I just received news that some person known by a family friend was killed in somalia. Now get this! this is the part that makes me sick to my stomach. The man owned houses in somalia and before he came to work in the west, he allowed his vrother to live in his house in order for them to take care of the place. Apparently the brother after many years of hard work decided that he wanted to go back home to live in his house in somalia. When he returned and the brother found out that his brother would want him and his family to move out, he killed his brother in order to keep the house. I have never felt so disappointed in my life. This is the place that i wanted to buy a house thinking that the comfort of my own clan would allow me to retire in my own hometown and to possibly lead a career in politics to help make life better for the next somali generation. This news however shocks me! it's sickening that our ppl are so backwards and would do such things, even in the throes of poverty i would conduct myself in a respectful manner. This has got me reconsidering investing to live permanently back home Or at least until i've educated my children and established them in the west. I don't want to end up getting killed like malcom x by my own ppl, just because little yakuub tried to play robbin hood and it pissed off some jealous locals. May god cure our ppl of their vicious nature, although i don't know if the brother suffered from mental health or not. I'm seriously starting to have second doubts about going back home until i'm old and ready to die. My grandfather owns land in erigavo and even that i'm wondering which cousin will kill me for if i try to develop that region for the sake of the whole community. I ain't no coward and am willing to die for my dream country to be realised, but i would prefer to settle down and raise my family first before undergoing a suicide mission such as living in the land of the predators and mentally deranged khat eaters.
Sorry if i seem negative! it's just that i'm freaked out that such an even could happen. The south has al-shabaab and the north has jealous relatives. If you guys want to move to somalia i suggest you have 100 strong children to defend you in your old age or these snakey relatives might kill you and take your wealth.
