Most Somalis must suffer from some form of mental illness. Why is it all the Somali leaders are so focused on becoming presidents for villages while the country is ruled by foreigners? They are all happy with becoming a president, usually in name, for a gobol or two as long as they do the bidding of a third party(Ethiopia and Kenya). That study that said one in three Somalis is mental is starting to make sense. The 90s era where we killed each other by the thousands is 100 times better than what we're doing today. I am ashamed.

Try Zoloft

Nah we are way better of today, because in the 90s the very fabric of the people was torn and somalis due to division and fued were split down into their most smallest units and nationalism because of the inter hostillity was suckled out of them. Somalis are still suffering from the consequences of the barbaric period of the 80s and 90s. Some of the symptoms are seeing other somali groups as rivals and enemies and what comes along that is not giving a damn about the country outside of your own clan.

That barbarism needs to come back. Back then every somali tribe was armed to death. No Kenya or Ethiopia ever crossed into Somali the early to mid nineties in Somalia.

False, Ethiopia has been invading and occupying Somalia since the 80s. Some places in the south like Bay province and Bakool province have actually now been under Ethiopia military occupation longer than they were ruled by Siyaad Barre.

Waaa habaaranahay dats wat is wrong wif us

Dude, Ethiopia has always been meddling, in the 60s it was raids and espionage and subterfuge operations, in the 80s it was sponsoring rebels and invading the country. In the 90s it was yet again invading and supporting their prefered clan allied factions RRA later SRRC and then TFG in 2000s followed by more invasions and supplying client states (somaliland, puntland) to keep the skinnies divided and now its part of Amisom peace keeping missions . Today their having an easier time as the islamists no longer operate past the border and are confined to pockets in the country and the ONLF has been pretty much curbed. But my point that the armed somalis were fighting alongside Ethiopians or serving as clients for them still stands; back then it was factions that were all the way with the Ethiopians.

Because somalis hate eachother can't get along don't trust each other . somalis have been living like this since 19 century no leader cares about somalia as long as the enemy qabil loses zersum.
Somalis etopia and Kenya can't be blamed if things were allrigt between Somalis they would not have a chance
Ethiopia Kenya are just as surprised as others they were not expecting this
Somalis run and blame ethiopia for their problems but no one forced somalis to kill each other.

,3 historic events that changed somalis for good somalis always choose the easy way.Somalis turned away when the kacasn regime was bombing Somaliland an targeting somalilanders in xamar Jazeera.

Somaliz few years later turned the other way when the darood qabiil was attacked in their homes and were brutally murdered by rebels.

Again somalis turned the other way when xabashis bombed xamar all looked different way and said not our problem when tens of thoudands fled and were killed.

Elite stop the niiic like a little girl and do something for your country Somalia.

You should focus on your country and your countrymen and forget about other Somalis.


Nin walba tiisa ha daryeelo.

You made many good points

People like Xildiid is wrong with us Somalis. Unless we tamed these unstable and unpredictable glitches in our society we shall forever be left behind.

I don't calaacal over the internet. I'm moving back to Somaliland in 2-3 years time and I'm leaving my comfortable life here in the west to take part in the creation of the SL my people never got a chance to witness. I could care less about other Somalis. It's not my responsibility nor the responsibility of my people who already wasted 54 years for other Somalis and the non existing Somaliweyn dream.

elitesomalia,


The problem with Somalis is even our educated are just as reer baadiye as the guy who cannot read a letter. Some of the Somalis You'll see at the Fadhi ku Dirir spots talking Qabil 24/7 are PhD holders or very educated. With other races, their educated are more sophisticated than their uneducated.

The Somali intellectual the learned Somali is also very Tribalist to the core , he is even seen as the Hal door of the Qabiil, Somalis would say stuff like war miyanaad reerka hoogaaminayn Society makes you a tribalist and expects you to be one and they just go with it.
