i don’t understand how my comment about kenya’s crimes against somalis could be used for strawman arguments, how insensitive and disrespectful to the brave somali heros who’ve sacrificed their lives to liberate NFD.I also don't believe in ridiculing Somali Kenyans who wear Kenyan bracelets. many of them are completely alienated from Somali culture or simply ignorant of history, which is not entirely their fault, of course. the right approach would be to educate them because they are most likely indoctrinated and influenced by kenyan propaganda in schools and as a result, they’ve learned to dissociate from somalis socially. you can observe that same pattern of behavior here in the west where kenyan somalis choose to identify as kenyans or bluff about their parents being from Kenya to foreigners.
you're also ignoring the fact that Kenya has committed mass ethnic cleansing against somalis. over five thousand Somalis were rounded up and detained, confined at the Wagalla airstrip, stripped naked and starved without food and water for days. moving on to my point, I'll never forget the horror stories my mother told me about; blood, severed limbs, rotting dead bodies, scattered brains, and mass graves that my grandfather witnessed.
my maternal awoowe, may God have mercy on his soul, was beaten, tortured, and left to starve before he managed to escape the Wagalla airstrip in Kenya. he fought every day of his life to liberate NFD, i would never betray him wearing that filthy bracelet.
