I have been to many Arab countries and I have many Arab friends (some are my best friends) and not even heard the word Abeed come from their mouth.
They all love the Somali nation and wish us the best. Certain people want someone to blame and hate; they conveniently chose our Arab brothers.
That Bantu is spreading hatred!! :-@ :down:

His level of butt-hurt is off the charts. He's like a real life version of resident troll ''SteadyState''.
Yeah, I've just seen the full video. He talks a lot of nonsense mixed with nuggets of truth. Why are there no Somalis combatting his nonsense? :snoop:
Here is the full video. Can you please show me what you called " Nonsense " or lies ? I disagree with him in one thing. I never saw anyone called " Cabid " or " Adoon " by Arabs nor I met anyone who had identity crisis.

Since Somalia became independent in 1960, the country has been under the control of Cushitic Pastoral. The Cushitic continuously discriminates against the ethnic Bantus, and declines all aspects of their rights; including sharing power, resources, political participation, and equal opportunity of education. The reason Somali Bantu experienced such adversities, is because of the fact that they are ethnically different than the rest of the Cushitic’s.
In 1969, when the Cushitic members of the army led by General Siad Barre took power of the entire country, the Bantu’s situation deteriorated dramatically. More than 45% of Bantu’s inherited fertile farming land, got misappropriate by the regime. The Regime confiscated the fertile farming land by convincing Bantu land owners that the land was going to be used to produce massive amounts of sugar cane and rice for the public interest.
Unfortunately this was not the fact; instead the confiscated farming land and all productions and resources were used for personal gains of the relatives, friends, in laws, and interest groups of Siad Bare, and his ruling family members. Furthermore, a massive number of Somali Cushitic refugees from Ogaden Region and displaced Cushitic People from Central Region of Somalia were resettled on to Jubba’s fertile farming land which was and still is the epicentre of the Somali Bantu’s farming land and the Regime’s intention was to empower the Cushitic nomads to over-take Bantu’s fertile farming land.
In 1991, when the Civil war began, the Somali Bantus refused to participate it because Somali Bantu are peace loving and urban civilized society. Also, the civil-war was between Cushitic tribes due to power, natural resources and the ownership of the fertile farming land in Jubba and Shebelle Regions owned by an armed Somali Bantus. Consequently, the civil-war caused a mass genocide, rape and displacement of the Somali Bantu people inflicted by the strongly armed tribal militias.
From February 1991 to December 1992, more than 70,000 people including children, women and elders got murdered or died for decease and starvation. Many others were displaced around the country, or fled to neighbouring countries. This genocide was intentionally planned by tribal militias led by war-lords who robbed all the property including food, clothing and livestock from the Somali-Bantus and at the same time blocked International Humanitarian Relief Agencies to have access or distribute Rations and other live supporting supplies.
The Newly established Federal Government and Regional Administration Institutions are based on tribalism and marginalization of ethnic Bantu who resides nine (9) regions out of eighteen (18) regions of Somalia.

That doesn't erase the fact that their farmland that they have worked on for centuries has been misappropriated/stolen by ethnic Somalis and they have been systemically discriminated by the government and society. Even today they are underrepresented in the SFG,Jubbaland,Southwest and probably in the hiraanshabelle state in the near future.. They might not have been treated as bad as African Americans but they still were treated wrong. Teaching these historical injustices in schools and compensation of their farmland is the least they can do.

It's a fact their women were raped and land and property were seized during the civil war and chaos that followed. Any small qabiil and anybody that couldn't defend themselves were the easiest target including the Bantu.

They were not genocided and as for rape, ethnic Somali women were and still are raped too. The war was affected by all Somalis but no one particularly targeted them as they are making it sound infact, the war largely affected ethnic Somalis. They need quit with their lies against us.
The video was about discrimination stop denying it sxb. They are marginalized in Somali society we use Bantu as an insult. Only jobs we allow them to have is to work as labourers. We abuse their women and children when they come to work at our homes as maids. Stop comparing it to other Somalis that can fight back and have political and economic power. They are citizens of Somalia and they they should be treated as such.

You are right African American are better off African American victims of discrimination have recourse they have the aclu,naacp, southern poverty law center and most powerful institution United States Department of Justice Civil Rights Division.
Somalia, where in 2015 millions of people are worth half as much as others by law. At least black slaves in 1800s America were counted as 3/5 of a person, ka badan 0.5.

This hate speech against Somalis was disgusting, MR eno or whatever bantu name you got, if you don't like Somalia, please go back to Uganda, I can't stand the way you laugh wax kaleba iska daa.

There are many good Jareers in Somalia, but there are some bad ones, and they are no different than the AMISOM raping Somali women.
