Isn't tribalism haram?

Someone needs to enlighten the Odays back home that fighting tribe against tribe was prohibited by the prophet and Allah forbade this! How will our country ever improve if education is nor prioritised over fighting due to arid land and political issues. It's absolutely haram and will land you in either grave torment or hellfire if you are nor forgiven by judgement day.

Us somalis are extremely fortunate we have plentiful resources namely oil, gas, uranium and mineral ores in the metric tons and yet we continue to squander and bicker like uneducated children. Lets hope this new generation will see the light and take examples from every successful nation like Norway and their pension fund and China with their rapid industrialisation plan and educated their families back home so we can work together to achieve what many nations have failed to till this day. We should also learn from failed oil rich nations like those in the Gulf and Saudi Arabia and not sit on our oil wealth without investing wisely. We should also not adopt all aspects of western culture as it leads to depravity and declining birth and marriage rates, and therefore we should only adopt the best of western values and gather western teachers to teach at newly built universities so that our youth can gain free education and fill in the many empty sectors that require youth employment en masse.

We can achieve this within two decades and really improve our nation for the future generations to come. The Muslims we once upon a time the wisest of the nations and created universities and free education! we can and must muster our courage to lead Islam in this regard once again! Free education and building a modern transportation system is a must for us Somalis. The wealth exists, all that is required of us is for us to unify and treat our brethren like our own family.

In conclusion, almost all of our failure and lack of civility can be attributed to something that Islam has already explicitly forbade many centuries ago. How long will it take us to learn?

The elderly back home memorizes the Quran and around 4k hadiths, most of them know all the verses and hadiths that is against killing, anti-tribal wars, anti-unjustice, etc. There was a sheikh who was an imam who was against serving justice on one of his kin, because the victim was someone from other minority clan. They will take what serves them best.
 
They choose what benefits them the most. They all know Quran and are probably great knowledge but fail to act upon it. It's a blessing and a curse.

Such heedless ways of thinking is what prevented us from becoming a stabilised civilisation even when Islam thrived.

one of the reason why Allah swt send Prophet (saw) to the pagans qurashy is tribalism.

Pagan qurashy was soo tapped where they used to have a month where they would pray god and stop everything else however they would push the month back to carry on fighting other tribes.
Prophet saw said it in Hadith those (tribalism/nationlist) isn’t one of us

I wonder what would happen if someone went to Somalia and when tribalist militia or uncles come up to them they speak about how big of a sin tribalism is and we recorded it? How would they respond

We need to try brother. We also need to have an intervention and partner up with our cousins back homes to end tribalism.

The easiest solution is to marry daughters of rivalling tribes to each other so we can all be inter tribally mixed. This also would boost our genetic pool variety leading to more better formed individuals.

I've been saying this for a while the diaspora need an international youth league with the common goal of restoring the homeland and propelling Somalis towards success in both the deen and in terms of politics. Then we integrate our brothers and sisters from back home and induct them into our line of thinking.
