Sometimes Dhaqancelis makes things worse.

A few months back one boy was killed in Bosaaso, his name was Abdirahman Bashir, AUN

There needs to be an effective bridge between the two generations.

Whatt! who killed him?
 
Somali migrants do not always succeed in meeting the high expectations of their families and communities. This article focuses on this "failed diaspora", i.e. the experiences of those Somali migrants who have been deported or returned to Somaliland, either by authorities or their families, because of criminal behaviour, mental illness, drug abuse or life styles that Somali parents cannot accept. It is hoped that they will recover in Somaliland by being "returned to culture" or by receiving religious and traditional treatments. In the diaspora a Somali migrant continues to belong to an extended Somali family, its values and networks, and the family may make strategic decisions on behalf of an individual. Ultimately, the success of a transnational Somali family is dependent on the behaviour, achievements and resources of its individual members. This article is based on a total of 6 months ethnographic fieldwork that was carried out in Somaliland in 2005–2011.



In general, it is easy to become called dhaqan celis in Somaliland. Anyone who has been abroad, particularly a teenager or someone in their twenties who comes from outside the Horn of Africa – or even from Djibouti like Ahmed – is easily referred to by locals as dhaqan celis as he/she is seen as different from local youths: fashionable Western attire or expensive sunglasses; boys who use shorts; girls who wear long trousers, tight clothes or who do not cover themselves; Somali youths who do not master the Somali language; even a different walking style is easily noticed. An 18-year-old boy who visited Somaliland during summer holidays mentioned that Somalilanders regarded Somalis from Europe as stupid because they “fought with flies”, and he demonstrated how he used to chase away small black flies with his hand when local inhabitants paid them no heed. A Somali mother from Finland claimed that all young people who come from Europe to Somaliland for whatever reason are viewed with suspicion: most of them are believed to have used drugs or suffer from some kind of a psychiatric problem or brain damage: either they are too lively or too quiet according to local standards. In general, a person is called dhaqan celis almost automatically when they are suspected of having adopted “corrupted” Western, non-Somali or non-Muslim behaviour such as using alcohol, smoking, having boyfriends or girlfriends, or having accepted new gender roles in general. These kinds of images may be even extended from youths to adults (also Abdile and Pirkkalainen in this journal).

Most of land/clan conflicts in Somaliland are orchestrated by diaspora. :yacadiim:


Diaspora are a filth, they're also the ones who fund clan wars! Somalilanders & Somalis in general need to take back their country from these outsiders! Qolqoljoog uprising is long overdue
