Are dadkeena spiritually unwell?

How can a society that’s ”religious” be so dirty? There’s dirt and litter everywhere.. in every somali city.. seems like there’s extreme apathy towards the shared public space.

How do you reverse this?

It's not really apathy. There's just no garbage disposal system really in place. Saw this issue in Bosaso when I visited it during the summer of '23. Plastic bottles everywhere, even on some of the beaches. The locals weren't anymore fond of it if you prodded them than you.

But, as other users have discussed, Somalia has a something of a growing and booming private sector but the public sector is dead. Government doesn't do very much in terms of infrastructure.

It's not average everyday people's jobs to setup trash cans all across town and hire garbage disposal dudes and pay for their trucks and waste treatment plants.

Understood. But how can you say it’s not apathy.. how is there qashin outside of peoples homes and they don’t seem to be bothered?

To be fair, what are they supposed to do? Throw all that trash into their trunks and dump it outside of town or in the sea? It's really a governmental issue. And most everyday people back home are too busy trying to get by day to day to organize around fixing this as a community somehow. Ain't nobody got time for dat wayaay.
 
From what i've seen the 3 mayor cities in Somalia , Mogadishu , Garowe and Hargeisa are pretty clean. They have invested in waste management. Whenever they do those walk through and drive through videos of certain cities you will find African commenters underneath being surprised by how clean they are.




There are exceptions ,usually in abandoned places or outskirts. But major public areas are usually clean because of better waste disposal system.
