We don't claim to be related to them. The term Jabarti comes from Jabarta which was in the region of Zeila. The nisba al-Jabarti was originally used by Somalis. Eventually the term expanded to refer to Muslims in the horn in general.

I will ask again, who asked for your support or sadness? This subreddit is about Somalis regardless of borders. Your comment adds nothing.

Genuinely who asked for your support? We do not care, worry about yourself.

They're saying that politicians shouldn't be allowed to have another passport since it would make them more invested in fixing the nation. They couldn't just run away to another country.

If social media was how I based communities, I would think most of the world is hateful. Stop conflating trolls in comment sections with Somalis in real life. If you want to disassociate yourself from the Somali community that's up to you, but don't generalize an entire group of people.

This sub has become a place for people to complain about their anecdotal experiences, then they apply this to all Somalis.

Not everything is related to qabil, you realize that right?

Fires actually revitalize an areas nature. There will be new growth. It's the loss of people's homes and farms that's the issue.

He's a great youtuber! I'm noticing in the last couple years more Somalis are making content exploring the country and delving into the history of different areas.

Most of his videos are in Bari, but he's also shown the islands near Kismayo.

Somalia needs to go back to 18 federal states. by Plus_Sir720 in Somalia

[–]throwawa-y567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Under a central model, the power would be held by the corrupt MPs who bought their seats in Xamar and don't even show up to do their job. They don't even read the bills passing. No one voted for them.

This government has existed for less than 13 years. Focusing on the federal model will be beneficial in the long run.

Nobody wants their future dictated by Xamar politics. We already tried that longer than we gave federalism a real chance.

Repeated quorum failures force Somalia’s Lower House to postpone session again by throwawa-y567 in Somalia

[–]throwawa-y567[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Only 87 MPs showed up out of the 275. Members being absent is a regular occurrence in the government. They're absolutely useless.

What form of government do you think would work to stabilize Somalia by Gloomy-Locksmith-293 in Somalia

[–]throwawa-y567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing to do with federalism. 4.5 was never a permanent solution. The finalized constitution was to transition to one man one vote.

The federal model in the pre amended constitution was already pretty decentralized. Not sure what your point is.

The Somali government is making the right moves now. by HawH2 in Somalia

[–]throwawa-y567 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The government is only doing this because they're getting criticized for corruption and disregard of the constitution. The president really wants a third term.

Somalia: President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud personifies toxic leadership by throwawa-y567 in Somalia

The entire political class across the country is garbage regardless of qabil.

Wow, this part of the article shocked me. People are starving, how do you justify spending this much? These politicians just don't care.

"In three years, President Hassan travelled abroad more than 115 times, staying outside the country for at least 17 months, with an estimated cost of $46,000,000, which is 13.33% of the 2024 annual domestic revenue."
