Angola is a lot more civilized then I thought

[RiceMuncher]

I wasn't qabiilist I argued a few times for fun, but I don't hate anyone cos of tribe

Nigga you spit some hateful shit lmao, but it's all good. I was just suprised. This duniya is temporary and the lowest form of aqli is using that time to hate on your own brothers and sisters.

So basically I was watching this itchy boots latest video(Motorbike vlogger) where she is traveling the western part of Africa,


and in the video she enters the country of Angola
The part I want to bring up is when she goes to the capital Luanda at 13:10

I was absolutely suprised, I did not know the capital of Angola was this beautiful...
After this I did some more searching and here is a few pictures I found

(I WAS gonna upload another photo but apprently its too LARGE)

Basically the entire reason why I even brought this up is why is Somalia so terribly behind?? Seriously the best somalia has to offer is rag-tag developments using the cheapest of materials. I dont even think any sort of urban planning exists in somalia. I was amazed seeing how clean their main beach front road was, it reminded me of chicago lake shore drive combined with the weather of Miami.

I must congratulate Angola, Regardless of whatever their political situation is, they really have a nice city and not to mention the roads were properly paved with markings. I am a little jealous I won't lie, why is somalia so behind?? They also had a huge civil war and their communist aswell.

Man I was watching that too last night

WALLAHI THERE IS TRUTH TO THIS MEME
Before I cared about tribes, wallahi I saw Somalia as so ugly and disgusting and I wondered, how on Earth can people live like this and be happy?
But when I started learning about tribes I saw random shitty tuulos as beautiful

Every tuulo you saw you was like

Dumb example. Those are pastoralists' huts for mobile, light movement, not urban places. Have the decency to compare a city to a city.

This comparative shit is pointless.

Why is it that every time someplace else gets a compliment, a damned contrast has to follow with disparaging comments about how much Somalis suck at this, that, or the other without carrying an intelligent conversation about the topic itself. It went from Angola to posting pastoralist guri.

 

[Aseer]

What did you people expect unlike us they don't fight over tribes and shitty towns that's what happens when you shed off primitive aspects of your culture, like qabyaalad.

That's not a nomadic hut, that's a refugee tent, nomads usually live in an aqal or mudul
We all know what our average Somali town looks like, it's a shit hole

We must eliminate Hasan Sheikh! He has destroyed our country! He is a stooge!

Because Somalis don’t live in reality that’s why. Somalis are so up in the clouds with our arrogance and faan that we need to be reminded of our current condition. I’m telling ya I’m done praising and supporting all things Somali just because it’s Somali.

You're not an intelligent person worth even talking to. That is an evident statement.

I think this place is the opposite. It is just outrage for years without any productive conversation. Like the idiot above who literally posted huts compared to the urbanized city of a different African country. Is that a worthwhile contribution? The delusion of Somalis comes down to the administrative level of how things are run. We can have an intricate conversation about that but be honest, man, none of these people that post huts as examples have the mental fortitude to hold such a conversation.

You know the thing is, you don't become less primitive by removing qabil. You go from one extreme to another. True growth comes from when Somalis realize that qabil is nothing more than lineage, they accept that, hold it somewhere in a benign cultural and traditional way that does not stand in the way of functional societal matters, and then you will truly mature as an "advanced" society. A country like Oman does have tribes, but do you see how they are living in harmony? That is growth.

 

[CABDULWALI XASAN.]

It's an oil rich country in heavily debt to China. Everything was build for them down to the parks and social housing.

This is Muqdisho skyline build and owned by Somali, and we're still a nation recovering from total state failure. No other country has ever survived this long like we have. Give us peace and a bit of foreign investment and we'll surprass many of these countries IA.

Needs Regula

Somalia doesn’t lack fancy buildings . It lacks a government tto pave roads, build storm drains and manage the upkeep of public use areas/facilities. Don’t let these images fools you on the ground level xamar is pretty terrible.

-Potholes everywhere
-slippery pavement made outta tiles
-cow poop everywhere
-when it rains the flood carries sand and debris onto the roads.
-random jingads built on the pavement so you have to walk on to the road where a bajaaj is likely to run you over .
- spoiled food and vegetables dumped on the street for cows to eat

Just saying bro.

Bruh cow poop? We arent indians

Man I was watching that too last night

Shes a 'decent' youtuber

That's the point but people don't want to accept that

They got like 5 other social housing developments they’ve done from scratch. I reckon it’s not that costly to build these types of cities if you keep it repetitive and simple.

This is one of their social housing developments they’ve built called Caála
View attachment 316779
Just a basic design that can be repeated over and over again

I hope they got a reputable Chinese firm that built this, I've seen housing/business developments in China rotting away, a school recently collapsed killing all the students, local government chalked it down to an accident, but it built their crony friends.
