What Kenyans Think Of Somalis

You're gonna get dragged by certain users who insist all Kenyans (and other Swahili-speaking peoples) are out to get Somalis.

Looking forward to it.

:coolphone:
 
They’re on video so a lot more cautious. Don’t be fooled by this fake praise because on Kenyan Twitter and their forums where there is more anonymity, they spew the most vile things about Somalis. With zero pushback from their liberals unlike ours who act like defence lawyers for ajanabis. Even their girls turn into the KKK when it comes to us unlike our pathetic BLM Xalimos.

They are by far our biggest haters.

The Kenyan people haven't been good neighbors to Somalis in the past and especially when the war happened there are factual documented evidence that Somali have been missed treated and even killed by Kenyan people. We should be excited for them at all they technically despise all Somali's even the ones that are native to northern Kenya. The amazing thing about our Somali community that we do business with ourselves and employees Somali's. I've heard stories of Somali's owning business and letting Kenyans employees open and close when they aren't there and for some reason robberies would be more frequent.

They killed 5000 dagoodi men at an airport in Wajir after starving them for days it’s called the wagalla massacre I believe. It was exactly 40 years ago.

I know Kenyans. Except for some young less reasonable people online, most Kenyans are friendly.

they like Somalis. Reddit Kenya is space of very young Kenyans, who have been westernized, they are not very serious on this sub, most things are about dating and other things.

some Kenyans have qabil issues most likely because of the Arab slave trade and suwaheli-Arab conflicts of Zanzibar in the 1960s

And the violence against Kenyan women in the gulf states

Actually Tribalism in Kenya stems from the colonial period.

I mentioned a bit about it before:

Tribalism is deeply embedded in Kenyan politics.

The politics is split on an ethnic divide and is a carry on from colonialism that put certain groups with a majority ahead of others .

"The appointments in government parastatals reflect a deliberate effort to favor certain ethnic lines," Wanyama said.


"In the traditional society the issue of belonging to a tribe was not a big issue until and during the fight for independence," Nairobi-based analyst Brian Wanyama told DW.
 
Negative or positive, the collective is fickle depending on where the wind blows. Stop reading people's validation as a source of acceptance or reliance. If you get overly reactive to positive remarks, the negative will also hit you harder. People are people.

With that said, most people everywhere are more reasonable than people let on. The world is not a Twitter beef thread.

The only measure is how Somalis get treated in that country, not sentiments on social media. So far, things are alright. We don't need to be universally loved (no one is). We can get by with what we have which is either positive or neutral. Besides South Africa, most places are generally cool.

Either way, the NFD is a Somali territory. Somalis are in a good position to really assert much political and economic influence in that country. Colonial mechanisms forced Somalis to join what were previously two separately managed regions into a southern non-Somali center. Kenya has no choice but to give Somalis the red carpet to power now that they forced the northeastern folk to play house. Say hello to big papa.
