Why does every event in somali have to be politicised to suit qabil agendas.
Like for example now with the unpaid soldiers and the ramping up
of attacks by alshabaab. I've seen quite a few posts in this section abusing hawiye and southerners for the attacks. For example that the southern population is working in cahoots with alshabaab. Come on!
If anyone goes to Mogadishu they will see the reality that many citizens live in. Everyone is struggling to survive to make ends meet. Whilst diaspora men put on a suit and take fat cheques for just having a foreign passport.
How do you expect the soldiers to protect the government when no one cares about them? They get a measly wage of $100 a month which goes missing for months. Whilst a xilibaan gets 3k a month and amisom 1200k a month plus rations. So who are they meant to protect?
Imagine you're not paid wages for months..no one is willing to give you a loan anymore..food rations are cut off...you can't pay rent and your family is starving.
Alshabaab come to your checkpoint and drop you some dollars. Do you really expect the soldier to be loyal to the gov when no one gives a damn about him. Doesn't matter if he is hg/abgaal/mx/mj/rx/isaaq. It's the same outcome.
It is easy to talk along qabil lines when you're living a comfortable life in the west.
