Maybe Somalia needs to import THOUSANDS of Psychologists to help reverse the thinking of so many Somalis in our country. Some people in Somalia have a deeply twisted way of thinking, and some of these twisted people (unfortunately) have become some of our Politicians.

Yes, Gaas and Ina seed are his advisors.

[faarah22]

I'm talking about technocrats, not political people. preferably from his clan so that he does not take it the wrong way.

[Abwaan]

I told you who his advisors were. If he did well or bad it is because of them and others like them!

[faarah22]

Visiting Somalia, the people I've encountered were generally reasonable and friendly. However, I met MANY people in Somalia who were wild, who were violent and who were small-minded.

 

Many Somalis were so small-minded that they were actually willing to inflict violence on their fellow Somali SIMPLY due to his Qabiil. Many of our politicians steal GOVERNMENT MONEY and buy houses and cars for their family members, and see nothing wrong with doing this.

 

It's such a sad state of affairs. I know this sounds outrageous, but we definitely need to import thousands of psychologists into Somalia, to change the way people think. I can't think of any other solution

[DoctorKenney]

I remember when Al Shabaab (a few months ago) withdrew from parts of Central Somalia and began to move north to the mountains in Galgala, Puntland...I actually heard MANY Somalis celebrating.

 

Even though these Somalis despise Al Shabaab, they actually celebrated when they heard that Al Shabaab was entering Puntland. Why?

 

Well their logic was this: Al Shabaab has killed thousands of Somalis in the South for several years, beheading, torturing and generally making life intolerable for the population.

 

"So now it's time for the people in Puntland to suffer the way we've suffered. We want their sons to have their hands chopped off, because it's happened to us also. Al Shabaab has made life in South Somalia difficult, so now we want you guys to experience this living hell as well"

 

Extremely twisted way of thinking

[Valenteenah.]

That seems to be our very sad reality, Dr Kenney.

 

Do we know what this new money looks like? Any pictures?
