I'm sick of seeing Somali assimilation. Okay, don't get me wrong, i don't mean willful assimilation. Somalis are incredibly good at keeping their religion, their morals and their traditions intact. (Idc about exceptions)
But for some reason, there's a sort of ''unwillful'' assimilation happening, innit? younger Somalis forgetting the Somali language, and moving away from the heritage they themselves love.
And the funny thing is that many of these younger kids who are unable to speak proper Somali, are Somali nationalists, and love their culture, but just doesn't know how to *express* it.
Insha Allah, if Allah helps me with this, i'm going to found a Somali organization, idk what to call it, but some kind of culture-preserving institution. It can also be good for people who wants to return to the homeland, but wants to freshen their identity up.
