In a nation plagued by civil war and whose people are 80% or more uneducated, the chances of evil to breed comfortably is quite high. People could be easily lured into the strings of tribalism. They even take any project they are offered to survive in a situation of anarchy and lawlessness.
I paid a visit to a tribal camp
It is where the fool feels clever
It is where the coward feels brave
It is where the crook feels gentle
It is where the dark confronts light
It is where evil converges at a point
It is the source of chaos and strife
It is the garden of all types of losers
It is a most primitive place to live in
It casts a shadow of doubt upon life
The law of the jungle reigns high
The stronger you are the better
Robbery is a means of survival
Decency is shame
People only fear
They don't respect
A tribalist has no personality
He can't speak up openly
He can't open up freely
He is a prisoner of his tribe
He is a hostage to the devil

I pray that our creator will show mercy to all. I wish peace, love, and blessings to you and yours. Thtough tears I feel for your country and countrymen and my country and my countrymen. Mikii
Abdi Noor,it tears the heart to feel so helpless. I pray Creator will help find solutions for you and your countrymen. I pray you and your family will not tire of keeping the faith. That you will continue writing and praying for guidance and help. May all of our prayers be answered soon!
A thought provoking, heartbreaking question. One way is to keep writing about this outrage...and educating the supoosedly smart ones who ignore your people, your nation. You and your family, your country, are ever in my prayers.
