All people are beautiful, but Somalis are naturally gifted with refined nose shapes and slender, elegant collarbones. These are the same features that many others spend a great deal of money on and endure painful, invasive surgeries to obtain. For Somalis, however, these traits come naturally and require no cosmetic procedures whatsoever.

In Somalia, when someone close to you dies, it is customary for family members especially women to wear white during the mourning period and at the ceremonies. This is different from what you see in many other places, where people wear black to show they are grieving. In Somali tradition, white stands for purity and the soul’s journey to the next life, so it is what people wear to honor the person who has passed away. But for Somalis living abroad, things can get complicated. I remember when I was a kid, my mother’s best friend lost her husband. Instead of wearing white like she would have back home, she wore black. I was confused because it did not seem right, so I asked her about it. She told me that because they were living in a diaspora community, wearing white would just confuse the people around her. Her neighbors would not understand why someone who was mourning would be dressed in white clothes. In the place where they lived, black was what people expected to see when someone had died. So, to avoid having to explain herself or having people misunderstand her grief, she decided to wear black instead. For her, wearing black was the easier choice, it let her mourn without having to constantly explain why she was not dressed the way people in her new surroundings thought she should be.

The nature really loves a good surprise: Salma, a Somali woman, and her Norwegian husband just had the sweetest little baby with blonde hair and bright blue eyes! Everyone is amazed, but it makes total sense Salma happens to carry hidden recessive genes for those features (you know, the kind that can stay tucked away for generations). Her husband, being Norwegian, has plenty of those genes too. When both of them passed the right ones to their baby, boom those light traits popped up. It is pretty rare and totally unexpected, but that’s the magic of genetics.

نساء الصومال هنّ، في نظر كثير من الرحالة والكتّاب الأجانب، من أجمل نساء أفريقيا. وقد وصف مدير مشروع فيلق السلام الأمريكي، جورج داوسون، المرأة الصومالية في ستينيات القرن الماضي بأنها تتميز بجمالها الطبيعي وأناقتها اللافتة. وأشار إلى أن فساتينها الزاهية المعروفة باسم Dirac، إلى جانب شالها التقليدي الجارباسار، تضفي عليها حضورًا مميزًا يختلف عن أنماط اللباس السائدة في كثير من الدول الأفريقية آنذاك. كما امتدح شعرها الطويل، ورشاقتها في المشي، وملامحها الهادئة، معتبرًا أن المرأة الصومالية تجمع بين الجمال والأناقة والوقار. جورج داوسون، مدير مشروع فيلق السلام الأمريكي peace corps في الصومال (1963)

I wouldn’t surprise me if Somalis are early humans. Whenever scientists reconstruct the face of an ancient person, it looks remarkably similar to a Somali individual. The reconstructed face of someone from Karma, Nubian Chalcolithic Sudan (2500 BC), looks surprisingly like a modern Somali person. It’s fascinating how this ancient Northeast African’s image feels so familiar, almost like seeing a Somali friend today.

يا شبيه رجل، الصومالية لن تترك الأشقر السويدي الذي دخل الإسلام وتعلم اللغة الصومالية وتزوجها باحترام، عشان تقبل بك، أنت اللي تقول “لاخذ صوماليه” بسخرية.هي تعرف قيمتها، وتعرف الفرق بين من يختارها بكرامة وبين من يراها خياراً احتياطياً.

قصة زواج حليمة الصومالية ب كونغولي: بدأت قصتها بتعارف عبر الإنترنت مواقع التواصل الاجتماعية (سناب شات)مع رجل كونغولي، قدّم نفسه في البداية بصورة الرجل المتدين، وكان يتحدث معها عن الالتزام بالدين والصلاة، بل وظهر لها وكأنه شيخ وناصح ديني.مع مرور الوقت، بدأ بإرسال الهدايا الثمينة والأموال إليها وإلى أهلها، وكانت المبالغ تصل إلى نحو 500 دولار شهريًا. ومع استمرار هذه المعاملة، اكتسب ثقتها وثقة أسرتها، حتى وافقت في النهاية على الزواج منه والسفر إلى بلده الكونغو.لكن بعد وصولها إلى بلده، تغيّر كل شيء وظهرت حقيقة الرجل التي لم تكن تعرفها. اختفت الوعود والهدايا والأموال، وبدأ يطالبها بالخروج إلى العمل لتسديد المصاريف و الهدايا التي كان ينفقها عليها قبل الزواج.كانت تتوقع أن يتحمل زوجها مسؤولية البيت كما اعتادت أن ترى في الزواج الصومالي، لكنها فوجئت به يقول لها إن الحياة الزوجية عنده تقوم على نظام 50/50، وأن عليها أن تعمل وتدفع نصف المصاريف.ولم يتوقف الأمر عند ذلك، بل بدأ يضربها ويستخدم العنف لإجبارها على الخروج للعمل، وأرسلها إلى أعمال شاقة لم تكن مستعدة لها.وفي أحد الأيام، وبعد أن تعرضت للضرب شديدا منه، تمكنت من الهرب والوصول إلى حي يسكنه عدد من التجار و عاملين الصوماليين في الكونغو. وهناك قابلها شاب صومالي، أعطاها مفتاح منزله وترك لها المكان حتى تتمكن من الاختباء والتعافي من آثار الضرب.بعد ذلك، اجتمع بها عدد من الصوماليين وحاولوا مساعدتها، وأخبروها أن وضعها القانوني صعب لأنها في بلد زوجها، وأن القوانين قد لا تكون في صالحها. لذلك طلبت منهم مساعدتها في العودة إلى الصومال، وهو ما قاموا به بالفعل.واليوم، أصبحت هذه الفتاة تحكي قصتها للصوماليات، ليس لتخويفهن من الزواج أو من التعارف، وإنما لتحذرهن من الوقوع في الفخ نفسه: لا تثقي في شخص اجنبي لمجرد أنه يتحدث باسم الدين، ولا تجعلي الهدايا والأموال تغطي على حقيقة شخصيته. تحققي جيدًا من الشخص الاجنبي وعائلته وبلده قبل اتخاذ قرار الزواج والسفر معه إلى بلد آخر.

أشك أصلًا في أن صالح المتحدث ان يكون صومالي، على اغلب المقطع يكون عبارة مجرد تمثيلية أُعدّت مسبقًا لإضحاك الجمهور على حساب صورة الصوماليين. أولًا، الصوماليون لا يعيشون في لبنان بأعداد تُذكر، كما أن لبنان ليس من الوجهات التي يقصدونها عادة. ثانيًا، يبدو أن ما طرحه الكوميدي ليس سوى إسقاط نفسي؛ إذ انه وصف الصوماليين بما هو موجود في المجتمعات العربية الأخرى.والحقيقة أن أغلب من يتحدث بهذه الثقة مثل الكوميدي لم يعش يومًا بين الصوماليين، ولا يعرف ثقافتهم أو طريقة تفكيرهم. فالشاب الصومالي، تاريخيًا، من أقل الشباب اختلاطًا في القارة الإفريقية، رغم أن الصومال كانت لقرون مركزًا للتجارة البحرية يربط بين إفريقيا وآسيا وشبه الجزيرة العربية، وكان الصوماليون يسافرون ويتعاملون مع شعوب وثقافات مختلفة دون أن يتخلوا عن خصوصيتهم الاجتماعية. وحتى اليوم، وبعد عقود من استقرار الجاليات الصومالية في دول إسكندنافيا، لا تزال نسبة كبيرة منهم تفضل الزواج من أبناء وبنات مجتمعها، ليس لعدم وجود خيارات، وإنما لأن ذلك نابع من قناعاتهم وثقافتهم.لذلك، لا تحاولوا تصدير نظريات مثل تحسين النسل وكأنها تنطبق على جميع الشعوب. قد تعكس هذه الأفكار واقع المجتمعات العربية لكنها لا تمثل المجتمع الصومالي. أما محاولة إلصاقها بالصوماليين، فلا تكشف شيئًا عنهم، بقدر ما تكشف عن حجم الإسقاط النفسي وإطلاق الأحكام على مجتمع لا تعرفونه إلا من الخيال أو من مشاهد تمثيلية.

A Somali woman recalls her life under Siad Barre’s rule with a quiet ache in her voice. “He called us the flowers of the nation,” she says. In the 1970s and early 1980s, that name meant something. Schools opened their doors to girls, women drove their motorcycles & cars, taught classes, wore trousers without fear of stones or whispers. Barre’s speeches crackled over the radio, promising equality, and for a moment the promise felt real. She learned to read in a classroom built by the state. She marched in literacy brigades, chalk dust on her sleeves, teaching nomad wives to spell their own names. When the national theater staged plays, she sat in the front row, clapping for heroines who looked like her. The government gave her a job in schools, offices & factories, the pay was small, but the pride was large. “We were petals,” she says, “not yet crushed.” Then came 1991. The regime collapsed, and the men who toppled it carried new banners: clan, gun. The flowers were trampled first. Warlords shut the public schools, hospitals burned the books, told women to cover and stay silent. The same streets where she once walked unveiled now echoed with militia boots. Neighbors who had cheered Barre’s downfall turned on each other and on her. A neighbour looted her house, a childhood friend denounced her for (Western ways). The factories & schools & offices became a barracks, her uniform, a shroud. She fled to her village with her children, crossing roads littered with the bodies of yesterday’s comrades. Today, she says Flowers of the nation turned to weeds of nation. she still flinches at the word equality. The men who came after Barre did not merely erase his name, they salted the earth where his promises had bloomed.

Somalis after 1991 turned into short sighted local guys who can’t connect the dots or think long term. Our politics stop at the next village. We trade and move goods across Africa, yet somehow stay completely detached from African politics as if those problems will never reach us. We forget we have 10 million Somalis in Ethiopia and another 7 million in Kenya. Recently Niger reopened a 20 year old file. They are talking about repatriating the Arab Mahamid community from Diffa region back to their original country Chad. At the same time, Fulani pastoralists are fleeing Nigeria because of insecurity and local conflicts. Huge numbers of herders and their livestock are moving into Cameroon, Chad, Niger, and Central African Republic. Those countries will keep pushing them until they hit Sudan the Sahel countries see Sudan as the closest place to the Arabian Peninsula they supposedly came from. And we all know the Gulf countries will never take them. That is why we are suddenly seeing these videos trying to invent fake connections between them and us Somalis, pushing for resettlement in Somalia. Most Somalis don’t even know these same groups were behind Boko Haram in Nigeria and Niger, and form the bulk of the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan the ones who started the civil war in Sudan. Hemedti himself, the RSF leader, comes from these groups. The war began because he was trying to settle them and ethnically cleanse real Sudanese people. Now that they have lost war in Sudan and are being kicked out of the Sahel, they are looking for new places to regroup. Remember guys that Hemedti and his RSF forces are currently living in Kenya and Ethiopia. Those two countries wouldn’t allow Muslim military groups to settle in their countries for long periods. They will push them towards Somalia. Somalis wake up, we already saw foreign terrorists who were joining ISIS in Puntland ‘s mountains and joining alshabab in southern Somalia. Thus, be careful Somalis don’t fall for their fake friendship and brotherhood talk. That’s exactly how they were settled in Sudan in the 70s.

You know the old saying: “A wounded lion is more dangerous than a healthy one.” After somaliland big defeat in Goojacade, Sool in 2023 and several other losses over the past three years, Somaliland has realized they cannot win a military fight against the unionist forces in Sool (north west Somalia) So now they have switched tactics. They are setting traps and plotting against Somali people both inside Somalia and around the world especially in Mogadishu and other major cities like lasanod. They are working with countries & right wing that are against Somalia to turn international opinion against the Somalis. Inside Somalia, they are doing the same thing. Since their defeat in Sool, Mogadishu has become much safer. Al Shabaab has also lost a lot of its power there because many of its top leaders are from Somaliland. Now, Somalilanders are stirring up trouble in Mogadishu. They are using money to bribe half Isaaq/ Hawiye, Darood, and Dir youth in order words youth from issaq mothers to create violence and fights between peaceful communities like we saw in sanaag and sool. Stories like public harassment of girl in stadium which happened in Mogadishu last week, the perpetrators were paid to do that crime in public which was part of their propaganda against Somalia and to further promote their case in western world as being the good Somalis. All Somalis both inside the country and in the diaspora need to stay alert and watch out for these plots and traps.
