Tribalism: The Heritage we should renounce

As a political magnitude, or as a group claiming to play a political role, the “Qabil Warriors” group has presented its Theses on the Present Situation. It is a good custom to give a coherent and complete exposition of the principles underlying one’s views and tactics. And this good custom has helped to reveal the mistake committed by our fathers, mothers, grandparents, aunties, uncles etc, because the mere attempt to argue and not to declaim Tribalism exposes the unsoundness of their argument, which either revolves around their tribe or that "Qabilism has done its job, its good, only bad people make it bad" argument.

The first thing that strikes one is the abundance of allusions, hints and evasions with regard to the old question, what is the purpose of Qabils? and does its ills outweigh its benefits? The Qabilist Warrior dare not put the question in a straightforward manner. They flounder about in a comical fashion, pile argument on argument, fish for reasons, plead that “on the one hand” it may be so, but “on the other hand” it may not, their thoughts wander over all and sundry subjects, they try all the time not to see that they are defeating themselves. The Qabilist are very careful to put feelings on their arguments: My brother was killed by them, they did this to me, I want to protect my land, but they discreetly refrain from mentioning The millions killed because of the very nature they think. They have invented a “theory” that the fighting was carried by “the other Qabil”, while it he or she was only “Defending himself; They were the aggressors”. . . . Can one do anything but laugh at this? In an utterly childish manner, the Qabilist talk of their clan, why they hate the other clan, what they will do. They try to conceal their own faces, they conceal the very fact that what they are doing is both wrong and morally deplorable. Believing in these dimwitted fantasies of our forefathers and and the creation of Qabilism is a tragic flaw at best, stupendous.

Nevertheless, in spite of all the above-mentioned declarations and evasions of the Qabilist on the question of war and peace, the plain and obvious truth manages to come to light. The followers and believers of these ineffectual Systems are compelled to admit there is something wrong with the what they do and how they act and behave. ( they will agree with you when you bring up this issue for what it is and may be even call for the end Qabilism and then return to very act he condemned )

Now this is a fact. Here is something that has decisive significance. That is why those who opposed the conclusion of peace and prosperity for Somalia were unwittingly playthings in the hands of the imperialists [i]( Ethiopia, The Arabs, The U.S and even Kenya)[/i] and fell into the trap laid for them by the imperialists. For, until the breakdown of the Qabil based society, nothing will ever change and Somalia will continue to be divided and be the playthings of the Imperialist that surround Somalia. Until Somalia embraces this fact, nothing will change. if Somalia were to be taken to a doctor, he will need to recognize and evaluate the problem of his patient. then he will have to diagnose and start the treatment process. Somalis will have to recognize that Qabilists, Qabils, and any other ill associated with Qabilism are the disease, we need recognize now and evaluate the problem. We need to correct ourselves then and Treat the problem. Without these steps, Somalia will never achieve the glory it deserves.
