Somali men have been defeated. The war against us began a long time ago.
Today's generation of Somali men are themselves victims of a brutal reality and a systematic campaign to destroy any semblance of masculinity in what was once a proud race of warriors.
Somalis were the only ethnic group in the entire world to be colonized by more than 4 different colonial powers. This was an attempt to completely shatter the concept of unity amongst Somalis so that in the future they can be gobbled up as a micro ethnic group in artificially created countries.
When the SYL came into being the colonialists realised that decades of colonialism didn't dampen the spirits of the people who dreamed of unitification of all Somali speaking peoples and a Somali super power. After this, they targeted the country and the Somali family.
They sold weapons to every warring faction so that we could live in an abyss of war and turmoil forever. During the civil war years, they would purposefully give more asylum to single mothers with children than nuclear family units. This was done in order to create a new generation of vulnerable Somalis not used to the system who would be victims to every cruel vulture. The Somali boys growing up in such households then became a hopeless and uselesss bunch of degenerates, not knowing what it means to be a man because there is no father in the house. The father, if alive, is probably depressed, living a shit existence going to cafes to avoid the misery of what reality has become in the home. The biggest destruction was to the spirit.
Somali women are the new hope. We Somali men fought for independence, fought for freedom, made Somalia one of the most powerful countries in Africa, before that when we were known as Cushites, we invaded the region, displaced communities, created institutions and were on our way to make our colony reach as far as Mozambique, we miscalculated and are paying the price.
Somali women, its your turn. Show us what you can do.
