Poeticonscious Politic Views;

First of all, I hope everyone who’s reading this blog is in good health, and blessed in every angle. Secondly, I have received couple of emails from several readers, who were wondering about my political views in Somalia (East Africa) and what I think should happen or happened in Somalia.

What do you think about the country?

What I want my readers to know is that, I’m hoping the best for my country and most of what I write in this blog is definitely motivated by what has happened, and the struggle my people have gone through in the past. Yes, people have died, people have bled, people have lost, and people have suffered from what happened in the war, but I don’t think we should dwell in the past, but learn from our mistakes and move on to the future. Its unbelievable how many people are still speaking dreadfully about other people’s tribe, having the knowledge what happened in the past was due to the same predicament they speak in till this day on. We were given tribes, not to divide each other, but to identify one another, which is the equation that most Somali’s have hard time solving.

What do you think about the recent war?

It was very excruciating, and terrifying. When we thought things were getting better, things essentially got worse. It was very daunting to see two political groups battling with each other, without looking at the tussle of the innocent civilians that were trapped in the chaos. You had the Islamic Union Court, whom were fighting under the name of God vs. the Government who were fighting under the name of _____ I don’t know, perhaps the country, and in between the heat were the innocent civilians who were stuck in the middle, both groups were being egoistic and too greedy to look what was best for the people who have suffered +16 years, but rather too voracious to have “power”.

I know I couldn’t answer all the questions, but I promise (insha Allah) to get back with some more answers. Keep making my inbox full, I truly enjoy it.
