Wadani Posted May 30, 2013 Title should read 'Locals vs Returnees' How will the large influx of Somalis from the diaspora effect Somalia? Will the inevitable differences and fissures between the locals and returned qurbo-joogta, as a result of diverging experiences and interests, gradually begin to enroach on the primacy of the clan system as the main organizer of Somali society? Will the obvious and often times glaring cultural, economic and general worldview discrepancies between the two said groups lead to socio-political tensions and possibly conflicts that will define the coming era of post-civil war Somalia?

Nin-Yaaban Posted May 30, 2013 The only problem is these Qurbo joog people returning with a chip-on-their shoulder and a sense entitlement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alpha Blondy Posted May 30, 2013 i could write a small book about your question wadaniga dhabtaoooow, balse that's bound to be BS. this is the truth: cilmi aan caqli laheyn =Diaspora/Returnee caqli aan cilmi laheyn = Reer Somaliyeed/local Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reeyo Posted May 30, 2013 I can't see there being any problems. The returnees usually learn quick and loose their kibir and the locals stop viewing the qoorbos as strangers. The biggest issue would be economical terms- returnees have money and get jobs easier because they speak English. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
