A lot of people I know who I have spoken to about don’t want anything to do with the place until the qabil mindset is vanished. My mother’s side of the family always brings up incidents about what’s happening to gabooye back home. Honestly it seems they don’t want to go back for safety reasons. My mother has encountered a lot of racism because of being gabooye. She told that was a reason why she hasn’t traveled back since.
My father doesn’t really talk about qabil issues. He was raised in Mogadishu and said he didn’t face really any problems growing up. He said Mogadishu has a lot of different qabils there and is pretty accepting. I don’t know if that’s true or not but I took his word for it.
@Sheikh @nine is that true? Mogadishu is pretty accepting? That’s what my father said.
But anyways Both of them haven’t really tried to encourage me or my siblings to go to somalia and help fix the place up. They only encouraged us to stay in school get a degree and find a nice stable job making good money.
I haven’t heard any of my friends talk about helping develop somalia. When I did bring up in a convo a couple months ago they all just brought up how its messed up with qabil issues, safety reasons, and pay.
We got a generation of somalis graduating college pretty soon. With some already working.
I personally honeslty don’t know if I want to move back. The way my mother described it doesn’t seem well to me. I will most likely go there in a vacation but until than I can’t make any decisions.
