Lack of adequate universities in the country led previous Somali governments to send students with exceptional abilities abroad. Some went to Western nations while others were enrolled in socialist institutions of Russia and Eastern bloc countries. Upon return to home a row began between them due to the different vision they are are holding. This has created misunderstanding between the two factions.
When the war broke out people have again become divided by tribe and clan politics. They forgot to protect what they belonged in common. They destroyed all facilities including hospitals and schools and any other structure that was originally known to be a government property.
In the old government days
We had two strange Officers
One was trained in the US
The other in the Ex-Soviet
One supported capitalism
The other loved Socialism
In the philosophy of development
They had different vision
They had different outlook
They pulled the nation apart
In the present day of chaos
We have two strange neighbors
One belongs to this X-clan
The other is from that Y-clan
They share little in common
They rarely talk each other
They rarely help each other
Their zone is laden with dirt
No one bothers to clean it
The water pipes are broken
No one bothers to fix them
They attend tribal meetings
But never come together to meet
Common property thus neglected
Individualism is on the rise
Devil is pulling them apart
They speak of nationhood
When they killed neighborhood
A cart never comes before the horse
Brother Abdi-Noor, continue to share your teaching and vision, maybe some day we shall all learn. It is the same here in America the devil is very busy.. d evil, d veil demonstrates. Peace, love and blessings.Mikii
You've penned a painful reality, one that far too many live with--well done, my brother!
You are ever in my prayers--(((HUGS))) and love, your sister, Karla.

It would seem the world is in this space. I cannot help but see a positive possibility. If these two clans find a way to find peace between themselves they can then take their knowledge to the world and bring about the world peace we have all been praying and dreaming about! Thank you for this informative write.
they speak of nationhood when they killed neighborhood. this is a lesson we could learn here in america also. if each unit, from family up to nation takes care of itself in the right way, it would solve prolbems all the way up the ladder
Once again your ability to think lucidly is a great gift, which I hope can lead to some improvement within those you are able to reach, Abdi Noor. You have a gift of discernment and I pray it will lead to helping your country. God bless you and yours!
Love,
Eileen

Portland, Oregon is known as the City of Roses. Of course that’s an odd name for a city whose mere mention conjures images of driving winds and torrential ra

Another powerful lesson for us all, Abdi-Noor, and I believe that many forget today that unless we all work together, nothing will ever get better.
