I decided to shut down social media and Somali politics after this it's over

I apologize to everyone if I have offended anyone. Let us forgive each other; we are all Muslims.

That is why I have not been engaged in Somali politics for a while. It is simply a matter of realising that we will remain a people in diaspora for all eternity, and that your children and grandchildren will grow up in the West whether you like it or not.
 
I seriously doubt it. A lot of people here, like you, never seem to move on from their grudges and coolaad toward the wider Somali collective.

It feels like there’s no cure for it , maybe because the internet keeps people insulated in echo chambers. They just log on, crash out on forums or social media, and look for examples and anecdotes to fuel their doom-posting.

Meanwhile, if you check any Western diaspora media, you’ll find reports of murders, arson, and all kinds of violence happening regularly. They don't involve Somalis at all.


For example, here are two recent UK stories:




They constantly release this type of stuff on their social media outlets:


But I don’t see anyone making endless threads about "those" cases. Maybe you and @Avalanche should do that make threads like “Another murder in the UK” or “Family burned to death tragic but expected.” Be creative with the titles!

After all, it’s very important for the “forever diaspora” and tahriib merchants to know that paradise has its problems too.

Well, I wasn't referring specifically to this incident, but more generally to the fact that Somali politics is highly polarised and corrupt. There is no glimmer of hope in sight.

I always say this but some are prone to catastrophizing and somalis seem to have lower tolerance for extreme incidents than most other people imo ..
