Should we create a Somali refugee training courses

And I don't mean like minimum wage type of trade I mean for example : coding and other highly pursued trades . And request the somali diaspora to donate their used computers . And request the somali businesses to pay the salary of the instructors

Somalis are individualists, more so then even Westerners.

They will only donate to projects that benefit their clan and their clan alone or pay blood money and only some Somalis will do this. Not the majority.

my generation can distinguish between clan affliation and what's good for the collective . If not them we need to push the next or current generation towards that goal . How do we do that by way of media . By instilling a nationalist view point .

AJ is right unfortunately

Its not about not having a nationalist point of view that is the problem. But somali clans due to the civil war have trumendous mistrust and Then there is the section youth who do not identify with being Somali beyond it being a blank slate label.

That is why reconciling the issues between clan and strengthen & promoting the Somali identity is crucial.

At this point any programs or centers/facilities that get started will just die out abruptely, due to lack of support and indifference.

We got to come to a point where are racial as much as it is clan as well
