"I Have The Somali Version of White Guilt."
- Thread starter Hodan from HR
- Start date
Thank you sister but we need reparationsI have a confession to make.
The reason I don't take offense when somalilanders and other reer waqooyi tribes talk smack about reer konfur is because deep down, I feel ashamed of some of my relatives and their active participation in the Issaq genocide. You see, some of my grandfathers worked closely with Siad Barre, unfortunately.
Although I'm happy to ran into a fellow somali, a part of me gets anxious if they are reer waqooyi. I think, I hope they don't resent me for what my relatives did. They'll be justified to, but I just hope they don't.
I've had fellow reer konfur chastise me saying "Naya dhig malihid miyaa?!" What dhig? You mean the dhig my ancestors spilled in thousands? One even told me I have "the somali version of white guilt" and to quit it because technically, I didn't kill any isaaq person.
However, for true reconciliation to happen, we, the descendants of the people who were involved in this massacre, should at least acknowledge that it was horrible, and are deeply ashamed and apologetic for what our relatives did to Isaaqs and other waqooyi tribes who were affected.
The Majeerteen ethnic cleansing happened in 1978 when Isaaq were happy with Siad Barre. Fun fact, their SNM heroes lead the genocide campaign along with MOD red berets. Bantu soldiers were also involved in attacking MJs.
Thousands poisoned, massacred and arrested. They even poisoned the wells and burnt people's houses. It was a scorced earth policy. There was no outrage by Somalis about this. In fact, nobody ever apologised or cared.
Moreover, Somalilanders deleted the Wiki pages that mentioned the MJ ethnic cleansing because they want to act like their heroes were not involved. Most importantly, they spread propaganda that they are the only victims of the brutal Kacaan regime.
@Hodan from HR, ask your family what happened during that time sis. And don't fall for the "we were the only victims" BULLSHIT.

To wrap up my above post (save it if you are MJ and pass on the history lesson).
Do you think those Isaaq, Marehan, Dhulbahante, Ogaden, Bantu or other Somalis feel guilty about the MJ ethnic cleansing?? They don't give a shit. This is what Somalis are like. Hal il kula soco kuligood.
If there is a man in charge who motivates them, they will wipe your entire family out and believe it was righteous.

Do MJ leaders talk about this? What happened to D5 ?
Daarood does not exist as a cohesive unit, never did. It is a social media lie. They gleefully took part in wiping out MJs under the order of their daddy, Siad Barre.
The civil war trauma is a more recent memory, that is why many young MJs don't know their history.
The thing with reparations is that everyone should receive them, or else itβs not fair. SL wasnβt the only injustice, and Iβm not sure if the government has enough money, since so many clans have faced injustices.
