why Somalis are stuck between a rock and a hard place?

Post by 2ndtoNone »

Is because Somalis are by nature Nomads and nomadics life is the only life suited to their way of life an d norms.
Since this planet (Earth) have become too small for nomadic life (borders created where one can not pass if he aint amongst the ones who made them borders)
I say lets all ( we Somalis ) just learn, evolve and get off of this planet.

The lifestyle of Somalis has drastically changed in the past 50 years (when migration from rural to urban dwellings started). Today, most of them live in urban areas, and do not lead a nomadic lifestyle.

what I am saying is that urban life is not suited for Somalis for their blood screams REEER BAADIYO ( NOMADIC LIFE). They are finding it very hard to adjust to this change for 50 plus years. The only life that will see somalis prospour and have peace is nomadic one and that is not possible untill all Somali inhabited territories in Africa come under somali rule govrned by XEER SOOMAAALI..

And for the above reason I have this MOTO: Lets all ( we Somalis ) just learn, evolve and get off of this planet.

Dude, that doesn't make a sense. It takes a few generations to fully transition from one lifestyle to another. Most Somalis of the current generation, the generation of their parents and grandparents haven't led a nomadic lifestyle.

Alternatively we can explore revolutionary options before others draw road maps that leave us chasing our own tails and existing to be the butt of all global jokes.

Observed today: Engineer, Doctor, Nurse, Dentist, Sheik, Alcoholic, Rapist, Murderer all have a single dream... To be president.

This needs to change and the way people shape thier nation is through a constitution that removes the ills of society. The title of president must be nuetered via a constitution that removes power from the president and keeps it in the hands of the people.

What is a KING without a crown? What is a president with power?

Then only those who are qualified for the job would find reason to apply. Most modern Nations initially began with a monarchy or a dictatorship prior to building the foundation to transfer power to the people or at least give the impression that there is people power. Case in point the African countries all turning out to be dictatorships that the world accepts as it is the only way to build the foundation.

In modern Nations, the people are powerless. Power is exercised by the president, government, corporations, etc--without regard to the people's wishes. For instance, a US president can go to war, invade/occupy a country, use the budget however he seems fit, etc--without consulting congress, the people who elected him, etc. So, things aren't how you picture it.
