Tribe is a two-edged knife, you can use positively as in the case of a friend of mine whoÂ’s father's tribes people stepped to the plate when his mother died and father disappeared at an early age. So as you can see, the tribe provides individuals with necessary economic and social security.
The other negative side for tribes is also active, and practiced by Somalis as well. For example, if an argument arises between two persons, and one of them says, "Tolaayey" meaning "Where is my tribesman?" that little argument will immediately turn into conflict between two tribes.
Indeed, tribal systems have both good and bad within. So would I donate to my Qabiil? Heck yeah! Cause I ain’t about to let those good virtues, values, and respect which my “qabiil” offer go to waste.
...Who knows I might be at the receiving end of it one day
