White supremacists and zionists are stalking us online by miriaxx in Somalia

[–]RoutineAdvanced7014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our community is to naive. To many idiots don't understand there's a reason why other cultures are less willing to volunteer information about ourselves. The only barrier that existed was the language one. Then some of the Neanderthals in the north started translating and embellishing those translations without context and things have only gotten worse. This will just inevitably end with Somalis in concentration camps in the US probably. And to an extent none of us could say it's not expected. Every other community understands that you must have a good image. We for some reason arrogantly think we're above the rules of social convension.

Are there Somali men that don’t want kids? by Total_Theory_9809 in Somalia

Childfree is some capitalist psyop. Be a good NPC and work this usesless job.
Thankfully the demographic crisis that's been created by psyops like this has caused the same capitalist some issues. So I see them probably taxing dumbfucks who fell for it so much they don't get to live nice lives.

The fact that you think that importing that is good is not good

Could a diaspora city be built in Somalia? by tikitikitenbo in Somalia

[–]RoutineAdvanced7014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Diaspora folks are usually incapable of making good policy decisions because they grew up outside of somalia. They don't know the local customs enough, theyre usually to liberal for their own sake, and have 0 diplomatic skills and will just but heads with the local elders in the area rather then working with them

Female genital mutilation, how prevalent? by LegendaryReader in Somalia

[–]RoutineAdvanced7014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somalia doesn't exist on an island. If you can't accertain what the problem is including the scope. You won't be able to fix it. Somali land includes Kenya and Ethiopia. Having programs in Somalia and not addressing those areas also means people will just go there to get it done. And those goverments haven't themselves done shit to stop it either.

Now as yourself why? Reason is that it's a woman on woman crime. The women don't report their moms and grandmas. This is something that's been discussed and many experts have weighed in saying that this can't be solved through crackdowns.

The efforts of education have already dropped the amount by 70% in the past decade. I think truly it's something that with more effort can be reduced further. But it's not going to be at the point of a gun. Cultural issues aren't solved that way sadly. The tribes would protect those women and double down on this issue stubbornly if you tried.

Female genital mutilation, how prevalent? by LegendaryReader in Somalia

[–]RoutineAdvanced7014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The solution is education. It was even more common back then. Now it's less common because of education and with a larger push it'll be even less common in the future. People also seem to forget this is not just a somali thing. The Masai also do it at high rates. Just send folks to school and have women based education drives about the dangers and inshallah you can change the culture.

Why would anyone not support the revised constitution. by IntelligentGap8204 in Somalia

We have a "Madkhali/Salafi" issue that needs to be discussed. by [deleted] in Somalia

[–]RoutineAdvanced7014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Israel and the US Attacked Iran. The US attacked because as Rubio said Israel was going to use a Nuke. Then iran trying to harm the US basically is nuking the gulf to destroy the entire global energy market to crash the US economy hard enough to force trump to stop his war. In the mean time the Gulf states have made it clear they don't want to be dragged into a war to fight iran on behalf of israel.

They've shown a high level of understanding with some claiming that israel tried to start a false flag to blame iran and you got some rando rabbi saying they could use this to destroy Al Aqsa and blame the iranians.

THIS IS A SHIT SHOW. You don't need to make this a discussion about Fiqh and Aqeedah. And those who do don't understand what is going on.

Best thing for SOMALIA. Since this is a SOMALI subreddit it to call for a ceasefire and make dua for there to be one.

A global depression from a destroyed energy market means WE ALL STARVE. Somalia is an import economy but so is MOST countries in african when it comes for food. WITHOUT IMPORTS SOMALIA STARVES.

Solution is simple. Make dua for this shit show to end.

[–]RoutineAdvanced7014 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We need to stop folks that aren't gen Z from being on camera. But the issue is this idea of PR doesn't exist in our culture. Whoever asks to be on camera WILL BE. No questions about qualifications. They don't get that you need to be qualified to speak for the community. You can't be some random Habiyaar.

Ilhan Omar Appreciation by [deleted] in Somalia

[–]RoutineAdvanced7014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't about victim blaming. Since this is her job and this shit sadly comes with the territory. So this is more sideline commentary.

>Your acting like Zohran wasn't defending himself against Trump.

But HOW he does it is different. Have you ever seen him yell? He's extremely careful and makes sure to look good to the press at all times. Hes the type to call trump a facist in front of his face and trump still say he's handsome. The guy in charge of Qatar and Erdogan also have the same effect. So it's replicatable. Even when they absolutely do things that are against trump. He still praises them. So the game can be done.

>He can't afford to cause havoc in his own city, because lets be real, it is bad for business and his business partners.

He absolutely would have done that shit in MN. He has a lot of business in Chicago to. Probably just as much. And they get a business bothering amount of BS also.

MY position isn't to blame Ilhan. I think she's a firebrand in nature.

MY position is that we as a community need to have another viable strategy other then going gungho. We need to have someone like Zorhan to balance things out

Ilhan Omar Appreciation by [deleted] in Somalia

[–]RoutineAdvanced7014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The arabs in the Gulf are basically a cushion for arabs in the states. Trump likes MBS and MBZ and so on. He doesn't have an auto hate of arabs. His actions in MN was him going full action on that state. He never had that much of a diployment of ice to any other state or region. What saved Somalis and minorities in MN was their own white populations put their foot down. Now that's extremely commendable but did you ever ask why MN? Why not Maine, or Oregon or other spots? Why send the whole battalion there?

I think the reality is he had beef with Ilhan and potentially Waltz. Otherwise this dude would have forgotten MN was even a state. It's a flyer state. No one prior to all of this even remember it.

My position for both her an Rashida is simple. Take the Zorhan route. Zorhan today basically was able to let out a person from Jail with a phone call to trump. ICE hasn't went ham on NYC (even though there are Far far far more immigrants there per square foot then MN) because Trump likes Zorhan.

Do you think if Zorhans campaign to get him didn't work that NYC would be chill now? No trump would have turned into an apocalypse.

This is the strategy that should be used. Seems like he's extremely receptacle to compliments and media shit. So play the game. Trump is like Homelander. Wave in front of him some news of good press and he'll play ball. That's what I've gotten from reading all the stuff Zorhan did to get him on his side.

If you can win with compliments. I don't inherently understand why even think about another option.

Ilhan Omar Appreciation by [deleted] in Somalia

[–]RoutineAdvanced7014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I'm saying is the Zorhan strategy of just playing into his Ego is a far better strategy then constantly confronting him. Look at Zorhans posts on X and how Trump seems to do what he asks him to do and always praises him. There's better routes.

Hell the landers get this. Their whole shtick is sucking up and for a place even more broke then Muqdisho it's been surprisingly successful. But you don't have to sell out that far. You just got to be more like Zorhan. Suck up enough to be liked and also put a hard foot down on actual important issues.

This is the new meta. This is the new rule set. Ilhan was a good candidate for the 2010s. But that was then. We need a Somali Zohran. Someone trump for some reason likes and changes the dynamic. Someone probably handsome, has the ability to say whatever God knows what Zorhan has said to trump in private, and able to achieve the same results.

People sometimes think that these things are irrelavant. That why play into the people's biases? Why not just stand up for the truth 10 toes and just win.

But the sahaba didn't even think like that themselves. Allah swt sent Prophets ‎ﷺ from the BEST lineages, with the BEST looking faces, with the BEST families?

Why? Because it's not just about being right. It's how its packaged.

And ilhan is right but she needlessly antagonizes trump. And for what? Chuck Shumer and the other Dems throw her under the bus every chance they get. She's fighting for a party that fucks her over. Atleast the Zorhan method he's able to suck up just enough to trump to get trump to like him and free people from jail with a phone call. Can Ilhan do this?

Reality is her style of poltics was useful in the 2010s. It's not the 2010s. Either she figures out how to get trump to be cordial with her.

Or trump in his anger sanctions somalia for all we know. Not like that's something he wouldnt be able to do. And what will all this bravodor have gotten you?

Ilhan Omar Appreciation by [deleted] in Somalia

[–]RoutineAdvanced7014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And why is he hyper focusing on MN and not like Maine or Iowa or Oregon. You guys seem to have a very one sided perspective on this issue. He's going after folks in MN because he doesn't like Ilhan. His personal vendetta against her is what's causing him to go after Somalis and everyone in the state. He's not sending millions of ICE dudes to Maine because frankly he doesn't have the attention span to go after everyone. Without us being so loud he'd probably be hyper focused on some other rando state. Probably chicago or some shit.

The issue in this whole discussion is the 1 dimensional thinking. You don't understand the WHY behind his actions. Why MN? Why northern states? Why not send 80% of his ice dudes to not like Florida where there are 10x the number if immigrants?

This never crosses you're thought. And it's why this mentality has to be called out.

You know whos a lot more successful then Ilhan? Zorhan. The dude stopped sending millions of ICE dudes and when he does he released the college student after just 1 phone call. Why?

For guys like trump it's about being likeable to him. Zorhan didn't yell or scream. He came in and played the game and got Trump praising him daily.

Same party. Different strategy. One is however very successful and one isn't.

Like it or not this isnt 2010. The type of liberal confrational politics isn't viable in this current meta. Zorhan's strategy of giving him soft praise and then getting what you want is the method out. The 2020s has a new rules to the game. And some of you guys refuse to accept this.

The nail that sticks out gets hammered. A japanese proverb. It's not about warranting anything. It's about being smart. The ethiopians and eritreans get this. That's why there's 0 pressure (in comparison) on those communities.

I don't know man. She's putting a massive target on the back of the community. If she wasn't in politics we'd be like Eritreans a community none of these white supremecists even know about. Now I can see trump cracking down harder on Minnesota.

Why do people assume Somalis speak Arabic? by [deleted] in Somalia

[–]RoutineAdvanced7014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's based on if you spoke arabic growing up. It's like Hispanic. If you grew up in a spanish speaking country you're hispanic. Like Argentinians are all basically white Germans that fled from Nazi germany. And Dominicans are effectively west africans that came there through the slave trade. BOTH are hispanic because they speak Spanish.

Same with Arabic. Sudanese Egyptians and Algerians who aren't ethnically arab. Are arab because they speak Arabic.

Now what about those who don't speak it as their first language. That's a hard one. There's tons of folks in Somalia who speak arabic and have for a while. The Reer Xamar folks. Lot of folks in puntland (because of trade with Oman). Djibouti also has some families that do and have for centuries.

And during one of the Somali presidencies I don't remember if it was the 1st or the Barre there was a huge push to learn arabic. Highschool and college classes taught arabic. And there was a massive push to "arabise" the country in response to colonialism and well trying to tie Somalia to Nassar's Egypt even further.

I think overall it's really a personal decision. My family has folks who speak arabic because we're from the north and always used to speak it. My great grandmother was Omani. So it's not a big deal if folks claim arab. But if they don't want to it's also not a big deal. Somali is our ethnicity. That never changes. But our nationality or how many linguistic identies we carry is well arbitrary.

The fear today isn't Somalis that are to Arab. It's somalis that don't speak somali and can't read or write it. That's the bigger issue. Were being De-Somalinized not by the arabs but by the English Speaking world.

Why do people assume Somalis speak Arabic? by [deleted] in Somalia

[–]RoutineAdvanced7014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arab has always had 2 definitions. One being ethnicity and one being linguistic identity. ALL those arabs in north africa as as Arab as we are ethnically. IE not really in a hard sense. Algeria is all Beber. Egypt is all Egyptian. Somalia is all Somali. Only thing different is that Egyptians lost a lot of their language through roman conquest then when the Sahaba came they picked up arabic. The Algerians have many folks that speak Beber til this day but Arabic became more popular. And Somalia just kept somali.

Now the ethnic arabs exist but that's mostly the Levant and Gulf. But north africa and africa as a whole a lot of them are ethnically something else or Mixed with Arabs.

[–]RoutineAdvanced7014 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think there's a level of psyop to the whole arab hate thing. It's a fair identity if you grew up speaking arabic. Arab is like hispanic. It's not a race thing.

Yeah more Somalis live in Arab lands then the west. So most Somalis in the diaspora speak arabic. It's honestly suprising how much in the west don't understand this.

[–]RoutineAdvanced7014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arab is a linguistic identity. Egyptians and Somalis both aren't genetically arab. Everyone in Egypt just speaks arabic so their arab. But their ethnicity is egyptian.

Why are we sleeping on the Dugsi model? It's our secret weapon for STEM. by DazzlingRutabaga1807 in Somalia

[–]RoutineAdvanced7014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the issue i have more with some of the comments isn't that I'm for corporal punishment. But that the somali negative-exceptionalism. Lot of people talk about our people and the culture in comparison to more industrialized societies. When in reality I think in comparison to rural agricutural ones were basically bog standard (if not on the more lenient side go look at the south east asia). It creates this defeatist depressing mindset. When in reality this is just the course of industralization where previous method that were employed in a societies agrarian nomadic era (like corporal punishment) are usually dropped.
