Amen to that!Somalia should follow maternal based citizenship, so we could get rid of tribalism. Tribalism is like the drug ice and we are the junkies. Isn't it time to be strong and quit this addiction? As my dear friend Larry illuminated above, tribalism has kept alive this wacky notion of citizenship which only bestows lip-service allegiances to the nation. Most Somalis identify with their tribal enclave rather than with the "nation". Isn't it time to get rid of it and find a better notion that can unite us all? If you answer is in the affirmative, maternal citizenship has the solution.
