Woow interesting we Somalis were even dealing with Omanis both in independence wars and business, the Omanis I have meet were wonderful elderly men they seem like the Arabs that loves Somalis most. Yeah the Gulf is rich but a small poor Eastern European nation like Latvia is way more sophisticated regarding Ethnic Nationalism, loyalty towards the state, educated people, political ideologies. Horta how come Saudis are such evil people ? its the only Arab nation where Somalis are beaten by their boss.
Omans r great people the most nice people in this region i have mwt one in the uk his grandfather was born in Mogadishu(bilaajo carab) and he will bring me xalwo cumani who looks like xalwo Somali. actually ours is copy and when he gone he gave me all his expensive stuff he was student. oman Govt was paying for him every thing you would love dictatorship like that
Oman, some parts of the UAE like Sharja, Qatar r great for Somalis despite my dislike of Qatar politically. they r more open and gives your rights. the worse r Kuwait and Nothern Sacuuds and Abu dhabi. Madiina sacuuds are great great great people.
We can only dream of that... a government that cares of us and will pay everything, I mean that is real happiness on this earth I hope your friend was grateful . Sahal dont you think its a very funny world we live in, the Arabs thinks Somalis are ugly Abeed slaves while the Whites who controls the world and who the Arabs worship thinks on the other hand that Somalis are very beautiful people, what a weird world

For someone who lives in the Gulf most of the year, Somalia are nothing like Gulf Arabs. I like to consider myself as very observant so this is what I notice:
-Due to severely harsh climate, little rain, shortness of livestock they always had less appetite for war, anarchy, unlike Somalis who are blessed with good land, that allows them the kibir to fight over little stuff. You’ll be in a whole Khutbah there talking about conserving water. Even with the Ottomons many Gulf tribes were reluctant to fight, the Britts had to use a lot or effort orchestrating.
-Gulf Arabs are more degan, less feisty, than Somalia, but on the flipside have way less pride than Somalis. A Somali who is about to die if hunger, will look at a Gaal like ‘yaa tahay adiga’ while Gulf Arabs will literally worship them. This is a very unique trait of Somalis that I find extremely fascinating. I think it’s because Somalis Historically were a very closed society who didn’t deal with outsiders. They have a lot of pride that when you channel it the right way they could do amazing things. A nation like Somalia of 8 million was minutes from capturing Addis Ababa, the capital of a nation of like a hundred million. Even today after decades of lawlessness, Somalis are going tit for tat with Kenya at the courts.
-Again due to living in very rough conditions, they have more of a culture of obeying a king, ruler, etc, and war is a last result. In all Gulf countries they make Dua for the ruler ‘اللهم وفق ولي عهـدنا إلي ما تحب و ترضي، اللهم البسه لباس الصحة و العافية' etc
Somalis are way more likely to inkaar a ruler nacalaa hebel
politicizing every thing Kenya maxaa keenay
they relay on desalination. money talks here. they have less animals than us but have more milk because of maximising milk yield per cow. there is no more bedouin days sii soco soo soco they have. dairy farms abd companies. war niyahow dadkaas iyo Somali wax la isku matalo maaha i think you lived in Saudiga wich is a big country but they have green side like abha and Tihama mountains in the south and finalliy you heard the Saudi green initiative these days.
How does that contradict my point? You have war, forget about desalination, projects, etc. Southern Saudi is one thing dude, but go to Sharqiya, Najd you can forget about farms. With temperatures that hover around 49 degree Celsius you don’t want to barakac. So like I said their appetite for war is less. Infact they even threaten their population saying don’t think you are Somalia with two rivers, that could survive a war.
FYI I lived in Kuwait too, and it had the same longitude as Sharqiya region of Saudi (Damaam).
