This is just a logical view to explain Somali civil war using basic scientific thinking which I think will convince anyone on this forum why it happened and what caused it. We hear the constant 'this clan is bad' and this 'clan did that' and for 30 years we been using this rheteoric and still our situation hasn't changed. Now clearly if this was the case that one clan is responsible, then the issue would've been resolved a long time ago and we would be able to move on. So please stop this baseless shit that darod or hawiye or isaaq or whatever are responsible for this and that because we applied this method for 30 years and it's clearly proving to everyone, weli xal lagama gaadhin. So if there is no solution, therefore our clan blaming is clearly not the answer, we can't keep repeating the same line over and over again when nothing is changing outside. We need to put this under the lense of 'science' and see what happened.
In my view this is what happened. Somali cushitic culture is responsible, it's primitive form of thinking into clan identity, they don't understand concepts of 'governance' because they never had unified leaders because being a pastoralist you don't really need anything beyond clan chiefs because your primary way of living is just to search for water and grow your livestock. They don't have time for anything else because when your 'food and water' which is essential to life is not 'guaranteed' you can't pursue education or knowledge or develop a higher culture. Look at all the pastoral groups around the world today, they simply can't develop a higher culture because their way of living refuses it. If me and you were in remote part of the world like say with bedouin, we wouldn't be sitting down talking about knowledge because we have to feed ourselves first before we can even speak about such topic.
That's why when you settle, you have food and water so it's not as urgent anymore to worry about your livlihood so you can pursue other things in your time. Look at us now as we exchange in knowledge exchange, this wouldn't happen if we weren't settled to begin with.That's how societies that are farming based develop, they are settled, they have food source covered through herding animals and also farming the land, that's two 'sources' of food right there. They always live nearby 'water' have you noticed so they have their water needs covered. This will give such society 'ample' time to progress because they got nothing better to do now.
What happened to Somalis as a whole was they never got rid of this ancient cushitic culture so when they settled or began farming they kept onto this 'primitive' mind-set by displacing the superior farming bantu and we never adopted his culture which is what needed to happen. Just like bush-man needs to adopt a cushitic culture as his next natural step above bush man and hunting and gathering living. That's why you see some cushitics who are still 'semi bushman' and performing huntings, because the two lifestyles are very close to each other. That's why you see some somalis not too long ago were full blown hunters and some are part time hunters still like 'eyle'. You can live both types of life. But have you seen farmers they are usually farming full time and have pastoralism as a 'side' thing roaming their farming land. So farmers are basically 'settled pastoralist' their basically 'cushites' who settled and kept some of their 'old practises alive' and they diversified their food source from not relying on just wandering around for water but found 'water' at rivers and decided to settle next to it and eventually they figured out 'farming' the land is an additional source of food in-case animals dies.
Anyways back to the topic of Somalia, even if you settle a cushite into a city or farming if he doesn't give up his old cultural ways, he won't 'care' for knowledge and education and creating systems, you need to give up the old cushitic sub clanning mind-set because this is going to stop him from ever forming a 'kingdom' which is the next 'natural' step to administration. You don't go from 'farming' to 'empire' there is even 'steps' you need to achieve before like establishing a 'king' over your given territory which is your 'farmlands' who are answerable to you. This is the first form of governance and superior to the 'clan chief' structure of cushites who have no 'agreed upon 'leader' in their culture because their culture isn't to 'facilitate' nation building.
Anyhow what happened is Somalis needed to adopt 'bantu lifestyle' and 'culture'. It doesn't matter if you don't want to marry them or not, because even if you marry them and swap genes, it doesn't mean your culture has become any 'richer' or has been 'upgraded'. No it's not swapping genes, it's about swapping 'mind-sets' and how you live in the world. Cushites want to live as 'every clan is their ruler' and Bantu structure is vastly different 'every tribe' has a king, there is no sub-clan groupings or every sub clan is a ruler. Like Kikuyu, that's it. Like Amhara that's it. Like Tigray, that's it soo ma arag. Hoos uma deg-degan iyagu because they established a rule over a 'tribe' this is the first step to a kingdom. They definitely had 'kingdoms' because all the ingredients is in their culture. They can move to next step which is 'nation state' combine 'tribes' into one nation which is where they are now and as you can see their not having a good time with it but their 'far more ahead of us' who can't even unite the 'somali tribe' which is one tribe only.
We need to adapt Bantu way to make the next progression, we can't jump from cushite pastoralist set p to 'western' thinking overnight, we need to have 'steps' before that which need to be achieved. Those steps are the Bantu, once we adopt the bantu culture, we can create a nation state immediately since somali is essentially one tribe. If you separated all the african tribes today into nation states, they can move forward but we as somalis wouldn't because we are not set up with bantu culture or habesha culture or any farming culture. Their making the next progress step to nation state, we need to make the next step to 'farming' culture. Not meaning farming the land only and having a cushite sub clan culture, that's stupid. I mean we need to adopt the whole cultural mind-set of bantu and this can only happen if we 'co exist' with them and over time we will find their system superior and we gradually blend it into our culture.
But right now you got basically 68 IQ cushites that are settled into cities, coasts, farms who are not settled into 'cultural way of living' their still 'nomadic' mind-set and spend their time all about 'qabil' because we haven't upgraded our culture, it's still primitive and the world is laffing at us and saying how can u not 'unite one tribe' which all african bantu can do such thing. We are behind Bantu and shouldn't even think about nation state requiring different tribes and languages to co-exist. We are one language, one race, one everything. We are similar t o the ashanti in ghana level or the kikuyu or amhara level. They can create kikuyu state and power on tommorow to first world status if they wanted to, their is no 'sub clan inside' their culture, they became superior farming settlers and had one king at all time. That's what u need before you can move to nation state.
