Growing up, I was taught by my parents that the Habeshas were our enemies and are bad people solely just because they're christian and they're occupying Ogaden. But I always felt like it was more about them being Christian. I don't know why Somalis hate Christians so much.
But now that I'm older and have met many habeshas, they're really very kind, humble and friendly people. Incredibly beautiful culture and fascinating history. Deep down I'm very jealous that they kept their rich culture and heritage in tact.
I've never met a rude, unfriendly or racist habesha. All of them have been so sweet and miskeen. When I tell them I'm Somali, I don't feel any bad vibes from them.
Somalis need to stop being so anti-Christian. I feel like that's why Somalis have always hated habeshas. Who cares. Everyone to their own religion.
