What values do Somalis have?

The French have liberty, equality and fraternity. Americans have free speech and democracy.

Xeer, entrepreneurial, piety

Read up "Law of the Somalis" by Michael Van notten, you'll be amazed how advanced and ahead of the times the Xeer system is.

Look at our entrepreneurial success across the continent and in Asia. Look at how we mobilised and built so much in Minnesota in such a short space of time.

Best of all: There was a poll which found Somalis to be the most religious group/nation in the world. We are known for preserving and being masters of the Qur'an Alhamdullilah. Somali star on the flag both symbolises the 5 colonial regions uniting and also the 5 pillars of Islam, there are exactly 114 cities in Somaliweyn, reflecting 114 chapters of the Qur'an. We are intimately tied to Islam, we are an ethnoreligious group. That alone makes us stand out.

Somalia right now needs soft power so badly, that fact we are still holding the "failed state" moniker even after 12 years of clearly having a functioning (albeit immature) state. The diaspora and the locals have internalised Somalia as perpetually being in a state of collapse, so I am not surprising outsiders think that about us.

I'm actually in the process of producing a project based on this: Somalia's values: based on the excellence of Xeer system, Somalia & Bitcoin being a match made in heaven, our very nature making us the original and ultimate nomadic capitalists, where ever we go we become entrepreneurs and successful at it - we in part is due to our nomadic nature and also our ability to mobilise easily using our clan system.

Islam.

That french slogan is the principles of their religion, liberalism. That is the dominant religion in the world today especially from it origins in the west.

Somalia also has a religion, Islam. That is our principles.

- Killing eachother over useless desolate plots of land to boost our ego! Fun fact wr are probably one of few people left who still do this!
-Zero Values! because we reduced ourselves to uncivilised good for nothing disgusting cawaans with zero want for progress who needs progress when we can kill our neighbour for 3 camels and cause his clan killed some random from my clan!
-And of course lets not forget idiotically hating on eachother cause of our great grandaddies name even though we are homogenous!
