Somalia has been ranked 4th among countries whose people are kind to strangers despite years of conflict, terrorist attacks and general unrest. The latest finding by CAF World Giving Index 2016 states that more people than ever are carrying out random acts of kindness towards strangers.

The CAF World Giving Index measures the average percentage of people in each country who donate money, volunteer or help a stranger. This year, 140 countries were surveyed. Interesting enough, of the global top10, four countries are of the fragile states index; They are ranked as follows

1. Iraq 81%
2. Libya 79%
3. Kuwait 78%
4. Somalia 77%
5. United Arab Emirates 75%
6. Malawi 74%
7. Botswana 73%
8. Sierra Leone 73%
9. United States of America 73%
10. Saudi Arabia 73%

While we might expect a collective crisis to bring out the worst in people – think opportunistic collaborators or war-time looters – it seems that most people rally round and support others. “It appears that increasingly fragile civil societies, coupled with greater need among the population, encourages more people to be responsive out of sheer necessity,” the CAF report argues, World Economic Forum reports

This kindness is what led to a significant non-ethnic Somali population in Somalia.

I wrote akhi. Do Somalis say akhi to each other? You knew I was referring to the Arabs

The civil war is an anomaly that will eventually pass. Our generous spirit will shine through soon enough.




We must never give in to hopelessness. Always strive to better our people brother.

 

[Tenacious]

No Arab country auto to not be in the list period. Iraqis should spread some of that kindness to the Muslim black minority living in Iraq.

Somalis are indeed generous people Wallahi. I remember back in college, my car broke down while snowing, phone died and luckily I stopped Infront of a Somali neighbourhood, I knocked one of the houses and a Somali Hooyo opened the door, invited me in, gave me a phone to call the towing truck and my brother, made shaah for me and welcomed me to her house. She even insisted when my brother came to pick me up, that we should stay for dinner, we met her kids.

 

[Rooble]

Of course were kind to strangers heck our myths are based on foreign founding pedophiles. The only people on Earth who are kinder to strangers than to themselves lol

This kindness is what led to a significant non-ethnic Somali population in Somalia.

True, their kindness which led Bantu to demand their to be president and dare to change Somalia 's history. There are Bantu in whole Arab countries and in country like Mauritania they outnumbered the ethnic Berber. But only in Somalia that threatened us to kill us and change our history.
