i dont think the elders are outdated. We do need are revolution and i would not just say the youth. There is nothing magical about being young. Our elders where young too, its the movement of time in the most primitive sense, so i dont want to overload the youth. Because the destructive people some now are the youth too, Alshabab is heavily youth movement or youth organization.We the youth , we need a revolution, those elders and their outdated minds need to MOVE!
That's how I feel , I hope there are more Somalis who feel the same.
bro when i was in bari most elders had already moved on , they are just enslaved by the state.Very true very true, I shouldn't generalize them all, but some definitely need to move. I agree with you overall.
There is also the ignorant youth who still think the war happened because of clan, when the reason was simply due to injustice and lack & struggle for resources.Elder from Bosaaso: "Qabil is a serious weapon. It's only bad when you use it against someone. The rest of the time it's for safety."
"Clan system was never a problem, until we had to form a government. Politicians worldwide say anything to get seats. Not unique to us." "Our personal problem is politicizing Clan to gain political power. We need to find a way to separate these two things. Deadly combination."
"What we have always suggested is to make clan an official institution in Somalia. Clan matters discussed in front of a elders senate."
"What these politicians are doing now is foreign to us. It's fake governance so the criminals can loot and the foreigners can rip us off."
"This is a harness to keep us divided and weak so they can create a corrupt elite. That's how majority of African nations function anyway."
We are trying to fit Somali people into a western political system. Our system should be tailor fit for us and our society."
