Somali Men: Diaspora vs Locals

Post by waryaa »

There's a new tribal war between diaspora folks and locals that's brewing in Somalia. Locals accuse the other of many things including but not limited to inflation/making everything from daily expenses to weddings prohibitively expensive, snatching beautiful girls from their lovers, etc, etc. It is a multidimensional war that affects everything from politics to business to being more popular among women. I don't remember his name but one politician said famously "Diaspora cab drivers filled the city with false credentials".

The second front is between Diaspora subclans: near diaspora (folks who left Somalia briefly to get a western passport) and qurbawis (westernized somalis). The former subclan is accusing the later of importing a host of bad habits including "mixing men and women at the dinner table :)"

You may not know now but you have more things in common with your worst foe here on snet or in your neighborhood than your cousins and relatives back home.

loool wallahi its extreme on the internet, type any somali clan on twitter search bar and ull see teenager hijabis on the qabiil tip

if qabil talk was tolerated in public, you best believe every somali youngster would be fadhi ku dirir

Only people who have never seen what qabyaalad is capable of and it's bloodshed take qabyaalad lightly. Almost every other day some kid makes me say to them "CHILD PLEASE!, wtf do you know about qabiil?! You have been in the west all your life, STFU kid and go eat your chicken nugget and drink your apple juice!"

warya,

Correct me if I'm wrong but its actually the Reer Europe Somalis who are more responsible. American Somalis for the most part work really hard for their money, while the Reer Europe Somalis just get welfare. The locals are not dumb and can tell that the ones who come from America Vs the European ones. Even in B Xaawo My bro was telling me the locals understand America lacag doesn't fall from the sky.

Also in general a lot of diaspora Somalis are absolutely retarded, and do not assimilate to the culture of where they go. They show off, don't keep a low profile and do not come across as grounded and down to earth.

Not to mention also Faaraxs who are generally bumbs in the west and got nothing going in their life come to Africa to marry girls that they cannot communicate with and understand, with thousands of dollars they didn't even earn as leverage. After that they'll divorce them in a sec. Why can't these guys marry the millions of somalis girls in the west that are looking? I heard in Kenya Parents have caught onto this and are more cautious in giving their girls away to suspicious, coming from nowhere Somalis.

You can't afford to travel if you are on welfare in Europe, this whole notion that EU somalis mostly on welfair is myth. You American Somalis have poor insight into worldwide somali communities, that cause you guys travel less. All the new business startsup by diaspora in the Somalia is by Reer Europe, cause we are rich like that nicca :lol:

I don't blame the locals. These Diaspora are very annoying. I remember seeing how they would flaunt their wealth and treat the locals with contempt. I always made a point never to stick out and always showed the locals respect.

About the chicks, I know where the locals are coming from. These guys from overseas have made marriage expensive and ruined the fine crop of local chicks. I know how that it is. I lose my first love to some bastard from London back in 1992 when I was merely a broke arse Farax. I understood her need for leaving the shiddy prospects back home but hurt as fock.

I honestly don't understand why those Diaspora who failed in life in the West go to Somalia to fight for government jobs. These Diaspora are pompous idiots who want to bully you into paying respect and calling them "Saltul Wasiir". They try to exhort you and forget their place. How can a guy from Baari try to exhort AbdiWahab252 in 3piano at the Saxafi Hotel and try to get away with it ? Needless to say, I had to check him and got someone to call his boss who said warya stop your shid now.

Snatching beautiful chicks, inflation, expensive wedding and cetra and cetra are all crimes against locals. That's why Somali youth die in the seas in search of a good life. :(
