you guys see how everyone is outraged (and rightfully so) at the crimes that happen to somali migrants in libya. but I can't stand the false bravado and pseudo unity
everyone is soooo ready to rally against libyans and any other foreigners they forget one key issue, SOMALIS ARE DOING THE SAME TO EACH OTHER!!!!! you can talk about how "somalis are hard against each other but soft on foreigners" or how "we need to be united" but its all empty because who ever is saying that will later celebrate the death of another somali
as long as their people get to do the killing. So when are some of you gonna admit you dont care about somali blood and that its cheap to you and that you just dont like the idea of "ajnabis" doing it?
I know some people here think its cute an funny thing to joke about but Ill give you a good example of something very similar to the migrant trafficking situation in brutality, like the civil war. how many people here had family members who were killed, raped, violently attacked or otherwise had their wealth and property stolen? why is it okay for some sick people on here to joke ahout this when if affected so many people in horrible ways and the wounds are still fresh? and these same people will turn around and wonder why we "arent united"
I very much understand that this occur often , but who is more hypocritical the one hysterically laughing at the suffering of a fellow Somali but weep a river if Palestinians were killed by the IDF , I very much agree with that statement a Somali will not value himself despite all of that
He will certainly have an utmost respect for outsiders since he values a Non Somali life the most , it's due to clan chivalry etc
However the circumstances that lead to this catastrophe shouldn't be blamed on Somalis in particular
I survived the civil war , witnessed clan members killing and torture my own people , at most part I vied for revenge , and wished for their demise
but that's typical among all Somalis this vicious cycle is embedded in our brains
I see these same clan members everywhere I go and they still endorse the mass killings or tribal killings
I always had a higher regard for my countrymen despite the revenge I want to avenge
Its all the same for Somalis wherever region they inhabit the civil war caused causalities in their hundreds of thousands
reconciliation can occur , if Somalis were held their heads high and not bow down to outsiders
You mention pseudo nationalism perhaps it exists in your habitat Minnesota since they are generation 90's you should question them why they celebrate the first of July if they have deep hatred , then you might find the answers you are looking for, solace and closure.
But don't assume all nationalists are hypocrites some of these individuals lost something
from tragedy and are willing to reconcile like the Tutsis and Huutus
