| Somali intellectual and traditional leaders have thrown the nation into abyss with good intention! Somali people perceived themselves as one tribe that shares common culture. The intellectuals and traditionalist took this notion into their heart and tried to create a nation with new identity and new concept. The chieftains wanted to sacrifice the history of the society and their real composition, and this caused the chieftains to face a loud and violent opposition from large segment of the society. These clashes frustrated the chieftains, confused the serfs, and forced the nation into sleeper-slope. The chiefs with their noble intention failed to sugar-coat their idea, and they chose to bury the past at any cost. The people in Somalia are ethnically from different part of the world. Some people crossed over the ocean with the intension of establishing a gate way into Africa. Others Somali’s came into this oasis for grazing and sanctuary. |
