Somali’s are one of the most homogeneous people in the world, in general and especially in Africa. With great historical background and opulent religious heritage, they are one of the most infrequent kinds in Africa. But with all this there is one setback that has perpetually been part of their history and upbringing, Tribalism. Somali’s can be visually perceived as congenial people to foreigners in the Coalesced Kingdom for example, but to each other, tribalism comes into play once they come across you for the first time. In lieu of greeting you with an ‘’Hello, how are you?’’, it’s a well-kenned fact that many Somali’s approach one another by asking ‘’Yaad Teheey?’’(What are you? Or what tribe are you?). By this, they will judge you predicated on your tribe in lieu of your personality and who you authentically are.
A British colonial officer by the denomination of H. B. Kittermaster, who worked in British-Somaliland, indited the following about the Somalis: “Why do the Somalis occupy today their present position in the scale of civilization and development? This is a question which perhaps demands a passing thought. They are indubitably still primitive, having reached only a system of loose tribal organization in which even the tribal elders and herdsmen exercise but minuscule control.” 70 years down the line and Somali’s are still in the same mentality where they prioritise tribes and optically canvass that afore they pass on judgement and it’s quite lamentable.
The 4.5 formula is a system whereby Somali’s are divided into four major clans, then the other minor ones are composed together as a moiety clan. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, it’s a well-kenned fact that a cabinet of over 90 positions had to be composed in order to gratify every clan and sub-clan which is dismal and unacceptable. Even The Cumulated Kingdom, a super power in today’s world only has 23 Cabinet ministers, which authentically does exemplify the way some Africans run their countries and how problematic tribalism is.
The most perturbing authenticity is that Somali’s have endured the most painful chapter in their history and when you would take all the suffering and onslaught as a raison d’être to get more proximate together and coalesce, tribalism is the first thing they turn to and commence to preclude themselves from other tribes, such as Somaliland and Puntland has done, by no designates am I criticising the move of the Somalilanders. It is authentically disappointing when US Library of Congress publication verbally express: “Somali society has retrogressed to an amassment of warring clans reminiscent of pre-industrial times.” It’s virtually a furtive insult to Somali’s that they haven’t yet evolved and shouldn’t be put in the same bracket as the other ‘developed ‘western countries.
If Somali’s abolished tribalism and converge moreover amalgamate, it’s believed that they could achieve great things, economically furthermore withal build a great nation, if not the greatest in Africa. Mr. Kittermaster who verbally expressed when he was verbalizing about the Somalis and their future: “But these people are by no denotes unintelligent or decadent. It is probable that they must be regarded as among the most virile and keenly intellective of any African peoples.” He then concluded by affirming: “Their astuteness and their keen facility as traders mark them out as capable of development, but there appears to be diminutive hope of a radical transmutation in them unless it is possible to ravage the camel involute.”
The solutions have been addressed many times and have been ignored repulsively, there comes a time when man asks himself, will Somali’s ever tackle this impediment blocking them of better and thriving days to come? And the question is very hard to answer because you
genuinely want Somali’s to progress to a better future but we cannot optically discern that transpiring in the near future haplessly. All Somali’s can do now is obviate future Siad Barre’s and Mohammed Farah Aidid’s, these are the very men that led the failure and warfare of Somalia, if there were to be replica’s of them in future, the prospects of Somalia will look revoltingly faint and that’s something no one wants to optically discern.
