We are from a culture that doesn’t like mixing with others.
I can list tons of close associates from my circle that have successfully married outside of their culture despite the barriers they overcame.
But nonetheless
@babooshke what xaliimos and faaraxs do in their lives is their business.
We can't be the judge and carry out the sentencing.
Should we even be in that predicament , overstressing about the lifes of complete strangers online and their marital preferences.
Sxb you make it seem like we Somalis don't interact with others , what about the first Ajuuraan merchants in the 15th to the Mughal that brought spices to our Peninsula did they brought their wives no , they married women from the Malayalam community.
When the British indentured labour to sea faring communities in Northern Somalia they brought to work in the docks of
HMS British colonial Territories and some even worked in the West Indies what is known today the Caribbean , some even participated in the war of Burma against the Japanese , many of them were later resettled in Aden, Yemen , Hyderabad , India , Cardiff , Wales and Cape Town , South Africa .
Only a handful have returned to their homelands.
Those young men in their twenties married the local women since they had no choice , it was not until the late 1960's where the Somali community of Wales managed to bring over their families and that was partially successful.
But the Somalis that remained had no choice.
I know many old coloureds in their 60's
, with partial Isaaq/ Dhulbahante/Warsangeli ancestry here in Cape Town even Hareeri the famous Somali journalist went to visit them.
Unfortunately.
One of them just passed away recently.
