Haal Somali, I take this opportunity to welcome you into SOL. I hope you will enjoy your stay in here. As to your questions I cannot answer all of them but I will be writing a piece which I will post in here. I hope that piece will answer some of your questions or at least give you a hint about what I propose we ought to do. As to Islam and our ulima I think we should show respect. We are Muslims and our faith is Islam and Islamic culture is imbued in all actions in our daily life. After one thousand years Islam has become indigenous and there is no substitute for it. Our situation will not be improved by trying now to revert to our pre-Islamic culture. That is not an option. What I have been trying to say is that there are other sub-cultures besides Islam which are in their side also imbued in our daily actions and therefore this presence of competing sub-cultures has created social friction which in effect weakened the social cohesion and have now become manifested as open conflict of endless wars. The question is: how should we heal the wounds? This is what this piece is about! Chimera, I’m coming back to you. The Awakener2

Haal Somali, That was bright. Thanks. This is continuation of the last posting. The colonial powers who came in the Horn in the later part of 19th century brought with them and introduced to the Somali people a third way of Life which I call The Western Way of Life. 3. Examples of the western way of Life. As culture it is not indigenous. There is nation state which governs its people within defined border. The nation state has a figure head or a group of people who are responsibility to lead the nation. The laws which govern the nation state are mainly secular. People are citizens of the nation state and have right to live everywhere they choose within the border of the state. There can be social classes of for example the working class or middle class but otherwise the citizens have equal rights and duties which the law guarantees. Citizens give their allegiance to the nation state. The colonial powers did not only introduce their system to Horn but they implemented it; in short they created artificial borders, nation states, governing state bodies, national institutions, monetary system, schools and education system etc. in effect everything you associate with modern state both in government and social aspects. Materialism and modernization which were unknown became idolized. All these changes happened with disregard to the cultural and religious heritage of the people. This was earthquake in cultural terms. The psyche of our people which was already struggling to integrate two different ways of life became subjected to its limits. We could no longer move to our preferred way of life but become stuck to a state of no adoptability. All the three ways of life began then to co-exist. That is where we are now. More to come The Awakener2

Gelle, Thanks for your input. It has to be all right to ask questions. That is what I did but yes I made an assertion that we lack dominant culture. Read the inputs in the thread if you will and show me if my assertion is wrong. That would be fair! Furthermore in my opinion our time has to be one for deep introspection and questioning; more than one third of our population are either asylum seekers in foreign countries or internally displaced inside Somalia, the pride of Somalia, Mogadishu is flattened to the ground and the majority of its inhabitants are living just outside it in unbearable living condition, the cream of our educated elite and many others who could impact our situation to positive direction are instead either sided into opposing groups and fighting destroying life and property or enjoying supposedly a life of ease abroad waiting the situation in Somalia to improve; because of the prolongation of the war the second generation of Somalis who are born in the west are adults now and they see no country they could go back to, etc. Can It get worse? No. Everyone without exception is already confused! But this is another subject which we could discuss preferable in another thread. Man of freedom: nice input and thank you. The Awaker2

I agree ! This was truely a miracle. The Awakener2

This is continuation of the last posting. 2. Examples of The Islamic Way of Life. As culture it is not indigenous. It promotes a centralized system of governance which is detailed both in form and function in the Sharia. It promotes a Islamic national state with a leader and hierarchy of governors and leaders under it.Sharia supersedes all other rules, regulations or laws. A Muslim person is a member of the Ummah and he or she shares habitat with his Muslim brothers and sisters. The existing social classes are discouraged. All occupations are encouraged and honored except those which are defined as sinful or bad. Members of the Ummah have to give their allegiance to the Islamic State. My aim is not to teach and I have to concede that I may be taking chances as to correctness of my above mentioned points but I want to make a contrast between our sub-cultures so that we can see where we are! What happened in that initial stage of the introduction of Islam into the Horn was that our forefathers accepted the Islamic faith but still they clenched to many values in their native culture; the Sufi teachers who were the vanguards of the Islamic teaching were aware of the challenges but they were not in a hurry because they knew that a changing of a culture is a process. Instead they put their energy to teach the people according to the capacity the people could accommodate the faith. (more will follow) The Awakener2

Albert Einstein is quoted as say that peace cannot be kept by force.It can only be achieved by understanding. Contrary to this wisdom many of us are either engaged or sympathetic to the idea to bring peace in our country by using force. In my opinion this is a naïve conclusion at best. If you look closer at the matter you will probable understand that in order peace to endure it has to be facilitated through dialogue and understanding. Otherwise it becomes temporary attainment on the ground that the vanquished part stays at the sideline waiting and takes every opportunity to attack back. This is why the world is embroiled in wars. In my part I see the conflict in Somalia as one based on culture and until we take this factor into consideration we will just get fumbling with poor solutions or scratching our heads wondering what has happened to us. Why do I think that the conflict is about the lack of dominant culture? In order to answer the above question let us look the historical transition of our native somali culture. 1. Examples of our Traditional way of Life. It is : Indigenous Decentralized in governance. Hierarchies of elders run the affairs of the people in a decentralized manner. The elders rule their people on mainly indigenous rules, regulations and laws which are passed to them by their forefathers. People belong to clans with sub-clans and have their geographically defined area of habitat. There are social classes in the society. The pastoralist way of Life is valued above all other occupations. Members of clan or sub-clan have to give their allegiance to their elders and to the members of their clan and sub-clan. They observe and obey the rulings of their elders and are obliged to defend the members of their clan, sub-clan and their habitat both in blood and material goods. The country we now call Somalia had a dominant culture with the above characteristics when Islam came to the Horn of Africa; The advent of Islam introduced to somali people a new way of Life which has been in opposition to the most if not all of the values in the traditional way of Life. This opened the gate for a major transition of the Somali cultural values from its indigenous roots. From that time on there was no longer homogeneous culture in the country!

Q.5. Are the United Nations and African Union entities that sanction morally binding and encompassing authority over member nations' Sovereignty? The UN and AU are governed by member states. They themselves have no power of their own therefore they lack sovereignty. Q. Do they reserve the right to recognize the representatives of the member nations based on: A. Principles of the Organization, B. Principles held by the Member Nation's People If it becomes different than the Organizations founding principles? C. Does the African Union, and the UN own its members or its the members who own the Organziation? It depends who you are and who your friends are. There are member nations in those bodies who are “more equal” than the others for example the members of the Security Council in UN. There is no equality in there nor in anywhere else for that matter. Nowhere can you find enduring equality in Life; like everything else equality is in a always in states of flux. The Awakener2

I feel that you wish to present ideals in here; if I'm right then it would be useful if you could add analyses of practical steps which you think could lead to the fruition of your ideals. Now your questions: Q.1. Isn't only the size that makes clannish loyalty different than Patriotism? It is the scale of the negative influence that is different. Clearly clan loyalty has the potential to create more internal strife between people who could otherwise live in harmony when they have patriotic mindset; loyalty to a clan divides the people, it divides their resources, their knowledge and creativity and in effect undermines among other things their ability to set common goals for social, economic or spiritual development. Q.If so then why do some of us think negatively about clannish loyalty while being patriotic (Waddaninimo - Somali Patriotism)? Because we think that under the circumstances and in our time waddaninimo is the next best step we could take; a mindset of national unity could offer something which clan loyalty is not offering now, namely, a better social cohesion. this is an ideal strategy which takes into consideration to take one beneficial step at a time. such a step is prerequisite to other steps. Q.2. Does Patriotism aka Nationalism, compete with our loyalty with our Maker's Absolute Sovereignty? A human being has two types of relationships: A relation with his Creator; and as a steward of The Maker a relationship with His creation. The earth, the air, all animals, all inanimate objects etc. come under the care of man. Man has to care for them. That in effect establishes a relationship. While the nature of the first relationship is defined by the creator and Absolute Sovereignty of the Maker is an obligation for the believer the second one is service which has to be given voluntarily. It brings hasanaat and thus smoothes the way for the devotee. Therefore by definition whatever we give for a national cause or other causes: neighbor, guest, environment etc. in our external relationship is a service which every one of us as a steward is entitled to render as thanksgiving to The Creator and as a payback to life. Man as the Khaliif (Steward) is a shepherd and will be asked about his flock meaning all that which comes under the persons influence in need or deed. Q.Does the flag and the National Anthem represent a modern Idol? I mean a form of false deity whose devotees hold it sacred above everything else? It depends on the intention of the participant in this action. Intention is always the key factor in all actions. Q.3. Is grouping of peoples along colonial demarcated borders a legitimate right reserved for past Colonialists if Colonialism itself is deemed as an illegal crime committed by Nations who invaded peaceful nations, occupying their lands, stealing their resources, enslaving their peoples and then, as they cut their losses an ran away, hastily demarcated the lands they occupied as per their interests and not as per the wishes of the indigenous peoples? No one has right to impose his will on the others. Human transgressions are many and cannot be completed in a list. It is important to mention that such transgressions do not belong to a particular people, faith or time but humanity is drenched with it historically and now. Your above question reminds me to what we have done to the minorities in our country!! How are we different from those you are referring to? From ideological perspective we know ( the believers believe) that all realities including ours are authored, planned and created by The Supreme Maker; nothing is here by accident because it is, as it were, only through the WILL of God that things of any nature can get manifested in here. Hence from time immemorial God has ordained that both good and evil get their playgrounds in here and we as His beloved creation get an opportunity to play with it( play is an strong word). The knowledge that we are in an eternal challenge with the negative is useful. Q.4. What is the strongest cohesive force that unites different peoples of different races, colors and languages? I believe it is empathy. Without empathy human relationships have tendencies to flounder and then competition, jealousy and eventually even war can become the result. That explains why people of the same faith or members of the same family fight. The strongest cohesive force in the universe is empathy or unconditional love. The Awakener2

As always the traditon oriented are doing well; even in the South proper the elders are awakening now to their role. Compared to the Islamic Oriented, and Western Oriented groups, they excel in constructive engagements through which they seek to find consensus by employing compromise as method. They could acomplish the impossible if only they could go beyond their clan mentality!. ammmmmmm... any wayI feel the traditionalists deserve to be commended and encouraged. The Awakener2

Previously posted by Positive: competition between the tribes in our country has created a state of perpetual conflict and division among our people both now and in the past. The group interest has became dominant while the common interest became an illusive commodity which has yet to be found by the majority of the us . What is most worrying now though is that we have not only nearly decimated ourselves as a nation, as never before, but we have the potential to annihilate our nation- ones and for all. It is paramount then , more than ever now, that we identify the enemy! The enemy is our socio-economic system which among other things encourages the individual to belong to a tribe instead of his ROOT national identity which is Somali. We can no longer afford to give our allegiance to individual tribes for the simple reason that such groups will bring neither peace nor prosperity to us as a nation or even to our sub-clans. I'm bringing this thread back so that we may reflect upon two themes: unity and peace versus division and war. In fact it is the absence of the first and/or lack of empathy which results in war. Peace is not in the future or far away but is here now waiting to be embraced by us. The Awakener2

Brother Nur, I’m still waiting answer. You could expand our discussion by giving answer to the following questions? A) What would be your answer to your four questions? 1. Problem Identification. 2. Problem analysis. 3. Possible solutions. 4. Selection of the best option. B) In your opinion are there any religious grounds why the opposition would not pursue the path of peace by employing consensus as method of settling the differences between the Somali brothers and sisters? Let us be reminded that our discussion is for greater audience and therefore we have to finish what we begin. Peace. The Awakener2

Little historical background: First for the sake of simplicity let me present this analogy: There was a family ( society ) who had a piece of fertile land ( country ). The affairs of the family was administered by the family's father and mother ( leadership ). In time some of the children become dissatisfied with the way the parents were running the affairs of the family and conspired to overthrow their parents and replace them. The rebellious children sought sanctuary in a fiendish neighboring family and after receiving help from the host family began to attack their family; eventually the rebels succeeded not only to overthrow their parents but they killed both of them. This act ushered in a time of great pain and discord as the brothers and sisters of the family could not agree who should replace their parents ( the leadership ). In a lack of agreement the family become divided into warring groups and every group expressing different preference sought help from whoever would help their group. The family opponents found ingenious ways to solicit aid from foreign families and even invited them to wage their war for them. Certain foreign families in their side grasped at the opportunity and eventually become handlers for some elements in the fighting family members. War has become justified by all parts and since then nothing has been done but destruction of Life and property. This is the unfortunate situation the family is now. In light of the above analogy let me try to answer your questions. 1. Problem Identification: Are we talking about the same problem? We are talking about the same problem but looking from two different perspectives. mise cadan baa laga heesayaa? qof walba qumanihiisa ayaa qoorta ugu jira If you ask two Somalis what the problem is you will get different answers, this itself is the first problem. There are as many interpretation of an incident as there are observers to perceive it. Do we want peace in this life only at the expense of next? do we want peace on both? etc. Life in the hereafter is continuation of Life herein only more enjoyable or more suffering according to merit. We want peace in this Life so we can enjoy more peace in the next. 2. Problem analysis: Do we agree on what led to this problem in the first place? According to my analogy the current Somali affairs is the consequence of the bringing down of national leadership and subsequent eroding and undermining of national institutions through rebellion and wars from the year 1991 but also before that in fact from 1977. What is feeding it to this day? Many things are feeding it which I can mention locally, among other things, lack of trust and compromise between the warring factions (TFG, Al-Shabaab, Xisbul Islam, Ahlul Sunnah etc); and externally foreign actors who are exploiting the internal Somali discord and thus wish to maximize their gain. It has to be evident to us that it is when we are divided that the foreign actors would have free ride. who are the players who have an influence and what are their motives? The fertile land is ours and family is us. Regardless of the foreign presence and their intentions we should be capable to collective safeguard our own interests. This is not wishful thinking from my part but a necessity if we have to exist as a nation. Otherwise the prospects do not look good. can all the requirements of the different opponents and their supporters be met? Somali opponents have relative similar goals but they differ how to approach it. The Somalis need to cultivate trust and compromise so that they can become open for consensus. This is the best thing we can choose under the circumstances. I hope you would agree that, atleast theoretically, foreigners could not impose their requirements on us as they are doing now if we could be united and had our own clear agenda. 3. Possible solutions: A list of criteria and options to solve the Problem. I could write a long list but for now I will simple state that the right option is Consensus!Rest could come after this first momentous step. How many solution sets do we have? Not many. We need to sit under acacia tree and discuss how the family could again become whole and thus reclaim its own piece of fertile land. A prefered social way of Life can best be defined and agreed when a leadership that come into power in consensus sits at the helm. 4. Selection of the best option: How should we prioritize these Solutions? A conducive climate for discussion should be created by opposing parts first. It is only through dialog that priorities and solutions could emerge. Akhi, Nur before you embark your probably lengthy answer would you please first address if you deem that consensus is not the option and why you think so. Peace The Awakener2

The solution is to denounce fighting as means to achieve goals and instead seek consensus in a peaceful and sincere manner so that good things could come to us in more beneficial ways through the spirit of our communality. Would be nice The question that begs an answer is why consensus would not be THE option? Is it a scape goat to mention that it was the Ethiopian foreigners who have invaded the country after the liberation of the nation from the clout of war criminal Warlord Control of 16 years? It is not a escape goat to mention that but this was yesterday! From the present perspective the brutality of the war is adversely affecting everyone and everything. We are not in an ideal situation and alternatives to this prevalent condition is a necessity for our survival. The problem now as I see it is that each faction is fighting in order to stay in the seat of power or to come to it by force!! While each faction has foreigners under their sleeves they are pointing fingers to the others. Hence destruction of the Somali nation as entity has become a worrying concern for many of us. One ideal way to ward off the foreigners and their influence is our common resolve to stay united by cultivating brotherhood and empathy to one another; not doing that is a recipe for nation failure. As you are well aware the Ethiopian military left due to our higher resolve and unity otherwise they would have probably stayed today. These intellectual premises as I laid them out should be intelligible yaa saaxiib. and that the Ethiopians have placed a flimsy dummy TFG government as a window dressing with a massive foreign prodding to safeguard foreign interests not Somalia's. How can you ignore this fact yaa saaxibi? At present the primary institution of the TFG is the Parliament which have the highest authority to affect change in the country and the majority of them are neither chosen by UN nor AU. Nevertheless only in a conducive political environment which is absent now could the parliament carryout its mandate or sway the executive branch of the government to a right direction. We need to accept the realization that there are God fearing and honest Somalis in every faction and outside of the factions. If we could only opt for consensus could honest Somalis unite across the board. As I see it we ought choose consensus as principle because then this will empower honest members in the Parliament, the other branches of the government and society as whole. If this was a football game, the analogue would be our national football team aka TFG are all bribed and bought to score the goal for the adversaries against Somalia with the full approval of the referees ( UN, AU) who are as well illegally bribed by rich game fixers US and EU to look the other way, which prompted another self appointed national Somali team to denounce this traitor team and offer to play the game with the adversaries on plain ground with fair rules of engagement. Are you asking the self appointed national team to compromise with the known team members who are receiving bribes from the opposing team to allow couple of goals scored against Somalia to please the adversaries? That would be a boring game, wouldn't it? As long as the warring factions persist in their present path the inn-follow of arms and money from the foreigners will continue and in consequence our people and country will suffer most. From my perspective evidently the warring factions have most to blame. The Awakener2

The country and Islam are not reserved for a certain group nor do they belong to certain authority but both are things we share and have to safeguard together. The solution is to denounce fighting as means to achieve goals and instead seek consensus in a peaceful and sincere manner so that good things could come to us in more beneficial ways through the spirit of our communality. It is an escape goat to mention foreigners when our house is divided and we are participants in torching it. First we need to own our agenda; atleast try to do that before we point fingers. Regardless of justifications for the ongoing fighting from any part, still it is destructive and its brutality is unparallelled in the history of our nation; nothing good can come from shedding the blood of a brother. There has always been chance to embrace peaceful solutions and even in this dark hour it is not too late. Wiilwaal: Inan rag wax kasta waan ku deyey. xitaa hooyadii ayaan u geeyey.

Voltiare, First the reason you are baffled has probably to do that you either have strong preconceived ideas which do not accommodate what I wrote; or you could not digest the content of the topic. In both cases your bafflement has more to do with you than the other contributors of the topic. Second I'm not interested in quantum entanglement but I'm interested on the esoteric knowledge and initially the elemental and spiritual constitution of man and then The Creator. Self knowledge is what this topic is trying to propagate and you are welcome to make your contribution to it. Last but not the least I don't claim that I'm knowledgeable person but I can take part in discussions on a "layman's terms".

TheParagon You could have a look at this one. It is the writings of Rumi the great sufi poet. There are two kinds of intelligence . One is like that acquired by a child at school, from books and teachers, new ideas and memorization. Your intelligence may become superior to others, but retaining all that knowledge is a heavy load. You who are occupied in searching for knowledge are a preserving tablet, but the preserved tablet is the one who has gone beyond all this. For the other kind of intelligence is the gift of God: its fountain is in the midst of the soul. When the water of God-given knowledge gushes from the breast, it doesn't become fetid or impure. And if its way to the outside is blocked, what harm is there? For it gushes continually from the house of the heart. The acquired intelligence is like the conduits which run into the house from the streets: If those pipes become blocked, the house is bereft of water. Seek the fountain from within yourself. I hope you would enjoy this. The Awakener2

Mathnawi VI: 2955-2962 The spirit is like an ant, and the body like a grain of wheat which the ant carries to and fro continually. The ant knows that the grains of which it has taken charge will change and become assimilated. One ant picks up a grain of barley on the road; another ant picks up a grain of wheat and runs away. The barley doesn't hurry to the wheat, but the ant comes to the ant, yes it does. The going of the barley to the wheat is merely consequential: it's the ant that returns to its own kind. Don't say, "Why did the wheat go to the barley?" Fix your eye on the holder, not on that which is held. As when a black ant moves along on a black felt cloth: the ant is hidden from view; only the grain is visible on its way. But Reason says: "Look well to your eye: when does a grain ever move along without a carrier?"

Nin baa ka shakiyey in uu baranbaro liqay kadib markuu caano cabay. Waxkasta ayuu sameeyey oo ay ku jirto inuu iska mantajiyo laakiin baranbaradii way ka soo noqon way calooshiisa. Xanuun shaki ku salaysan ayaa ninkii ku dhacay. Marba markii ka dambaysay waa sii itaal dareeyey ilaa uu hawlgabay ugu dambayntiina awr guradiis lagu qaaday marka la guurayo. Saddex sano iyo dheeraad markay arrintu sidaas ahayd ayaa maalin maalmaha ka mid ah ninkii xanuunsayey oo ardaa jiifa waxa u yimi nin safar ah. Markay iswaraysteen ayaa ninkii safarka ahaa yiri "Aniga ayaa dawadiisa aqaan xanuunka ee ha la ii keeno caano geel oo dhay lis ah iyo caleenta geedka jaleelada". Makhrib markay noqotay ayaa ninkii safarka ahaa dab shiday oo digsi loo keenay ku kariyey caleentii geedka. Markay hal cabaar ah kartay ayuu biyihii oo uu ka miiray caleentii intuu ku daray caanihii dhayda ahaa cabsiiyey ninkii xanuunsanayey. Mantag iyo shuuban ayuu la sare istaagay ninkii. Markuu in badan mantagay ayuu ninkii safarka ahaa ku yiri ninkii xanuunsanayey " halkan bal eeg; waxaan aad mantagtay waa maxay?" Ninkii xanuunsanayey baa eegay mise waa baranbaro ku dhex jirta mantaggii. Markaas ayuu weydiiyey " oo ma anigaa baranbarada mantagay?" Ninkii kale ayaa ugu jawaabay " haa". Maalintaas ayaa xanuunkii ugu dambaysay ninkii. Laakiin ninka markii horeba citiqaadkiisa ah inuu bahal liqay ayaa xanuunka u keenay markii dambe citiqaadkiisa ayaa caafimaadka u keenay waayo bahal uu liqay iyo mid uu mantagay toona ma jirin. Xikmadda sheekada: Citiqaadku waa feker awood u leh inuu qofka meesha ugu saraysa ama meesha ugu hoosaysa geeyo iyadoo ku xiran waxa uu citiqaadsan yahay. Xitaa cuduro aan la dawayn karin, wax aan la qaban karin ama/iyo abaalmarin aan la heli karin ayaa citiqaadku wax ka tari karaa! Toosiye
