This doesn't mean we have to repeat the mistakes of Afweyne and Darood.

Qabiil should be held in high esteem as a part of history that belongs to you and your ancestors. It's a sense of pride , a sense of belonging , qabiil was initially just a large family group. What's bad about that?

Have qabiils always fought each other? Yeah, it's life it happens everywhere when a group of people live in a strategic location or control certain goods and a less fortunate group living next to them or near them comes along they might try to take it and that's qabiil on qabiil violence. That's normal and happens in history throughout time.

What Afweyne and Daroods introduced is a very very bad version of discrimination along qabiil lines. Darood got drunk with power. Formed alliances and targeted the 2 other major qabiils they deemed as a threat to their monopoly on power in Zoomalia: Isaaq and Hawiye. Of course they didn't flat out discriminate against Hawiye at first , they tricked Hawiye and later turned on them. Afweyne hated Isaaq from the beginning and knew they could flat out discriminate against Isaaq because even at that time Majority of Isaaq lived far away . There was no Isaaq presence in Xamar like the Hawiye / Darood presence. Those two had to be on somewhat good terms in the beginning.

Before sub clans of the same clan might not be united , and might wage war against one another. What Afweyne did was unit Darood subclans by bribing them with money and resources that belonged to all of Somalia and their goal was to discriminate and steal more power and resources from all other clans

Hope you all are good.

Before we get into the topic, I just want from all of you to kindly answer my question without being racist.. PLEASE!!!

Since I was born, my parents did talk with me about Qabiils and the conflict among them. However, when became an college student and interacted with Somalis, I started hearig stories and questions about Qabiil.
I can't believe that my people come from same religion and same color and speak same language.. killing each other because of this disgusting thing called Qabiil. And not only that.. in Business world, also Somalis are discriminated.. an employer might refuse to hire another Somali because he is from a Qabiil that has conflict with the employee's.
Another thing is two lovers from different clans can't married which I'm now suffering from. I met a very good man who helped me a lot and never ever did something bad to me. I'm loving him secretly and I can tell that he loves me back but none of us confess to another. Now the problem is we are from different clans.. he is from Darood and I recently knew that I'm from Tumal..

My question: do you think there is a hope that this relationship might end up into marriage.

THANK YOU.

AGAIN... Please I don't want to read any kind of racism in comments.. please we all are grown-up.. please act so.

No, it was your childish question that sounded like that weird inter species love. If you worry about qabil you're not mature and shouldn't marry.
