If The Somali Civil War Never Happened, Where Will You Be Today?

[AbrahamFreedom]

My mum's family lost everything in the war. My maternal ayeyo is asharaf so they took everything by force and threatened her since awowe was dead and my hoyo and uncles were kids. My dad didn't want to be associated with his corrupt family after the war, so he moved to carabaha to pave his own path..

I didn't mean you or Darods but all Somalis.

I would have been privileged. But Alhamdulilah!

My parents grew up in xamar. So i would be a xamar girly if civil war never happened. Its so strange to think about. Id be a whole different person.

if everything went well and Somalia developed well in another timeline it'd be similar but still so strongly different it's kinda scary. I probably wouldn't be able to speak English, I don't think I'd be as independent and focused on my studies. makes you think about how much of your personality is cultural.

In the army for sure. Or a successful businessman

*Somali Revolution. May Allah grant all the martyrs Jannah!

I’d be in a beautiful house near the beach in moqdisho. Unfortunately some randoms took it by force and my family still can’t get the house back

Yeah, I wouldn't be so obsessed with going to a high ranking school or being the best if I didn't grow up in the west.

My family lived in Xamar in an upper middle income household. I'd probably follow in their footsteps educated and a professional in government or running successful businesses traveling the world.

My parents met in a refugee camp so I wouldn’t be born
