Somalis aren't stupid, they are in tune with reality and they do see foreigners as a threat, but the problem is they have accepted foreigners as being a threat that cannot be defeated a constant force that just exist, this is why they focus inwards, and even use this foreign threat against rival clans to get some advantage over them.Canuck2 wrote: Sat Sep 16, 2017 3:47 pmAdali wrote: Sat Sep 16, 2017 1:18 pmmy friend, clans will do what it takes to be a step above the clans next to them, even if it means selling out core elements of their identity including their language, culture, religion, if it means handing over their resources to foreigners as long as they get a little advantage over the next clan they are happy. You see we are not competing with oromo, arabs, habesha or other foreigners, we are only competing with each other and ultimately the interest of clan A is not to develop and be progressive, but solely to dominate or be better off than clan B, so essentially clan A is happy to do fucked up shit to everyone including themselves because as I said, they are not concerned with the world, their world is only revolving around other Somalis.Canuck2 wrote: Sat Sep 16, 2017 10:11 am
No nothing will change, they will play us against each, and we will kill each to get their approval (seems familiar our stooges are doing the same now). Better to send them away the illegal.![]()
Do not worry!!! Somali clans are opening their eyes slowly, the clans who thought that they are safe and untouched by Ethiopians are waking up to the harsh reality.
The way I see it is the order that existed in Somali inhabited lands prior to nationhood or colonization for that matter, was not ideal, but it worked, if a clan engaged in war with another and won, the losing clan would have no means to beg foreigners with their malicious intent to intervene, so the losing clan was forced to accept reality and work out some settlement, and the winning clan would practice restraint and compassion, the elders would get involved and even though the losing clan might have lost land, wealth or something like this, their lives would continue and their culture, their religion and way of life would not have been infringed upon by foreigners, there would not be a constant state of war and a race to the bottom. There would be peaceful time and people could build up without restriction. When we got nationhood under the kacaan, people were actually free to build their lives, as much as they didn't like the ruling family they had freedoms, today they lack many of those freedoms for this false pride that they are independent from any clan when in reality they all come under much more foreign entities that aren't even Somali or Muslim.
