[Farah717]

When anyone asks where I am from I just say Puntland. Honestly it's so embarrassing when people ask me that question I believe we need to rebrand our country asap. Wbu guys?

I’m from Somalia. I do not shy away from saying it or feel shame. At the end of the day we can die any second so why should I be scared of how people perceive me? Also, we are Muslim. We will be returning to our lord soon. We need to be focussing on how we can be the best people through Halal means. We should not be worshiping or afraid of people and nations that have engaged in Haram means to build themselves up. By haram means I mean for e.g, like enslavement and exploiting/harming third world countries for their resources.

You're on your own with that one.

You will see Somalis openly mention Somalia when asked where they are from and not the country they live/born in , in those street interviews. Whereas their ajanabi friends shy away from it.

And they just walk around with Somalia bracelet as well from what i've seen. There really isn't a diaspora community more connected with where they are from , from what i have noticed.

Unlike other communities that lose connection with their homeland, Somalis remain engaged with their country’s affairs. It makes sense when you see the amount of investment the Somalia diaspora makes to Somalia.

I think it has more to do with the sense of belonging and togetherness we receive from it.

How can you feel ashamed in coming from a country where the people have your back? A country where people support each other, build each other up, and invest in their own success is something to be proud of.

Why is your self esteem so low you should be proud of where you came from

I can't claim it anymore since it's so cooked. I wish I could though.

Claiming your state wouldn't change anything if not make you more miserable
