Exactly. The Italians and British were singing their praises regarding intelligence, and he wants us to think they're primitive desert people or something.

Sir Richard Burton who once encountered Somali nomads during his trip to southwest of Herer ( Hargeisa ) was amazed when the nomads asked for news of the great war in Europe.
The Crimean war between Russia and Ottomans.
He did not expect such ' country ' people to know anything of the worldly affairs

You listed opinion. Reality is country people are more backward, xenophobic, and less enlightened.

so Voltage according to this logic, are you saying someone from like beled hawo or garbahaarey is more backward and xenophobic and less enlightened than someone from big city like Hargeisa or Burco ..??

I am talking about real world standards bro. Even Mogadishu would not qualify as a town in my state.

Also, enlightenment is by virtue of the culture of a city or education. A Somali geel jire who has always herded camels in solitude has the same personality and culture as his counterpart who grew up in Muqdisho from my observations.

voltage give this notion up man, you are losing big time.

Some of the brighest most informed people I've met are not from major cities
some of the dumbest ignorant I know are actually city dwellers..

Forget your semantics.

You made a blanket statement saying "country" (traditionalist) people were inferior in multiple aspects to their more "civilized" city brethren.

Back it up or retract your statement.

You have a point voltage


There's this guy that lives by me, I always feel sorry for him more than anything, he walks around with sland flag on his shirt, few in his car and several outside of the car, I understand one flag is enough but why over compensate it with 20 flags like we didnt see the rest lol?

Typical Somali who thinks he's American.

You and FAH are remarkably similar when it comes to disparaging views about your countrymen and thinking the West accepts you as anything more than a refugee.

To the rest of you: my observations of Somali people is well documented here. For further information on my views please read this article I wrote FROM AFRICA last year

Forget your two-piece grade-school article.

Back up your statement with incontrovertible evidence or retract your statement.

I wish I could express myself better in english.
What I want to say is that no person is a constant individual formed permanently by his environment.

remember that.

I agree which is where education comes to play and because of that professionalism. Notice the whole reason the individual this topic is about is different is by virtue of being education (a "professional").

More and more I tend to divide Somalis not into Darod, Isaaq, Hawiye, etc but "Professional" and "Unprofessional".
