You're a breath of fresh air. One of the most insightful people here. We need more of you and less of everyone else.I disagree with Webiqua Somalia is not at the bottom of every metric, it has the highest internet speed in Africa, 2nd high electricity rate in East Africa, holds the regions nr 1 university, most advanced mobile banking and telecommunications, is the richest country in East Africa if you take the estimate of 2.8 billion mobile transactions a month would equal 93 billion GDP and per capita of 5-6.200 making it a upper middle income country, with one of Africa's most vibrant private sector.
So Somalia has lots of opportunities and most of the country is safe and governed , its not only the reason why many Ethiopians flock to Puntland and Somaliland (Mogadishu is a bit difficult to cross border into due the tight security)
But it's also the reason why you have Syrians, Yemenis, Sudanese coming to Somalia as refugees and integrating smoothly

Palestinians are all welcome, it doesn't matter what they believe about us , as long as we know the truth about ourselves and our country its what matters. We don't discard our values and humanity to play bigot racist warfare over keyboards, it doesn't mean we worship or see any group as superior.
Arabs have a reputation for racism and indifference , Somalis have a reputation for being friendly, kind, charitable and generous. Somalis are more steadfast and unapologetics with their religion, Arabs will move out of their country tio discard their religion in the west so they can be more accepted by Islamophobes. We are not the same mindset wise.
I bet all the displaced groups i have mentioned had the same pre-concieved media induced beliefs about Somalia before they went there. So let believe and say what they want.
