RaMpAgE Posted October 29, 2009 Why do we somalis promote the barbaric nomadic culture, when somalia has such a long and rich history. From Kingdoms and sultanats, to trading with the worlds great civilisation, arabia, india, china etc. We have a rich history, yet always seem to over look it and promote the nomadic for somalia. Why is that, can anyone explain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MAXIMUS POWERS Posted October 29, 2009 The Somali peninsula is an oral society. Information is usually spread through the traveling nomads. Consequently Somali society is largely a product of its geographical and climatic environment, the land is very dry and generally does not permit agriculture, and as a result people move around with their herds of livestock, forever in search of good pasture and water. With no possibility of permanent settlement in cities, the nomadic and temporary mobility of Somali people has not been conducive to economic accumulation and the formation of political structure. In settled settled societies, history can be recorded and preserved. In Somaliland there is some semblance of an organised effort to record somaliland history and to have a written record of history and culture etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sherban Shabeel Posted October 29, 2009 I don't see what's so barbaric about nomadic culture. It is a culture which is far less harmful to our environment than so-called "civilized" established cultures. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
