MY TIME IN SOMALIA !! ASK ME ANYTHING

@AbdiFreedom you were right
When we went to a restaurant I only saw my mum get up to pray yaab
Tbh Somalis do pray but it’s depends on the individual . The city doesn’t stop and you don’t get attacked not praying

Also Why are all the mannequins BBL , no one is into the skinny beauty standard there

There’s no Italian influence expect for the food

noticeable Middle Eastern and Indian community

1/4 of moqdisho and surrounding areas are Bantu

I felt under dressed going to certain events / avenues , girls are dressed up like billy Marshall Ig


Never seen so many Somalis with straight / wavy hair but Somali men don’t grow their hair out at all
I saw one with a big Afro it looked great

People on social media act like Somali culture dying but it’s there and everywhere so calm down with the pessimism

most women wear half jilbaab and under is baati
Women walk around in their neighbourhoods with baatis and gabarsars

hormuud owns Somalia lol they might as well be the government

internet connection is 10/10

camel everything, meat , milk , skincare

why are animals roaming around the streets

some parts are developed others look like shanty towns

checkpoints everywhere

Somalias coastline is Huge I want there to be a women’s only beach .

the people at jaziira beach were very nice

NICKNAMES are real lmfao
One small person came to our car and the driver was like here comes the queen of the little people

Somali people can be very rude more compassion is needed , they way the men were talking to each other I’m surprised hands were not thrown

I didn’t see many diaspora from Anglo speaking countries but Arab countries .

Somalis in xamar only listen to Somali music even got my brother listening to it on his own

the billboards were either foreigners or average looking Somali people ( not lighter etc , Cant say the same for asia ) I only saw billboards for Somali tv shows .
 
A lot of construction going on , the private sector is moving faster than the public one

this is how I imagine the city to look like very soon
Also the apartment etc they’re building are nice and fit the city it’s the houses that have been built that sometimes don’t fit the coastal city

Also old xamar the buildings are destroyed still standing I was told they can’t fix it bc of the owners is that true ?

the weather was 10/10 , very warm but windy
 
I saw a Somali albino
he looked European , he was begging are they discriminated against ??

You cant visit must of the statues and monuments unless your with someone from the gov

the national museum opened its exhibition for free recently so u can go

also I went to an place that turns into a club after midnight lol

Im glad you enjoyed your visit.

Chronically online people are beyond hope, they pick and choose degenerate Somalis and act like they represent everyone back home.
checkpoints everywhere
Alx, i think the increased checkpoints resulted in way less bombings from Al-kebab. They are annoying but I would rather get stuck in traffic for 30 min than for innocent people to be killed mercilessly.
I didn’t see many diaspora from Anglo speaking countries but Arab countries .
Did you check out daresalam, it is a small towni(ish) full of newly built estates that are almost exclusively filled with diaspora from the west.

unfortunately, albinos face face discrimination in all of Africa.
In Tanzania, they used to kill them and harvest their organs because for witch-doctors to make charms and amulets out of them.


Did u visit Beerta nabada, I went there in 2018 and it looked gorgeous?
Did people notice you were a diaspora? They knew I wasn't local, I don't know how, probably a secret sixth sense.
How was the airport experience?
I Hated it, the lines were too long, and it felt like there was so much chaos.
Furthermore, the amount of white people that work for NGOs arriving in the airport has me puzzled tbh, I rarely see their "Non-profit work".
I think the west should cut all aid from African countries so the leader get scared about people rising up against them and actually do their jobs properly.
 
Most photo ops are taken in nice areas. Are the slums at least being built up? I’m no socialist but for Somalis I am. It would feel weird trying to enjoy xamar if people are living in crippling poverty across the street.

Are you sure the albino is ethnic somali? From what I’ve seen most somali albinos are somali bantu since southeast africans have a much higher rate of albinism.

I didn’t go to that park unfortunately but I did go beerta banadir , I had the best cappuccino there
Also Somali shaar is 10/10
They definitely noticed I was diaspora but I did try and pretended I was born in the country they would laugh at me lol some kids were like u must be disabled or something bc y cant u speak the language when I said I’m from balcad .
The airport is rafad lol the only place I saw ajnabis
I saw a Chinese family and cadaans . African troops turkish people at the airport

also clearly only the parks u have to pay for are the public spaces people can congregate which explains why everyone is always at the beach

I think it was the same before the war I saw this pic but I think that’s a hotel these seats belong to
It’s unfortunate the light house collapsed

Interested

Quite the Islamist.
I can’t remember neighbourhood

wdym by TikTok degeneracy but definitely everyone uses Snapchat / Tiktok but it should be banned .
Seemed like it was your first time..was there for few years when I was a kid..plan on visiting soon InshaAllah.

Some idiots in tiktok esp from Xamar really make the diaspora seem like ultra conservative :vo3yidw:
