Consent or Contempt for our Motherland

Post by RIIGHAYE »

I find it despicable to read in public forums and hear those of us who live in the West express such a gloomy contempt for their motherland, culture and language. What is causing this widespread expression of contempt for our motherland? Are the young ill-informed of their history and culture? Or are some of us just too unhappy with the dismal situation of back home with which our people show both resilience, persistance and toughness.
Is this departure from the Somali Norms or the Unintended Consequences of living in the West.

When we are bombarded with prejudicial forms of information (through relative deprivation, media and western schools) we don't simply approve of it in the first place, but the info penetrates deep into our subconscious minds eventhough we aren't aware of it. WE later ignore to assess its invalidity but accept it as the harsh realities of our lives.



The time we come to Understand that we have external enemies who don't recognize your existance other than prolonging the agony of Somalis by manipulating and exploiting your weakness, by corrupting your cultural and religious foundation, by depriving you of your resources and of the right to be a master of your own destiny, by issuing hypocritical Press releases condemning the brutal actions they created and covertly support, by empowering the least educated and the most ignorant ones among us to rule and lead us, then that is the time we would have the ability to overcome the centrifugal aspect of conventional somali institutions such as kinship ties, that is time we fiercely fight those who debauch our loyalty to Somali nationalism, and that would be the time we firmly establish sustainable peace throughout Somalia.

It's the states of nature that one man's gain is another man's loss. The only way to overcome this powerful alliance from perpetually gaining your resources and placing your country and people in bondage is to muster enough intellectual, financial, technological and manpower resources to do two important elements:
  • fight for the Unity of Somali Nation and
  • Appeal to South Africa, Nigeria, Malaysia, Qatar, United States, and Saudi Arabia for the reconstitution of Somali State.
Keep the good faith

they've helped keep us in Limbo in this time as well

the only way Somalia becomes a state again is if there are interests for a new power to take advantage of

Appealing for outside 'help' defeats the purpose, me thinks.

Fah1223, You need diplomatic support from such countries to at least pressure major European powers and a big time cash injection into the Somali Peace Process from the sole Super Power.

American Suufi, I know you have grievances against LamaGoodle, but put that grievances aside for the common good. We all win if we forgive and forget the past.
For those who believe in the power derived from a Failed state, they will soon realize the consequences as some groups have already seen.
