Highest-ranking Somali in Kenya begging to not be called Kenyan Somali but Kenyan only

[Removed]

I heard they are mostly habar awal. But, they were given that land during the coloniel era. When it comes to citizenship in regards to the inhabititants of that settlement in question. As a citizen of the nation whom most were born within kenyan soil. No doubt. The identity in regards to country should be chosen first which shows a primary indicator of incussion and commonality amoug different communities nationwide. Therefore, they should claim kenyan nationality because they were born in kenya which makes them a citizen of the country. Somaliland is just their ancestorial country. Therefore, it should be seen as a secondary factor after nationality because it is not a shared identity .But, a unique one amoug the masses from which the people originate from.

This is bizzare thinking. The people in question arent even muslim majority why would anyone relate and identify more with them then their own brethren.

Siyaasad is siyaasad. Somalis are entitled to fight for their rights in the countries they live in.

It does not matter about religion. Religion is considered to be merely an identity as well. It's fair to say Somalis are getting treated better in African countries as opposed to ME, when taking into account the totality of the experiences and in most cases there seems to be a shared outcome of unfortunate events that left them dissatisfied. Despite, that shared belief system which is the common factor that binds them together which is islam. But, Kenya is a multicultural country in which many languages are spoken. In addition, Discrimination is not that systematic in comparison to ME countries. My community in Kenya which is the Habar Awal settlers seems to me that they love being Kenyan.
