What you said is very true. This reminds of my Ghanaian friend . She was telling me how she believed in child witches, and she was like all Africans believe in this. I said Somalis don't believe in all the child witch crap and she told me Somalis are not "real" African.
Somalis in some ways are not as caawan as the madow, we don't burn witches and we don't cut up albinos for good luck, neither do we believe sleeping with virgins cures aids. Nevertheless, it stands as a fact that we are in very sorry state, even worse than most of these primitive African countries. So my question still stand, what the hell is wrong with us Somalis and what does it take to fix this mess?
Good points sis. We are definitely not cawaan like them that's for sure. I just think the war we lost in 77 and the subsequent collapse of the government in 91 precipitated a series of cultural, environmental and socio-economic disasters that are impossible to solve without a central government. A nation without a government is like a group of children with no parents, it's bound to be a disaster no matter how good, bright and outstanding those kids could have been.
