    some somali people say we are not african because we dont look like other africans but what these people dont know is there is diffrent types of people in africa know as bantu, cushite, nilote, semite, they all look diffrent to each other some darker than others and some lighter, bantus are know to have dark skin nilotes are known to have a very darkskin and very tall people one of the tallest people on earth and cushite are the group where somalis come under along side the oromos and the bejas and other people so i hate when somalis say our ancestors where arabs and i dont agree with it. if you dont agree with me feel free to try and change my opinion on this

    😂 Somalis are wondering nomadic barbarians looking for water and grass to feed their goats and camels. Somalis are nobodies not even their language has a written text to explain what a Somali is. They say they are not African because they feel it makes them feel better about themselves. When in truth they are worst off than an African. This is the truth.

  2. look kid I will give it to you straight... Somalis are f*cked up. They do not come from a civilisation (they have no documented history to tell them who they are) only a foreign religion written in a language not their own. Strange is it not? The religion they worship is of a foreign origin and not Somali? This is further proof that Somalis are a lost people with no map to guide them back to reality. They are wondering nomadic barbarians who converted to an Arab religion by force because Somali forebears were too weak to resist (people with civilisation usually resist invaders). So the racism and xenophobia you see from your fellow Somali is simply their inferiority complex expressing itself. They don't know how the world works (white supremacy) and are too dumb to know how dumb they are. This is were the pain comes from, they don't have the strength to at least be honest with themselves. Now people on this forum will claim something else but believe me I have studied Somalis very closely and they are extremely weak in the areas that matter most. So relax...

    The cultural argument against development has been thoroughly debunked. All agricultural societies possess backward traits before they industrialize. It is the industrialisation process that makes them more efficient, punctual etc. The British in the late 19th century considered the Germans lazy, inefficient and stated they would never amount to much. Today, German efficiency and engineering prowess is well known. Read Ha Joon Chang's fantastic book, Bad Samaritans. In particular read the chapter he talks about cultural traits and how they supposedly influence industrialisation.

    All nations go through civil wars. The Chinese Warring States civil war lasted over 300 years. Non-stop warfare, states declaring independence, you name it, they had it. It makes our 30 year civil war seem like a trifle.

    Here is the thing, Somalis are not agricultural by nature and never developed along the lines of a traditional society. What do I mean by traditional? Well take any major power today, Europeans, Russia, Japan, China, Korea, Perisa, India..ect you have a people who started out as nomadic and then settle down near a river and over time built farms which increase the population settlement and then you have your first city. This first step is very important and cannot be ignored.

    What comes with a city settlement? Well, you get specialisation. What is specialisation? It is simply a process were society allocates different technical abilities to various people within a class order. Good at making swords? you become the forging class. Good at making fabrics? you become the merchant class. Good at farming? Good at fighting? Good at building monuments? Good at writing? you get the picture. Each specialist is allocated a position in society and those specialist form schools that teach the next generation. Now comes the governing part. Who should rule this kingdom, as more cities are built, who can govern this place? Well the priest class convince society that a monarch should rule as divine right from god. The people accept this because they are use to functioning in a system bigger than themselves, so for the time being nobody questions this. So you have the beginning of a civilisation with a strong foundation which will produce a civil society that i am talking about.

    Somalis have always been wonders in a vast land populated by dry riverbeds and arid conditions. Their culture is nomadic and focused around life of a nomad not a civilisation with a written language. This is also a very important point that cannot be hidden from view. The Jubba and Shebelle have no monuments nor stone cities near them, the only source of constant water within Somali lands. They don't even have well developed agricultural farms going back 1,000 years (remember agriculture was developed in 10,000 BC). Why? Because as I have stated before Somalis did not have core development values as other societies that have rivers running through them. This is the root of Somalia's problems, they are not a settled society and cannot function without their nomadic traits. You cannot simply undo what Somalis have known for thousands of years. The transformation will happen but not within my lifetime.


  4. I forgot to add that Japan's clan system is similar to Somalia's clan structure. Japan went through a period know as the "Sengoku" a 150 years of clan warfare between various shogunate warlords. The war initiated, "the Warring States period". This period was a long, drawn-out struggle for domination by individual daimyō, resulting in a mass power-struggle between the various houses to dominate the whole of Japan. It came to an end under the Tokugawa shogunate and Japan experienced 260 years of peace.

    That is almost 400 years for Japan to sort out its problems without outside interference and build a solid cultural foundation and unite the country. Somalia is not anywere near that level. We are stuck in the "warring states" period.


  5. Somalis don't have the temperament for industrialisation (you need a strong history rooted in something other than religion). What you're speaking about is a "meiji restoration of Japan type" leap...not going to happen.

    Somalis are not philosophers, scientist, artist or builders of monuments.That is the hard truth.


  6. Aidiid was a pure psychopath, if he had the power to invade the north we would have and crushed anything in his sights.  Ali Mahdi was simply a coward who found himself with weapons and a strong backing from a group calling themselves manifesto (another Ethiopian outfit?). Mahdi would never raise his head if there was a strong management group in charge of the crisis. Old_Observer is right all those rebel groups SNM, USC, SSDF ect all had their origins in Ethiopia as a way to topple the Somali government and create chaos for their enemy (Somalia) and the foolish Somalis fell for it. There are no heroes in the Somali story just degenerate thugs jostling for powerful positions...no honour.


  7. Do you think the northern clans reconciliation process was smooth? They had many inter-clan fighting between the various Habr sub clans in the 1993-1996. So the process is not going to be smooth but ruff and bumpy, but in the end Galmudug will reach a point where fighting is no longer the way. How do we say in Somali? "dubista waa ku dhawaad". The baking is almost ready, and Galmudug is undergoing that baking process.
