Its funny that you gotta ask, almost similar questions were going through my mind for the past few weeks, and i still cant find an answer. I was in college, and then i heard that there's a fight, so i asked who was fighting? someone said that it was between Somalians and some Arabs. So i ran to the scene and all i could see is Somalians vs Somalians. i got confused so i asked again: Excuse me, i dont see no Arabs involved here. So i was CORRECTED, its Somalians vs Arab Somalians.!!!! and the rest was history!!!! I cant even put down in words the disgust, shame and discomfort i encountered from that expression+ the horrible event that was taking place at that sad moment. What has the world come to? if our people"REGARDLESS OF BACKGROUND AND UPBRINGING" are brother/sister hating, how can we see our country MOVE FORWARD and make all the necessary and crucial steps to enter the so long new millennium? Im an arab somalian female. i have met somalians from all across the world here, and i respect em all, menatality and background wise. although we are all somalians, we are yet so different and there is alot that we could pick from one another if we were only open minded and not so lost in our little self centered souls. When i tell Somalians from Europe, America or whereever that im an "arab-born&bred" Somalian, i cant help but notice the funny looks, hearing funny remarks and i always get"oh u dont think ur the only one that can speak Arabic" type of look when im speaking Arabic. And that makes me wonder why? Why do some Somalians get so defensive when a group of Arab Somalians "as they classify us" choose to speak Arabic among themselves? I mean, its no big deal when European somalians use Dutch , Finnish , Swedish ,etc. to communicate!!!!!! Is it some sort of envy? lack of self confidence? i cant put my hand on it. its just simply beyond my humenly limits of analysing and understanding. if any of u out there read this and feel me on it, then please dont hesitate in sharing your opinions cause u never know, u might be the one that can help get me out of this circle of confusion that i got caught up in since i decided to live here in England and leave my little safe net in Arabia. im sorry if this is too long, its just that i had to get this of my chest once and for all!!! A SOMALIAN arab!!!! NOT an ARAB somalian!!!!
