89.5% of all sool households possess a firearm, highest in all of Somalia

[Caaro]

Despite the incredibly high number of guns present in Sool region. Guns are rarely ever used in crimes such as burglary, rape, robberies, and neighbourhood violence. Further proving guns are largely used in militia and for protection.

What do you guys think? I always kind of knew this to be true tbh. There are AK47s in almost every corner of somalia, yet there's not that much gun violence. It just goes to show clan militia has a tight hold on areas, and it's really not that much of an anarchy.

rape cases and other forms of physical assault is almost always reported to clan elders before even going to government police. Surprising how much power clan elders hold

There is almost no trust in the police especially for women. There is much more trust in clan elders for justice being served.

That's Somaliland bro, Taiwan's technically a country and it already was if you consider that the Law of Union wasn't actually signed by both parties so it isn't legally binding. But anyways we'll probably be liberated from Somalia's clutches soon enough.

Does your family in sool own firearms?

this lowkey kind of makes sense though even outside of SL and in somalia. Somali askari are bums that can easily be bribed, also pretty stupid.

Whereas it is very hard to bribe a clan elder, his honour and reputation is on the line. If a poor girl from his own clan where he's the head of, comes to him telling him she was raped. He will see to it to make sure the rapist is punished.

Does your family in sool own firearms?

Yes, they own many different types of weapons. Especially my abti. My awoowe has his own set of AK47s and pistols, and his oldest son is in the clan militia.

The rest of the household don't have weapons

@kurobecky08 Northern households have more guns but the North is safer than Kismaayo, Muqdisho, and Boosaaso. The State and statutory laws are absent in this fusion of Shariica and traditional arbitration system called Xeer. just dont tell female anarchists that the Xeer system is unfair to women as many rape victims get "compensated" with un Islamic forced marriages to to the rapist

Xeer has a few inequities but it os working better than corrupt states in this this region

Yaa nacas why do u spread bs.
No rape victims are forced into marriages.
The guns were from the 90s like in all cases.
Guns are smuggled thru laskhoray an bosaso.
But every qabil has weapons. No different

 

[Abaq]

Every nomad geeljire has a firearm from Jabuuti to Garissa. If he says he doesn't, he's lying. These reer Baadiya are no joke.

I have never heard of something like this, it wouldn’t even make sense.

Think about it, if you could rape the prettiest woman on the block and the “justice” is her becoming your wife. Wouldn’t that encourage men to rape?

No clan elder in their right minds would do something like this so commonly. At that point it’s anarchy, maybe if you said it happens in some rare occasions, I’d probably believe it.

But it happening commonly? You’re crazy, there would have been massive outcry a long time ago. How about the fathers of the victims? Or brothers? Not only is something like this unislamic, it’s also completely against our culture.

We need some kind of common sense man. Unless you personally many women who have been forcefully married to their rapists, or you’ve seen it on the news. I don’t believe a word you say.

You pulled this out of your ass didn’t you?
