Why our neighbors are stable but not us

Recommended Posts

Are they intelligent than us ? I would like to understand why is that we as the believers of religion of peace and people

Of one color ,one language and one religion are not so peaceful nation ? We are surrounded by nations of different believers

and we think to our self that we far better.

 

You can meet a Somali person in north pole and yet talking about reer habal being bad.

Why is that it's 2012 and yet Somalis are so concentrated on them selves. We never use others as example.

China is billion of people ,India is about to reach billion of people and still they live peacefully.

 

War ummaddaan somaliyeed maxaa ku dhacay ,intee la yihiin ?

War ummaddaan somaliyeed maxaa ku dhacay ,intee la yihiin ?

If you excluded yourself from the ummada Soomaaliyeed, the problem will still exist, at least say:

 

"War ummaddeena Soomaaliyeed maxaa nagu dhacey, inteen la'nahey"

Traditionally two modes of vocation were available in Somali society that of Waranle (spear bearer) and Wadaad (cleric), this suggests a clear separation of state from religion, as the two were seen as dissimilar but individually highly valued. Traditionally the wadaad was not only an intermediary between man and god, but also between clans in the pursuit for peace and harmony. Nevertheless in the era of the widely available AK-47 rifle, this traditional role of the wadaad has diminished and is in risk of becoming politicised. Moreover Somali society is tribal and clannish in nature, reflected in the Xeer system of governance. So it is this culture of tribalism that is a standard definition point for analysing and explaining the role of violence within Somali society. On this point Kriesberg is noted as saying:

 

“people use their culture as a standard when judging what is fair and just.”

 

Therefore the cultural violence, that which is derived from intra clan warfare legitimises other violence, that which can be linked to survival needs and the need for free will. Nevertheless it is the clan rivalry that is most damaging to Somali society. When clan antagonisms manifest itself in a violent conduct then the effects can be devastating and brutal. The raiding of camel herds in Somali pastoralist society is traditionally seen as a permissible act due to the high value Somali nomads place on the animal. This inevitably breeds unconstructive competition which in turn breeds more violence. However it also reaffirms the theory that might is right in this sanctionable case. Furthermore the traditional system of Xeer has a structure in place that deals with unlawful killings by observing a system of compensation for the bereaved (blood money). However these can escalate into vendettas harboured for many years until a relative takes revenge. The danger of this is that they have a tendency to flare into full blown sub-clan warfare and always has the potential to draw more people in. Therefore the use of adequate force is an authorised act within Somali society, which has wider repercussion for the wider society.

 

The civil war was merely an extension of this idea of the legitmate use of violence. Our culture is one where acts of violence are rewarded.

Out of topic…A friend of mine ayaa hada ka hor gabar doontay, markaan reerkeedii u tagnay oo aan danteenii ka hadalnay buu aabeheed wuxuu na su’aalay qolomaad tihiin (wuxuu u mooday inaan isku qolo nahay maadaama aan wada socono) markaasaa wiilkii gabarta doonayay ayaa wuxuu ku yiri ‘aabo anigu qolo hebel ayaan ahay’ markaasaa odaygii intuu na wada eegay buu yiri ‘ oo kulligiin ma isku qolaad tihiin?’ ‘maya, wax isku qolo ah meesha kuma jiraan’ ayaanu ugu jawaabnay. Odaygii intuu indhaha budhug budhug ka siiyay ayuu wuxuu wiilkii ku dhahay ‘ aaway odayaasha qolodiina?’ ‘gabarta anigaa kaa guursanaya ee qolodeyda ma guursaneyso, odaygii I dhalay anigoo yar ayuu geeriyooday, wiilna aniga kaliya ayuu iga tagay, adeer aan ka ahayn kuwaan isku qolada nahayna ma lihi, sababta aan saaxiibaday usoo watayna ma aha inaan ahay nin aan tol lahayn laakiin iyagaan ka jeclahay ugana kal soonahay kuwa aan isku qolada nahay ee aabo waxaan kaa codsanayaa inaad gabartaada isiiso’.

 

Odaygii intuu xoogaa yara aamusay ayuu wuxuu ku yiri ‘Gabarta markay ii sheegtay inaad igasoo doonaneyso ayaa waxaan masaajidka isku aragnay odayga qolodiina u weyn oo aan saaxiib run ah nahay wuxuuna ii sheegay inaad tahay nin karti badan oo mas’uul ah shaqeystana and most importantly ahlu salaad ah oo aan wax balwad ahna laheyn marka adeer gabarta waan ku siiyay waxaan kaloo intaa kuugu darayaa waxaad tahay nin geesi ah sababtoo ah manta waxaad jabisay xeer iyo dhaqan soomaali u yaalay weligeed oo ah inaanan saaxiibadaa gabadha kuu doonin ee ay qolodaada odayaasheeda gabdhaha doonaan taasna waan kaa cafiyay ee mar dambe ha u noqon’.

 

The moral of the story is, Soomaali hadaan nahay weligeen waan is dili jirnay, waan is dhici jirnay laakiin hadana gogol ayaa lawada fadhiisan jiray oo meesha ayaa mag iyo waxii la doono lagu kala qaadan jiray, goormee amxaaro iyo keenyaati garteena goyn jireen? Goormuu gaalo madoow iyo gaalo cadba danteena ka talin jireen? Soomaali hadaan nahay waan is fahmeenaa oo wax naga hallaawi lahaa ma jiraan laakiin waxaa nagu dhex jira kuwo lacag lagu siiyo inay danta soomaaliyeed fowdeeyaan oo qabiil iyo qashin nagala dhammaan la’a and as long as those monkeys have support be it on SOL or maqaaxida aad shaaha ka cabto weligeen saan baan adduunka u dawarsaneynaa oo amxaaro iyo keenyaati cagtooda hoosteeda ugu jireynaa.

 

^^^and that’s the end of my rant…this is your fellow brother from Kismayo BOB reporting LIVE from Xaliimo Cadeey. Over and Out.

 

 

 

 

Peace, Love & Unity.
