The extent of Somali arrogance and pride you have to love.

[ToughGong]

A Ugandan sergeant with the British forces in the early 20th century fighting the Somalis made that statement

Somalis, Bwana, they no good: each man his own sultan.''

In other words, they take orders from nobody; and their sense of independence is matched by a supremely uncentralised and fragmented degree of political organisation, a kind of ordered anarchy. The basis of political allegiance is blood kinship, or genealogy. Children learn their ancestors' names by heart back to 20 generations and more. A Somali does not ask another where he is from but whom he is from. Strangers who meet, recite their genealogies until they reach a mutual ancestor the more closely they are related the more readily they unite, transiently, against others: ''Myself against my brother; my brother and I against my cousin; my cousin and I against the outsider.''

Somalies have too much pride & indha adeeg sometimes danteena ku seegno but on the positive side, we're very generous and giving (not tight with money sida Ethopianka)

“You can not beat them. They have no inferiority complexes, no wide-eyed worship of the white man’s ways, and no fear of him, of his guns or of his official anger. They are a race to be admired, if hard to love”

[afisoone]

Xaajada cali madexweyne iyo germalka ayee u taala. KKKKKK . It is funny how somali hypnotize something impossible to imagine....

[RovingMadness]

Cali Madaxweyne are the craziest Somalis

During the Mudulood and Habar Gidir war, a Hassan Muse/Cali Madaxweyne elder was asked to mediate the two sides. He got up and said the infamous, " Habar Gidireey, Mudulood waa walaalgeen.....Muduloodow, Habar Gidir waa walaasheen"

guys I was reading on an article on some online danish newspaper about Somali's moving out of denmark and people could comment on the article and there where allot of hostile and hatefull comment's about Somali people..anyway one of the danish guys gave his reason on why he hate us here is his comments translated from danish to english.

Niels S. you must live very far out in the country and never having seen a Somali.

The worst thing about them is their master race mentality and so they are completely cold.

It was also only the "upper class" from down there who could afford to sit in a plane to DK

poor guy thinks we all came from the upper class in Somalia and that explains why we look down on every non Somali.

A young man came to Sayid and said, "LET US SEEK HELP FROM OUR ARAB MUSLIM BROTHERS". The Sayid replied in a poetic manner "MY SON STOP WHINNING, THE ARABS ARE WOMEN".

"Gilligan's last elephant" about a retired British soldier taking an American playboy on an elephant hunting expedition. Gilligan, the Brit employs an arrogant Somali guy as his guide and some kenyans as his baggage carriers. There is much discussion of the Somali character along the way. In the climax of the book, the two white guys become tangled in a competition as to who would beat the other one in the march without succumbing. The Somali guy easily beats them and then rubs it in their faces boasting that no one can outlast a Somali in a march. That the Somalis are impervious to heat, thirst and hunger and fatigue. For the record the British came second and then the American then the Kenyans way way back.

At the begining of 20th centuary when the Mad Mullah's campain was at it heights, and the Brittish were facing defeat after defeat,one English lord busted with anger and exclaimed,

"WE CAN TOLERATE A DARKMAN WHO ACCEPT HIS INFERIORITY,AND WE CAN TOLERATE A DARKMAN WHO GIVES AS A GOOD FIGHT,BUT WE CAN NOT TOLERATE A DARKMAN,WHO GIVES AS A GOOD FIGHT,AND WHO IS EQUALLY AS INTELLEGENT AS WE ARE,IF NOT MORE INTELLEGENT THAN US.

The American Ambasador in Kenya , in a desparate attempt to warn the invading Americans, said and I qoute "Somalis have either been in war with each other or with others", he added " Beruit will be heaven compared to somalia". This latter statement costed him his job as an Ambasador.

Sayid Mohamed Abdula Hassan wrote a letter to the British Commissioner at Berbera. 'You have aligned with all the wastrels of the world because you are weak. This alliance of yours, with Seiks and Bunyans and Moors and Egyptians and Americans and Nubians and Serbs and Arabs and Indians and Russians. We stand on our own, independent and free. But because you are weak, you must solicit, as does a prostitute.'
