Whoever introduced political flags to Somalis had no idea the chokehold it’d have on Somalis

[Caaro]

For such a small and homogenous ethnic group, we seem to have dozens of flags, most of which have no history and have been created within the past century.

does anyone else find it so cringe?

Not much effort has been put into the flags either. Make a flag on ms paint, print it out on tshirts, dirac’s and bracelet and suddenly you have a new flag Somalis will start repping.

every sub-sub-sub qabiil has their own flag, every region has their own flag, every wannabe state has one too lmfao.

Flags have not been a part of Somali culture to this extent. I’m seriously so confused where this infatuation with flags came from.

could it be because most Somalis feel very lost and don’t seem to carry a national identity they resonate with so they create their own regional flags to place their pride in?

by the way, this isn’t me saying we shouldn’t have flags. Like yeah sure, have a flag for puntland state or whatever, that makes sense. But Somalis are the only people who wave their state flag like its their pride.

I can’t think of other nations that do this.

Because every clan is in effect a nation and a political bloc and this our inheritance from the past, nothing much has changed since the days of the Tirri and Harla and Madanle.
