Growing up as a Somali in the UK 

Hamam Ahmed well said, i’m praying for Somalia, there’s tribalism everywhere in Somali communities but the one in Somalia is getting out of hand. Insha’Allah we will go through this as Somali. Much love from djibouti

This👍

hmm

Well Islam didn't help so what hope do they have

@@bahdonismael5012 wasnt somalia really a peaceful place 50 years back?

The Coder that’s what I’ve been saying forever, it’s because they left when it was so clan orientated so they have that mixed mindset still.

Exactly

I can't disagree with that.

The Coder So true wallahi

absolutely they are the worst

Aris Totle wtf is this comment?

@@teth. if you don't understand, you could ask for an explanation in a less immature fashion. If you do understand and have an issue with it you could maybe try better to articulate them so it could be addressed.

@@UnknownSend3r lmaoooooo im laughing so hard at this interaction

@@hagoshardaways9274 what is it your laughing at ? I kinda found it annoying tbh

@@UnknownSend3r both of your reactions were funny to me. I will have my own opinion just like you have yours. Thank you and good night

True

I DEFINITELY AGREE!

Not all the diaspora..more in europe and arabia

Somali shidan Daily I'm the 1% which is not Somali

I'm Caribbean

Definitely we do.

And prosper InshAllah

eritrean here

Thank you!

Thank you for your kind words.

For me, essentially comes down to social/economical/cultural advantage V.S disadvantage. I fervently believe the disadvantage outweighs the advantage/benefit it brings to the table. Find it VERY DIFFICULT to swallow the idea that a cultural practice that disunite and hinders its own people the ability to grow and prosper can, in any form or sharp, be attributed with a solitary positive force.

No there is nothing good about qabilisim

Yes we know that, its even said in our holy quran to know one another but not to despise and hate each other but i guess we somalis don't know how to get along with tribalism involved. So its better off with out it! 😬

It's not tribes, it's clans.

we love you too bro

Me too, I am South Sudanese and I totally respect Somali peoples.

Your feedback and suggestions is highly noted. Waad ku mahadsantahay fikradaada ah in luqaada af Somaliga lagu hadlo.

Que_Rico Wow, That is so shocking and saddening.

What is somali/ethiopian? Identity crisis of the highest level.

@@geletoz Lot's of somalis are mixed in MN its nothing new at all. We don't care about tribalism over here lol.

@@geletoz you do know there is a lot of somalis who have a oromo or afar parent? Especially in somaliland or west somalia? You wouldn't even be able to tell unless you're around ethiopians a lot.

@@shueibdahir what is Somaliland? Is that the land of the Somali? How does the land of Somali mix with afar?

They only see the bad side of trablism allah swt says we created tribes to recognize and help each others

But we can't ignore the fact that most of the bigger issues - especially those that attract our attention and that of the media - are for the most part the negative consequences of tribalism. Look at the war. Look at some social issues like: marriage proposals been declined due to tribe a person(not often but a lot especially between clans that have had feuds). Do we, as a somali, even practice fairness? even the most just amongst us is unconsciously affected by tribalism. From my experience, as someone who grew up in both Somalia and Kenya, I can say I wouldn't blame any parent if they talked to their kids about the bad side of tribalism. What is important at this stage is to understand each other's point of view and admit that we have had problems with how we use tribe and focus on how we should resolve the matter for the betterment of ourselves and that of the future of Somalis in the world. We have lagged behind the rest of the world not because we lack the skills or knowledge, but because we can't work together on what benefits us all.

kulamada Tv don’t bring religion to justify this. I just heard about a girl who was gang raped in Somalia and killed after, and the killers getting out because they were from a bigger clan. Is that what Allah wanted? Have some heart!! And what about the jareer dude and the midgane, Somalis will never achieve anything until there’s equality. I’m not saying that you need to reject ur ancestor but you need to think about the youth and futur of the country. Unity..always. Love from djibouti 🇩🇯

@@bahdonismael5012 exactly! Btw I love Djibouti, my family have always found it quite peaceful and beautiful

Nusaybah Ibrahim thanks 😊 always great to see my bros and sis from Somalia coming to the country. We love Somalis where ever they from, they are welcome to djibouti.

Tribalism ruined Somalia

ye its shepherd's bush west ldn! i live round there so i recognised it too

@@salmam7077 thought so :)

NBA Youngboy's Son we love Sudan 🇸🇩 too ❤️

Mahamed Omer Masha’Allah Adeer look forward to meeting you... email me on sakaria_hassan@hotmail.com

@@sakariaawke6437 bro, did you read Surah Maryam because it starts with the story of Nabi zackaria (allayhi wasalam) or was it a coincidence ?

Mohamed Abdillahi True say Kenya has 40 tribes

Mr Nonstop24 very true but that ain’t going to happen so what’s next bro.

Mr Nonstop24 because soo much people are benefiting from Somalia’s current state. Everything is in the hands of Allah and I prey it happens but in the mean time we need to do other things like use our raw materials, Rivers fish agriculture more efficiently.

Mr Nonstop24 I think we need to create jobs people are only chewing Khayr mostly because of boredom and too much free time I agree with you though it’s a prominent issue I just think it’d be easier to create jobs though process I bought up earlier than to ban Khat but Allah knows best.

Khat*

They ain't have no religion bro. Just a set up

This is the dumbest take I've seen here. You're truly blind or utterly ignorant if you don't see how destructive tribal thinking has been to us. It's why we are refugees and displaced.

No we are not because of tribes, we are being given excuses. Somali’s are in the west because of greed and a corrupted ex leader. If tribes were the reason why did Somali’s come together in the past to form modern day Somalia there is more to the conflict wake up

Same here in Sheffield. There were only seven families and elderly men who arrived pre WW2. I loved visiting Manchester, Liverpool, Newport, Cardiff and London during the summer holidays. Great times. Everything post '88 changed things for the worse in my humble opinion.

We probably kind each other in that case 😁

@@ubuntuafrique5802 You never know. My parents arrived in 1950 and 1967 respectively. They married in Port Talbot. Do you remember the annual Somali demonstrations in London in the 80s? Good times!

@@ubuntuafrique5802 Salaam by the way.

@@africareigns Salam sis. That was meant to say “know each other” but I guess you gathered that. I use to visit the Udugle family in Sheffield sometimes in the 80’s and 90’s.

@jakiiz jambeze you have to change habo old people are the worst age like 50+ they are the one destroying our country.So the youth have to take the power off from mental people's!

Oo maxey isku nacayaan wll ma qabiiil dartii mise wx kale

Oo maxey isku nacayaan ma qabiiil dartii mise wx kale

Haaah

Its always those Habar Steven's. They are full of hate.

Beautifully said

True that is confusing

She can sing u cnt stop it

I think thats kinda the point. They are trying to show the current state and reality of a young british somali and the things they endure.

Ghurabaa TV People have complex identities and they can co-exist. Forcing people to accept cultures, values and identities are injurious to their long term psychological well-being.

Isn’t that how she lives her life tho? We sin and then do a good deed after. You must always follow your sins with good deeds to erase your bad deeds

Unknown Unknown u shallow females say that about any1 with good skin, its called GENETICS in case u didn’t know

Sofia X not me 😭

Allahuma Barik ha xasiidin wiilka

It's Somali.

Oompa Loompa where I live the guys and girls are equal, if not the guys are worse because they start being bad young.

@Oompa Loompa yeah but it's not Somali girls selling drugs walking around like Jamaicans or locked up in UK prisons so think again

which one of your parents is Somali? and yes Somali people have receiving genes, meaning weak genes.

So you are half black and half white?

@@spiceguy2408, yeah but I'm not seen that way generally because I came out on the lighter side and my hair is soft as a lot of Somali people have soft curls not afros so yeah.

@@elijahmohamed3123 yeah it's my mum who is Somali. and I get that most Somali people take you by where your father is from but it's just as important to get rid of people thinking that just as it is important to put tribes aside.

@@coralline9767 Ah cool. Also do you visit family in Sweden and Somalia too? How do they feel about your mixed background
