Thanks for the comments. Keep them coming. The more the better.
After receiving so many emails and even phone calls... some too low and some even trying to use the old fashion tactics of threat, social media rubbish. I have quickly recorded this while in Istanbul https://www.facebook.com/590467600/videos/1301483897285105/ to give a piece of my mind.
C'mon, we can do better. Hussein and I honestly don't care about tribalism... in fact, it may surprise many, neither of us ever asked or know our 4.5 periodic table number! If you get the gist of where I am going with this.
We are working on book that will call spade a spade, a kind of reference book that will shed light on the distorted Somali history. Stay tuned.
Although I look with interest of whatever is written about the countries of our fathers, I feel really sad reading this article. Because I never contemplated such abuse of power could’ve happened in Somalia in the past. But what is worse than past corruption, is todays scenario of mayhem, disorder and destruction. May almighty Allah make a way for Somalis.
Fruits of yesteryear's corruption is today's anarchy, destruction, explotiative incompetence. The going is getting tougher with no way back towards the abyss. Is there no way out for poor Somalis?
It is very interesting to read your insight and how tribalism planted the seeds to destroy the country. What we see now is even worse and literally incomparable with the past. We replaced corruption with destruction and chaos. I know someone who was a driver, ran away while on parole, and zero education was appointed as a minster in Somalia. Nowadays, if a government minster can speak any foreign language is a miracle as most of the minsters are uneducated and inexperienced - the bar is so low. We have crossed all the red lines and maybe there are no more lines to cross.

What forces Somalis to choose tribalism over nationalism? Why tribalism used to be and is currently Somalis number one enemy?
I never would have imagined this to be a reality for Somali diplomacy, but I’m glad the story was shared. Very insightful
