Somalia

[Amal Hassan]

What do you guys think of family/people who just speak about Somalia constantly? It’s like they are stuck on a Somalia before the civil war and don’t want to move forward with their lives in the west like home ownership, better living standards. I’m finding it to be a form of ptsd??. I know many elders or our parents must have some ptsd from Somalia and escaping. You want to return to Somalia which I understand but Somalia is not how it use to be. a lot of ppl have lost family, relatives. We have to acknowledge that we will live in the west for a long time before Somalia can be rebuilt to how it was and therefore we have to build careers, marriages, network, friendships etc...

Also I know a lot of people who have not returned to Somalia many times and they get upset after 20+ years because nothing is the same or much of their family/friends are gone. Walahi it’s really sad but we should make an effort where we live so we can enjoy our life.

Do you guys plan to buy property in the west or Somalia? & what are your views?

True,so have you met people like this or in your family? You can’t rent forever you have to somehow climb the property ladder if we want to live here for a long time

Not really most of my fam work and invest most of their money back home. But struggle with general living here, don’t bother with things as they would if they lived in Somalia. Dont want to mingle with others or network.

Nah tbh I want to save up for a home here and as much I would love own shops in Somalia how can I take of them if I live in Canada? It’s just not realistic & it’s your responsibility if anything happens and you live somewhere else

That’s rare many Somalis don’t believe in mortgages as it’s haram so they don’t own property in the west. But my family has many homes in Africa

You act as if the west will be a permanent abode for muslims.

History repeats itself eventually far-right will gain power and kick your foreign ass out.

It’s permanent for now. If you live in a place for 20 years+. We won’t be kicked out don’t be stupid.

So you base your judgement on duration, delusional you need to read more.

He wants to cope and find an excuse to be white washed. He wants to spend the rest of his life in the west and hopefully his kids too.
