furthermore, i have been to Egypt and its people are one of the most welcoming, friendly and tolerant people i had ever seen. the a few times i was there, i enjoyed it a lot. the funny thing, though, is that when i mentioned my good experiences in Egypt to an Arab hater, just like many of you here, he said "Egyptians are not real Arab" i was like "whatever" dude and i ended the conversation there.

to me, probably there are no worse ummad than soomaalida, period. so yaanan dadka kale wax xun aanan ka sheegin

I also Went to egypt.. Many Average Egyptains Relate to horners Than most other nationalities, Especially in the south. If you live in egypt for few years and get hold on the accent Most egyptians would think you are from egypt, even if you say you are somali they would brush it off as " Yes Yes its the same you are from our south you are Egyptian" , someone from nigeria can live all his life and they would call him mazungo.

Egypt is a great place, I'm biased but Im a fan og Egypt , their people, and their culture. Out of all Arab countries its theres whose scholars,academics, entertainers etc I enjoy the most. If you speak with an Egyptian accent its very likely they will confuse for an Egyptian and they are generally receptive to Somalis.

Things turned sour when other Somalis flocked to there and some started to engage in unsocial acts like soliciting between Somali women and Arab men.

lol My father was in the Gulf way before the average Somali for decades. Its true the majority of the earliest were from Somaliland but not all.

Your second paragraph is ridiculous stop being a self hater. Things were much better for Somalis back then, but many of the newest changes to laws are not justifiable at all. The vast majority of Gulf Somalis are law abiding, hardworking people.
