@Teeri-Alpha look at the level of thought here from this diaspora generation. Just read the comments carefully and how they can't even see it's not in Somali interest to support the Africans, the more it becomes desert, the more the bantu's get displaced and those lands start to become lands for 'desert people' which is our culture, we will tell our reer miyi 'guura' soo gabsada dhulkasi miyiga, and after 30000 years our ancestors will thank us for our 'land inheritance' to them when they start to ask themselves why they have such large land. May Ethiopia become 'desertified' those midgets will relocate to 'greener' lands since they can only live in those environment and all they're life or cultural skills are based on those environment. May Africa become a NEW ARABIA.
It's due to lack of culture, he only has 'maadi' skills which is secular education, he won't know what is in the interest or strength of his people, he will just join any foreign group, this is what I fear once traditionalism is gone, our strength as a people will be negiotated away. Kulaha lets make Somalia green and join the farmers and then join the upheavel when it becomes a desert. Niyahow
@Teeri-Alpha u need experts in culture or u won't succeed with just secular knowledge.
I am looking forward to jubbaland becoming desert, the farmers will leave the nomads will remain. Cut the trees waryaa, push rahanwayn, hawiye, Madow out since they are farmers. Way guurayan markasi, dhulka darod leh oo weli geel dhaqdo. No amount of foreign studies can teach you life skills, u will infact apply wrong solutions since the foreign education is about the person teaching you to support his survival NOT YOURS.
Lets talk about it. Why is the west or china hell bent on 'damaging the environment'? you displace the cultures who cannot 'adjust' to different weather pattern, this means more 'land' for them as you leave and flee as you don't have the life nor cultural skill to cope in the new environment. Somalis do the same thing but at 'smaller' and more 'primitive' scale like chopping trees down to ensure it becomes 'desert' and farming areas lose they're greenery, then they create ridiculous stories of 'invasion' which sheeko carureed, there is no bad blood among africans as they let nature decide who is superior, they work of the weather and who-ever it favors win be it farmers or desert ppl.
The only time africans warred with each other is very recently when world powers were involved like the 15th century onwards before then, this didn't exist at all, they wud rely on weather and weather decided who survived or left. So do not support this iniaitive, please check out climate change to see if it will make the world WARMER and if so, thats deserts that will develop, which is in our interest alhamdulilah dheh, but if it will make it colder, then it's not, since we are not equipped with life skills of 'ice age living'.
Sit with me as you need to know the culture of our people to know they're strengths in survival, when ur nation planning u want to plan for LONG EXISTENCE and your ideas and policies can hurt it and kill them off if u support people just because it's EDUCATION, u need that cultural backdrop knowledge with secular knowledge to ensure you are makin right decisions. Support neo traditionalism i want to start up this party in diaspora among our generation who do not remember a nation state.
