Visit the Politics section - you will find your answer there
it doesn't answer why...
Because most times that is the only perspective when it comes to Somali news. 2 clans fight - first question is what qabiil were they and what qabiil was the murderer. There's a Somali lesbian, what qabiil is she. Some hotel gets built - what qabiil are the owners. Etc etc. Why? I don't know - I guess it's how we make sense of things, make connections, stereotypes, share the glory, pass on the blame.
