Tell me something positive about Somalia

[black velvet]

If we expect people like Ms.Erudite, Fah and my nephews to be proud of being Somali or even Hyper to be more intune with his Somali self and not always say 'dad adi maha' then we need actual positive things about our country to celebrate even if it's in our past.

Is it enough to just like gobilee, dhanto, muqmad and canjeero?

- So if you have a positive fact then state it. I will drill my parents when I get home. I mean there must be something right?

- If you have something negative to say then keep it in your head. I can promise you that we've all heard it before and you will have zero marks for originality.

ps google is not helpful

Somalia has a rich history, from ahmed gurey, to northeastern sultanates, to the dervishes in south and north, to the somali youth league.

Focus on the history of somalia, there is a lot to be proud of there.

The rational portion of the ICU is now pro-government. At least in my mind this gives a certain amount of credibility to the ICU's peace and clean-up campaign in Hamar prior to the "peacekeeper" occupation. It would be an even more positive step to see a return to that effort.

Al Haram are beginning to be seen with their true colors.

Bv, culture is our most important asset and analog to our cherished past history. you can find alot in our culture that is both comforting and entertaining. personally, i like our gabayo and suugaanta. it varies into my parts like the dhaanto, baraanbur, heeso, maahmaahyo, etc. i think within these acts and sayings we have what somalis want to be but somehow cant. everytime i read a maahmaah the first thing that comes to mind is 'why arent somalis using this' and how come this is not prevalent in our culture. if you go the gabay is where all our history lies from intii soomalia ka hore iyo inta danbe both of rivalries and victories, independency and indecencies, of the civil war and the thereafter. i always find time to come back to these things when i feel sorry for my country or people. i just wish we could harness and manipulate our furious loyality to our clans so that it is manifested in the goods and sayings that history has recorded. i am also proud of our culture when i see people like andrejewski and I.m lewis and the russian reporter going back to our country and the diapora community to gather our culture and maahmaahyo. or when i see some white person in europe or america learning our language and thinking they have accomplished and adopted or learned the language of a superior race. i am also immensely proud when i see the oromos that are dressed, act, and eat, and talk like we do. these people have essentially embraced the somali culture and costume.

i see you are learning alot from snet, do doubt, the consequence of openning every thread, but selective next time. read people like Kambuli and others that talk about the rightousness and rightness of our culture than the hateful and despicable acts of hutuking

there is TONS

what amazed me is how most Somalis learned how to read and write the newly developed Somali literature within a year Somali literacy rate grew from 5% to 90% within a year shortly after we created the Somali script

Firefly not really that tends to just cause trouble.

Guys, thank you. Any good books that you would recommend? There's loads of information on the internet but it mostly seems a bit biased.
