Lets Change The Future, A Person At A Time.

 

 

There are two types of change for the future of Somalia:

 

1. Negative Change. (from a desirable state, to an undesirable state)

 

2. Positive Change. (from an undesirable state, to a desirable state)

 

There are two ways to bring the above changes.

 

1. Revolutionary. ( An abrupt and violent Way.).

 

2. Evolutionary. (A natural and peaceful Way.)

 

 

So we have a matrix of four possibilities:

 

1. Evolutionary Positive Change

 

2. Evolutionary Negative Change

 

3. Revolutionary Positive Change

 

4. Revolutionary Negative Change

 

 

There are two camps with two different visions for the future of Somalia:

 

1. Islamic Vision.

 

2. Secular Vision.

 

 

Here Positive and Negative change are seen relatively different depending on the perspective.

 

A positive change for the Islamic Vision, is seen as a negative change by the Secular Visionaries.

 

A Positive Change for the the Secular Vision is seen as a negative Change by the Islamic visionaries.

 

 

As an Islamic visionary, my objective in this thread, is the Evolutionary Positive Change

 

Which is usually desirable:

 

1. When the very existence of our faith is not in danger.

 

2. When there are choices of legitimate peaceful venues to realize one's vision of positive change.

 

However, when a believer feels that his faith is slowly melting in the heat of the New World Order"caused by the Hot Artificial Wars as opposed to Cold War" like the melting ice of the Antarctic glaciers, violence appeals as a necessity to revive the dying or dormant faith of the faithful, like applying an electric jolt to revive a cardiac attacked heart.

 

In the face of the unfolding events in Somalia, the foreign intervention ( By the Way, in case the Media has confused you, "Foreign" means Ethiopians, Ugandan and Burundi Soldiers, financed by the US and EU), different people, depending on their personality and character, prefer to change the future of Somalia through Militancy or Advocacy.

 

As a person, Advocacy appeals to my nature, not that I believe that militancy in the face of occupation is wrong, but, without effectively communicating one's legitimate grievances, in parallel with an active resistance on the ground, its possible that a great cause is painted by the prostitute media as as a rebellion without a purpose against a legitimate government when the opposite is true.

 

Which brings us to the current topic:

 

Advocacy: How To Change The Future Of Somalia, One Person At A Time.

 

You see Nomad Paesano, no matter how much sympathetic you are to "Islam-Is-The-Solution" slogan, if you are not already in the trenches resisting unjust, illegal and immoral occupation and indiscriminate mass murder of civilians to enforce an implant an unpopular government dedicated to please its foreign sponsors more than Allah and the interest of its people, your sympathy will not help bring any positive change unless you supplement the volunteering sacrifices of those spending their lives for the freedom of their country with an active advocacy to show the world the plight of tyranny and oppression that befell our nation with the approval of nations who care about the welfare of cats and dogs more than the human suffering (Based on their GDP spending, due to high demand, a New Pet Airlines for dogs and Cats was recently inaugurated in the US)

 

In my opinion, even in the absence of Militancy, advocacy can indeed be powerful and effective if its persistent and wise, people, after all, are rational, and they respond favorably to reason than to sheer force.

 

Today, our Somalia community is divided in its vision of the nation's future and how to bring about a positive change. Great many of us have the vision of a prosperous and peaceful Somalia, but, the problem lies in how to accomplish this great vision, specially when Somalis are scattered around the world as refugees struggling to adjust to a new habitat and culture while working very hard to save every penny to help their starving relatives back home, divided up along abominable clan allegiances, while many of them also suffer from mental sickness due to continuing adversity and social drugs addiction (Khat, Qat).

 

The final positive change for Somalia will greatly depend on the sum of gradual positive changes in its make up, its communities abroad, its cities, its villages, its tribes, its families and its individuals.

 

So, the first step to change the future of Somalia, is to positively change every individual Somali, one Somali at a time! a monumental task, for which I humbly dedicate this thread.

 

You see Nomad paesano, the mess we see in Somalia today is the result of cumulative individual or group mistakes committed by our forefathers and foremothers in the past.

 

The mess in which we Somalis find ourselves, did not just happen as a coincidence, it was more like driving on a bad tire on a rough terrain, with visible worn out threads for too long, but out of laziness or sheer indifference, we wished for it to go away, or that somebody else would fix it, or , we reasoned that "its actually not our immediate problem", because we can leave shitty Somalia and get a sanctuary in clean Brisbane or Columbus.

 

Today's predicament began long time ago at every Somali home, at every clown cafe and at every clan gathering.

 

People who are trusted to lead the nation are so out of touch with the real problems that face us, that they themselves are the real problem and need to be replaced, but how? and with who?

 

You see saaxib, we can't just change the buffoons who appear on TV as represneta-thieves of the people. They are here for a purpose, they are Allah's punishment and curse on Somalia for our cumulative failure in raising them right as kids, so, there they are, playing football on our nation's future with the help of foreign tag teams.

 

So, instead of self pitying ourselves, we need to have a real plan for bringing a gradual positive change to Somalia, one person at a time. The Gradual Positive Change Approach Its long, boring and will not guarantee a TV News spot that is usually reserved for violent news to attract viewers, instead, its a slow, but sure process if we have Sabr. No government on earth can stop you from changing your own bad behavior to a good one and in turn influencing others, beginning with your own family members as an exercise.

 

Because most of Somali men who have ever appeared in public life are either corrupt, mental loonies, or dead, we are mostly left with Somali women as a fall back plan B., and I dare say that they alone can lead this revival and the remaking of Somalia if they keep up their past good contributions and create the change we all want.

 

Most married, divorced, widowed Somali woman and few brave Somali Mr. Moms, have an audience of around 2-5 future Somali leaders in their households. If they can make the intention of changing the future of Somalia by changing the behavior of their kids, I believe, in 20 years, say, by 2029, we will have a new wave of reasonable and a mature wise population sprouting all over the world map to rescue Somalis from the pit in which its people dug out for themselves by choice.

 

So, my dire plea today for all Somali Women and Men, is to help change the course of events in Somalia, one little PERSON At A Time.

Positive Change To Continue.....

 

 

At the beach, kids build sand castles that reflect their world view, but it takes a single wave to destroy their vision.

 

Somalia has the second longest coastline in Africa, second only to South Africa, in addition of being one of the most biologically diverse coastlines in the World ( According to an American Marine Biologist I met), swathes of our coastline are blessed with best crystalline sands, making them ideal virgin beaches complete with coconut tree background.

 

As a child, I recall playing on the beach in Mogadishu ( Lido), and the most memorable fun on the sand used to be digging holes to bury ourselves in or building of sand castles, the first fun has visited us as a bad omen as we have buried ourselves many times over in holes we dug out for ourselves.

 

My intention in this thread is to realize the second good omen, Building Castles of hope.

 

As kids when we were busy building these sandcastles, some of us where passionately keen on building the perfect castle with creative details an ornaments that can amaze any adult, while others were on the lookout for approaching waves that break off nearby at varying intensities, so, from time to time, the castle had to be dismantled and rebuilt again just out of the reach of the waves.

 

To see a complete castle dismantled on the beach and to be rebuilt again few meters away from wave breaks is fun, and kids never consider it as a problem, but, what about of the castle is real, and the waves are foreign threats on our nation?

 

Here, we come back to the issue of Positive Gradual Change that I've previously discussed with Brother Xiinfaniin a while back.

 

The building of the Somali nation state is finding itself in a major predicament, every Stakeholder, Somali or Foreign, having his own vision of how the future Somali state should be shaped, like we say in Somali " Nin Buka Boqol U Talisay" ( Meaning, a sick person has many Doctors).

 

As a result of this awkward situation, we have a sandcastle on the beach surrounded by many stakeholders, whether rightfully or wrongfully, who all claim that they should have a say on how this Somali Castle should be reconstructed.

 

Stakeholders surrounding Somalia have different motivations.

 

Some are motivated by Threat

 

USA, EU and Ethiopia

 

 

Some are motivated by Greed

 

Warlords, Somali Politicians, US ( Oil, future Bases), EU( Nuclear Waste Dumping ground), African Union, and Ethiopia

 

While some are motivated by faith.

 

Resistance groups.

 

 

The first two stakeholders are in part responsible for the dismantling of the last Somali Castle, and remain staunchly adamant in not allowing the idea of a Sovereign Somalia to emerge from its rubble, standing proudly alone on its own feet among Sovereign nations, thus, they've collectively conspired to influence the future shape of this nation by supporting and installing the decision makers of their choice. These paid politicians have effectively sold Somalia's National interests to fulfill the strategic security demands of their donors.

 

 

After 16 years of warlord driven civil war to install a Nation-By-Foreign-Design, and their continuous disruption of the revival of the ailing Sovereign Somali state, their final intention being to break the will of the nation to make Somalis bow for foreign pressure to acccept humiliating conditions of a slave state coming out of their Genie Bottle as a panacea for all of Somalia's ills.

 

Suddenly a miracle happened, the very threat that the western donors feared for so long, and for which they have spent billions to destabilize Somalia, Emergence of a Sovereign Somali State, and Islamic at that, came out from their own Genie bottle with vengeance. The Islamic Courts Union was not only a freak accident in the western political barometers, but also a migraine headache for the US and Europe in the ICU' structure and legitimacy in the eyes of the world as a Court of Law driving a timely positive change to bring stability to Somalia in contrast with the apparent wishes and ruthless crimes against humanity perpetrated by the American supported and equipped Somali Warlord buffoons.

 

For short six months, Somalia was at peace with itself and with the world, please read Chatham House Report on Islamic Courts Union's brief rule of Somalia. Ethiopia, a client Dictatorship serving USA interests in East Africa, invaded Somalia with a tacit US approval and financial support to end a brief peace movement brought by the Islamic Courts of Somalia, which the USA policy makers saw that if not stopped at its heels, it will prove the western media's Islamophobia wrong, that Islam is always violent, and that a good governance model of an Islamic state managed by the rule of law can not exist on the planet to compete with the Western Model of governance for thought consumers.

 

This Miracle of the Islamic Courts Union would later spawn a myriad of resistance groups all vying to liberate Somalia from foreign occupation who have since coalesced as two main groups, who have succeeded as allies in driving Ethiopia out of Somalia against the wishes of the US and its allies. The two resistance groups agree on Somalia's Sovereignty but disagree on leadership and strategy toward an Islamophobic World Order.
