Do you think somalia is doomed until real reconcilation is made?

[bluebird]

I think the reason why somalia fails time and time again is because first of all it is very unjust to the weak, those from smaller tribes and has been dominated by the big 2.

Second, there is never actually any reconcilation or accountability. Former warlords, their family, their clansmen are given new positions in government and time and time again wolves are put in sheep clothing, or as they say, "lipstick on a pig"

Third, there is cognitive dissonance when it comes qabil. On one hand people want to benefit from their clan label, use it to get into politics and other social things, defend their clansmen no matter what they do, try to shift blame on others and away from themselves, but on the other hand they want to keep their good names and not be associated with those things. So in other words benefiting from tribslism and defending and protecting criminals while at the same time pretending to be above it all or "past that" when really no one is past anything otherwise there wouldnt be a need for a 4.5 system or so many clan squirmishes

Somalia definitely needs reconciliation. It was really successful in Rwanda and look how developed and free of foreign meddling they are. As long we put off reconciliation, we remain divided and foreigners will continue to call the shots. I noticed too that the government treat qabiil as the elephant in the room. The sooner they begin clan reconciliation, the better.

Muqdisho needs another dictator. An educated dictator who will rule it iron hand, a dictator that abolishes all qabiils.

exactly. Everything is a facade, we like to think things are going good every time but the whole country is a ticking time bomb of tension

they want to pretend to be all "democratic" when there's still a lot of leftover hostility and distrust from the last 50 yrs and act like its not affecting the nation still

And the reconcilation has to come from clan elders because the government is an illusion

Since Dblock are the majority in Somalia they should be allowed to rule as history proves they are the only ones who brought prosperity.

let the majority have their way and the minority have their say
