Kamaavi Posted December 2, 2008 On this forum we seem split into two sides but it is much more complex than that. Some people choose political affiliations based on religions, or clans,or what their parents were, or a life changiing experience. What brought you to your current belief system?

Sir-Qalbi-Adeyg Posted December 3, 2008 It's all about your interests at least for myself, you should favor which ever political party caters to your interests in somalia and the west. In somalia, political interests is synonymous with clan interests therefore one has no choice but to support one's clan interests. As napolean said "A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fabregas Posted December 3, 2008 ^^so you supporting clan interests? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir-Qalbi-Adeyg Posted December 3, 2008 ^ Of course! It's a matter of survival in somalia, survival of the fittest and all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fabregas Posted December 3, 2008 But, you do not live in Somalia, do you? In any case, at least you truthful, unlike the unholy brigade in the politics section who hide behind the banner of: somali unity, governance and all the bogus claims. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir-Qalbi-Adeyg Posted December 3, 2008 No, I don't, but I'm still connected to my region and people. Let me tell you something my freind, there are not many genuine somali's, everyone is looking out for their interests. Every group wants somali unity on the condition that their adeer and their people are leading it. You should be doing the same and abandon this hopeless cause of somali unity.

Fabregas Posted December 3, 2008 ^^Being connected to your tribe or region doesn't mean you follow them like an ignorant sheep or that they have to shape your political ambitions( which are mostly negative in the SOmali case). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
winnie Posted December 4, 2008 my qabiil shapes my political views on somalia... but only in the sense that i tend to go against the waves of popular opinion. my people say x is the best suited leader; i ask them why and point out some of the obvious over cites. my people say "dont trust that group", i say "thats exactly what they are saying about us."
