1. Southern Somalia is under foreign occupation through the Bantu-Ethiopian AMISOM coalition. Somaliland and Puntland are essentially colonial administrations of Ethiopia and answer directly to Addis.
2. Federalism is an Ethiopian sponsored political stratagem to further polarize and divide Somalis and heighten clan-feuds through territorial and border disputes. Also, it’s intended to create easily controlled Bantustans and Trojan horses like the Kenyan satellite state of Jubbaland.
3. Majority of Somali politicians are political prostitutes that sell their people, country, religion and dignity to the highest bidder. They’re nothing but condoms used by Ethiopia and Kenya to rape Somalia.
4. Salafi/Wahhabi Islam has changed the religious and cultural landscape of Somalia, and has made inroads in supplanting traditional Somali culture with Arab culture.
5. Somalis in the diaspora have failed to successfully adapt to their host countries. Unemployment, divorce, welfare, gangs and gun violence have become endemic in our communities. There are many successful and hardworking Somalis, but this is being overshadowed by the myriad social problems.
6. Somalis continue to practice clannism, though when asked what destroyed their country and has made them lowly refugees will point to clannism. It’s a bizarre form of cognitive dissonance, which can only be explained by pathological masochism (love of self-inflicted pain and suffering) or low IQ.
7. Many Somalis are naïve to the ills of liberalism and feminism, and assume all arguments made against the left-ward societal drift is inspired by Wahhabist clerics who want to control women like chattel. These Somalis fail to step away from their idealism and actually look at how liberalism and feminism has ravaged the social landscape of the West, consigning the traditional family, organic culture and conservative morals to the dustbins of history.
8. Many Somali women have given up on Somalia, Somali culture and Somali men. That’s because the primary concern of women is their well-being and the well-being of their offspring. The lofty ideals of loyalty to one’s country, culture and people is generally the preserve of men. Whenever something doesn’t serve women and fails them they bail, and in their eyes Somalia and Somali men have failed them. This is the nature of women, and they can’t be faulted for it. It’s the mens responsibility to make them proud believers again. (of course not all women are like this. Shout out to all the proud Somali queens out there
)9. No one clan is more clannish than others, or has a greater propensity for evil than others, because all Somalis share a common culture. So it makes no sense to make generalizations about specific clans and then pompously expect that it doesn’t apply to one’s own. I know for example that if the roles were reversed and the Daarood were ruling Somaliland and an Isaaq subclan minority was residing in Buuhoodle, Laascanood etc that we’d be up to the same bullshit that the Dhulbahantes r up to today. All Somalis clans are the same, and they’re all retrograde, atavistic relics that command the hearts and minds of our people.
10. Somalis are a strong and resilient people. This gives me hope that we can overcome what looks like insurmountable problems. I didn’t mean to be all doom and gloom, but this is the reality of our situation as it stands today.
