Somalia's Most Devastating Character Trait
Begging, begging, begging and more begging. Now by begging I don't necessarly mean begging in the literal sense like on the street. What I mean is for us Somalis asking someone to do something for You comes before wanting to try to do it for Yourself. In Somalia, You will not believe how for instance in some official Gov delegations to foreign Country, some Somali Gov Staffers who are very well paid actually beg the foreign embassies for money When they arrive. The Government itself on many occasions is content spending money for private purposes, knowing that they can always beg for more funds. As You see in the diaspora many times, a Somali You barely even know will not ask, but expect You to take Him somewhere, or expect You to buy Him food at a restaurant, and so on and so forth. I believe even as much as qabilism, self sufficiency should be another major them preached when it comes to outreach in the Somali community.

Hi Murax
Somalis are interdependent group and since we value group-controlled resources ( Tribal societies share resources), it's expected that people will rely on others to be taken care off. If you want self-sufficiency,there needs to be change in cultural/social norms.

Hey SummerRain
Gosh, so everything comes back to qabil huh lol
I think Self Sufficiency will help fight qabilism. When We realize the success of My tribal member, distant relative, heck even the success of Your personal family is not Your success, and that everybody has to work for what they get, then qabilism will get phased out. Basically forgetting about trying to benefit from anything other than Your work.

Re: Somalia's Most Devastating Character Trait
This kid is confusing the clan norms of hosting a guess with his upbringing America of individualism. I don't know abt the gov officials beggin but the other info suggests that you are perplexed by why you are expect to buy something when you have your cousin visited you from uptown.
One of jobs consist of visiting senior homes and I've came to appreciate the beautiful culture we have. I would say go pay a visit to your local senior home to see why Western civilization is going downhill in an rapid fashion.

Re: Somalia's Most Devastating Character Trait
Not only are they begging......the aid is used to line their pockets.
Another sickening phenomenon is the pervasive NGO.

The most individualistic somalis are the Sujuis in Kenya and they are on average more educated, tolerant, and open to ideas than other somalis.

Mrkutiiriye,
Umm, no 'hosting a guest' has absolutely nothing to do with My post. Even if its not a relative, being hospitable is one of the core elements of Islam. You missed the point of My post.
Sahal,
Truth hurts.
Original Dervish,
Sad reality, but this is a characteristic that plagues a lot of Somalis, period.
Talloalleudaa,
Ditto!

This thread is a pure reaction of my last thread, I logically destroyed your shallow argument

Think about this Dameen statement You made for just 1 second. 'AS attacks Where they breach the statehouse, strengthen the Gov'. Let me guess by giving the Gov more cause to beg even more? Is this what Governance means to You?"
viewtopic.php?f=250&t=350140#p4254584
You made a lot of jees jees threads about me wich all shows your al iflaas al fikri and turning into a new superficial threads li tanfiis ixtiqaanika honaa! To release your frustrations here!
Yeah good luck with that but I hope you be an initiative man/rajol al mobadara instead of being posting some reaction threads
I have no probalem if you do this as a separate initiative that has no relations with my threads but I'm against that you have nothing to offer except a reaction!
Even the europe had a recovery program and had recieved aid by the US wich is the reason why america has replaced the uk in the gulf countries and in the world generally
You don't know that we have been destroyed by these countries like the ousting of the islamic courts
You don't know how much they steal our resources
But no point to debate with you just stop being reaction.
I'm out of this, will be my las landing in your threads hope we avoid each other and never meet in a thread.
Wassalam.

Re: Somalia's Most Devastating Character Trait
cause of the idividual beg is norm " adeer, bal wah e so dir" , so is okay to beg as a government and groups!
Allaho no sahal, in this blessed month. haalku wallah ma sahlana.

Re: Somalia's Most Devastating Character Trait
I thought it was more entitlement than actual begging coz their pride is too big for that.
It is expected.Because people did back in baadiye.

This thread has an strory ya3ni fii inna ma3natoo as reer sham say or as imam ali put it kalimat 7a9in orida biha batil! A word of truth by which falsehood is sought!
We have been called bilaad wax isee no one is denying all this but he uses this whenever I made thread about the govt(wich he may have an issue with it) that he dislikes it
Firstly he postes in my thread then he makes an imitating thread!
Wa kolla hazaa ya mowlana li tanfiis i7tiqaanatihi wal hazaaim allati al7aqtoha bihi fil qism al siyasi laysa illaa.
