A djiboutian told me this alsoI don't really think it's an arabization, but rather Djiboutians themselves doing this. I remember a super famous Arab YouTuber went to visit Djibouti and a Somali told him that even if a Yemeni just came yesterday, they will consider them a Djiboutian. Go to 8:07 in the video and listen.
This is nothing short of pathetic.I grew up in Middle East. Most believe we’re another Arab speaking dark skinned country like Sudan. No one forced u to join the Arab league.
Plus, from my observation, it’s nothing malicious.
Not trying to be disrespectful but the two guides he had on his trip are coons. They’re telling this ajnabi that he’s eating Yemeni food and he asks them what language they’re speaking when they’re ordering food and they say English, Arabic and Somali when they’re clearly speaking Somali.
Modern Westernized Somalis hate Arabs for various reasons that extremely dubious. They act as if Arabs traded their ancestors as slaves, this is due them identifying as Black so they feel like Arabs enslaved them too second are hypocrites and gaalo in hiding in the Somali community who associate Arab with Islam, old school Somali were never pro Arab or anti Arab they didn’t care about them which shows so much confidence and classWell what is this obsession with what Somalis think of Arabs? Who cares? Imo there is an agenda to get Somalia to go to war with the Houthies. This is the only explanation for this divide and conquer. I never heard Somalis talk about Arabs like this in the 90s. So its some agenda and I think that is the plan.
There is also a push to train Somalis to fight the Houthies. They will lift the weapons embargo of Somali and they have been focusing on building an US military base for this reason. Imo they will cause the Sunni/Shia rift and cause Somalia to go to war. I think Kenyans along with Americans/Saudis are behind this. This much focus on a small country is suspicious. Possibly Ethiopians might be behind it too. Something doesnt make sense with this Somali hate.
Its idiotic. Ignorant and hateful for no reason. They can call me a c00n I don't give a shyt. They can never make me dislike any group of people. It reminds me of some Iranians and Indians as well. How can they put all the blame on Arabs because the deen started there? The hell, we are born where the hell we are born. Granted I think Indians have tried appeasement and have been docile for a long time with the hotheaded Pakistanis who look down on them. So I can understand why there is some hatred towards Pakistanis but the term Arab being used as a slur is getting ridiculous.Modern Westernized Somalis hate Arabs for various reasons that extremely dubious.

We must practice balance with the Arabs never show them any inferiority complex like blaming them for our own issues, or giving them dominion over Islam and Muslims, don’t praise and don’t insult, if you show an Arab any weakness he’ll start behaving worse than White slave owners in the Southern US ….Somalis don’t understand this victim persona they too along with Black people makes them look weak and that’s why they get disrespectedIts idiotic.

The craziest is Nigerians who claim we self hate for being Muslim when they have millions of Muslims themselves. So if being Muslim is self hate, 1.5 billion Muslims hate themselves. Btw Iranians constantly go after Ilhan Omar too its ridiculous.
I used have this issue with hating Arabs as well, over the ridicule and wanting to fit in with black circles. But they dont like us but pretend its one sided from our side. They see us an inferior. They do the same with biracials now who are now colonizers lmao. Hahaha
I can’t help but notice the Arab propaganda of this Djibouti vlog, which reminded me of the talks recently of Arab being indigenous to southern Somalia cities. Thoughts?
I don't really think it's an arabization, but rather Djiboutians themselves doing this. I remember a super famous Arab YouTuber went to visit Djibouti and a Somali told him that even if a Yemeni just came yesterday, they will consider them a Djiboutian. Go to 8:07 in the video and listen.

Everything stems from us being in an extremely weak state. If somali governments were strong and prosperous, we would have proper history of our nation. Foreigners get to claim our cities without pushback because we haven’t done anything to combat the we wuzzing permeated by westerners and carabs. If we had proper sources and proper states, none would dare.
Even Djibouti is weak. Ever since they got independence, they must have de-empathised their somali identity in order to appease other groups living there.
You are all correct in some way Djibouti Somalis have accepted this notion that Djibouti is a multiethnic nation and that Arabs are also indigenous. The situation there is terrible I’m hearing the natives are now a minority in the capital where majority of the population lives.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.

mehh.. whats really driving anti-arab sentiments in somali society is arab gulf states and their interference in somali politicsModern Westernized Somalis hate Arabs for various reasons that extremely dubious.

I also blame our leaders that are allowing ajnabis like Oromos and Arabs that hate and mistreat Somalis to live in our countries.
There is definitely a movement to make 5 Somali weyn states shared with other ethnic groups to weaken us.
Sadly this true Somalis are seen as a threat , I was shocked about the Somali Bantu and cad cad narrative at first because I felt like it was unprovoked but I can see now there is definitely agenda behind it.Fundamentally speaking it's far easier for non somali Muslims in the horn to accept the djbouti or Ethiopia multi-ethnic narrative than it is for them to accept a somali-centric one. I mean look at the narrative struggle you have with the somali bantu and cad cads who are basically for the most part somali.
The somai narrative will ultimately struggle to find any support from non somali Muslims in the horn because there is no room for them in our civilizational narrative.
