Yeah totally. I think when people are just trying to survive, they aren’t thinking about the future. So when they tear down trees, destroy vegetation, etc. they are not being malicious, they just haven’t learned better and are trying to survive in the moment. If every Somali back home was well fed, we could all join together and plan everything out while teaching the locals about the effects their current actions (or lack there of) has on generations to come. I honestly think all this al Shabab talk and clan talk would subside if people were actually given proper nutrition( this is the most basic necessity), and could see their futures improving...why is it that so many Somalis and elderly are homeless when we have so much limestone and other materials...it would take 1 group of well rounded and educated Somalis to build simple houses for them (like the ancient ones seen in Yemen or Saudi for example), and another group feeding them and teaching them the skills to feed themselves like farming and how to take care of their cattle...then another group keeping the government in check on behalf of citizens...i feel like small steps like this could make big changesWe can and are obligated too by educating the locals back home. We must take control of the country by the millions. That's the only way we can retire back home.
