Anyway the way I see it somalia has hit rock bottom and surely it can't get any worse than it is now. Firstly the somali people don't know who to trust and they are in the middle of a power struggle. I'll begin with the TFG, I believe that these bunch of old men are all fighting for the top seat just to pocket the large amounts of $$ they will receive from the international community which is supposed to be the country's income. Whether it be Shariif or Cabdilaahi Yusuf they are all the same and the higher up you are in the TFG, the more power obssesed and money hungry they are to get to that top post. Even an idiot can realise that the TFG has no credibility in the fact that they are chosen along clan lines aka the infamous '4.5'. Also if the recent bomb in xamar was by the TFG or someone within them then this only highlights my point that they would go to any lengths to get that top seat.
Now I'll move on to Al Shabab, Xisbul Islam and all other similar groups, I am not sure what to believe about these groups because the majority of the news regarding them is either falsely misquoted or just plain lies. However there is no denying that these groups are unjust, because not even the strongest supporters of them can deny that these groups have convinced boys from the US and UK to fight in a 'jihad' or even some times blow themselves up with others - like in the case of beledweyn. Anyway what I'm trying to say is that, although lies have been said about them, they are misguided and have no plans to achieve peace in somalia. What I mean is that they do practice sharia but they don't follow it fully - they agree with suicide when it is clearly xaraam in Islam, they punished people according to the sharia but they have also included innovations such as they cut the hand of thieves but then they also take pictures of the hand pointing to the certain aayahs. Another thing is that they punish the adulterers which I agree but do they punish both of the adulterers? and do they have the four witnesses, who have never missed a salaah and have never told a lie, who witnessed the adulterers committing the act? Bear in mind this is why during the times of the prophet(SCW) that this punishment was so few because of these conditions. Even after all this, this isn't the reason why I believe that these groups aren't the solution to somalia. My reason is simple, to support a group you have to trust them fully and I cannot support a group that hide their face. If they truely believe that they are on the right path they wouldn't need to hide their faces, they only have to take an example of our beloved prophet(SCW) and his companions.
Finally I would like to give an advice to you all, me included, in that we should do our utmost best to help our people in anyway possible instead of being cyber warriors. Insha'allah we should all look to go back home at one stage of our lives to help out, those of you doing degrees use your education as a tool to help out, and those looking to go to Uni I would advise you to choose a degree that would benefit you and most importantly your people e.g. they need doctors, nurses, engineers, teachers etc.
