Fifty years ago, if you have walked around the major Somalian cities, you would have heard a lot of Somalian names and few Arab and foreign names. You would instantly recognize and understand every name you would hear in Somalia at that time. Couple generations later, our naming tradition radically changed and you’d hardly recognize any names that usually given to our Somali youth. Before Arabs and their mercenaries infected our people, Somalis were proud of their heritage and culture, our beautiful. Somali poems, songs, and oral traditions were something that differentiated Somalis from other African people whose culture and traditions was purged out by white colonizers. Most Somalis who lived in the early twentieth century were proud of their heritage and rich culture, so much so they ostracized people who emulated other cultures like the Arabs.
But nowadays, our culture is receding to the background slowly, but surely. Unlike our forefathers, who had resisted foreign influences; our current Somali generation deifies the Arab Culture and anything and everything associated with Arab people. Most Somalis cannot differentiate between Arab culture, and religion of Islam. Most Somalis I meet think that Arabs and Islam are inseparable and cannot stand exclusively. To them, Arab culture represents this benevolent influence that is untouchable.
Because of this, our beautiful Somali Culture, which stood in more than a millennium, is constantly under attack by bunch of Somali mercenaries hired by Arab rich States to spread their inferior and outdated culture. That is why, you always hear from them that Somalis are “Arabs”, and “we are not black” as if the mere utterance of that sentence would somehow constitute a fact. That is why, our tradition names, like Raage, Geeljire, hannad, Guuleed, which mean something to us, is replaced with “Mohamed”, “Abdi”, and a numerous names that is foreign to us.
Just like how the White man colonized our Land, in early part of the twentieth century, the Arabs wants to colonize and cannibalize our culture in the twenty first century. Unlike the British colonizer and Italians, who just wanted natural resources for their factories in their homeland, the Arabs are more insidious. Arabs want to take the only best and the most enduring natural resources of all, the human brain. Arabs want to make you believe that the Arab people are the best people mankind has ever seen, the best culture on earth, the best genes nature has bestowed upon the universe. They want to change your naming tradition just so that you forget the tradition and culture behind your forefathers names, they want your children to recite how beautiful and magnificent Saudi Arabian cities are, while drilling in to your mind how inferior (Jaahilyua) it is to glorify your ancient cities.
Unlike the White colonizers, who just left when they depleted the natural resources they wanted, Arabs and their mercenaries will not go away, forever, because they colonize the most important organ in the human body, the brain (our collective Somali brains). Arabs, through their mercenaries (AKA Sheikhs) want to change and indoctrinate you to thinking that your names, and call them “Danbi”, they want to change your city names to Arabic names, and they want to purge anything that is associated with our long, and glorious culture.
Their final plan is, to make Somalia the new Sudan – proud African people who have had rich culture and beautiful traditions and now replaced with an inferior, backward tradition full of inconsistences, devoid of art and beauty, and cultural regression.
