I mean look at how educated we have become, how many languages we speak, how many cultures and ways of life we have become impacted by, and how much we have become part of the world. We are literally a nation that has become enlightened in such a short time. If only we could find a way to displace the emotive pull of tribalism inherited from our forefathers, I must say the future of Somalia looks bright even if the present situation reinforces a feeling of pessimism.

This will continue for the foreseeable future

Vo u r hilarious walaal. absolutely adorable and hilarious. I have watched you go through all the stages of trauma with distinct joy and amusement. The trauma of the fall of Somalia of course. I have watched you go through all the stages of trauma shock. First, the initial realization or shock of a never again Baare Somalia, then came the Anger,then depression and recently acceptance.(when u stopped making whinning patriotic threads and a change of attitude) Unfortunately,-- you skipped a very important part in the stages of trauma--- the denial part, a very important part which usually comes right after the shock. You started with the second stage which is Anger and progressed further down the methodical stages. I see now you are creating a delusional denial of imagining greatness and embrassing the patheticness of your brethrem, and twisting' it into positiveness. (even invoking an applause from Twisted aka Fah) Bravo my favorite seccessinist.

Of the migrants that spreadout to the wider world from places like poland, italy and ireland... what proportion ever returned to source to contribute anything significant?

Attempting to fix tribalism is focusing on the effect rather then the cause:

Most nations accelerated through the transition from rural to urban living across the globe if unassisted exhibit a pattern common to all. They attempt to apply rural mechanics, politics in an urban setting. Those whose transition was organic tend to have developed the relavent foundations to support them in new environment.

The paradigm shift required to migrate from tribalism to political idiological affiliation however slow is evident across somali soils.

No, the future has never been any bleaker!

I think all this will add more problems to the equation. Arabized Somali men won the war over westernized already. The Arabized control the crowds with the Kitab in one hand and a riffle in the other. The westernized come to Somalia and have their passports plane tickets in their pockets, just in case while the Arabized have no passport and nowhere to go back. The winners have been announced already and u ain't one of them unless your name starts with binu hebel or ibnu hebel.

lol@waryaa.

brother i was thinking the same, those people taking risks because they have nothing to loose, either fight for their ideology to die or to live, they gave it all. on other hand westernized educated ones lug na somalia lugna meshey ka yimaden. and ready to go back when things get tough and pick from where they left in the west.

in other words have options.
