug of the somali people.

Bon appetit Ya Ardul Soomaal

Simultaneous attacks on somali spirituality, mentality and physical health if this is not war i do not know what is. I would condone growing opium to counter the khat trade and make the 75million population all smile at once

thanks you Cirwaaq, i really didnt know it was that serious, specially Somali diaspora. since most of the countries they reside consider qaat illegal.

And who funded this "research"? The BNP?
