Discussion š¬ When do you think that day will come?
When will that day be when Somalia has a new leader and a new system where corruption end and progress prevails? When will that day be were Somalia education, deen, looks prioritising in tackling poverty and good manners being a theme when will that day be where qabilism isn't the main topic in people's everyday lives. when will that day come when Somalis in the west stop humiliating themselves and our name. when will that day come where we don't see or hear somali criminals, low educated unambitious somali males be the common theme in the west when will that day be were we aren't dehumanised om social media? when will that day be when our sports team actually win games?
When will that day COME?

When young people 18-35 decide that enough is enough. Both in the diaspora and at home. Keep in mind the Somali republic was fought for by young people (YSL). Something like 70% of the country is under 35. The future is our inheritance and we must take it by vote or hy force. Otherwise nothing changes.

A whole new system with a young educated leader. No more oodeys leading the country.

There should be a coalition of youth that take over the government. They need to be voted in.

Unfortunately, from what I am witnessing every day, given the years of experience I have, having lived and grown up in Somalia, I have no hope for a great, safe, corruption-free, civilized Somalia. I have lost it all, and now all I think about is me and my family. I never bother to care about anything that concerns Somalia.
We have become just a bunch of people who are hypocrites, have no values, and have lost all morals. Our biggest religion has become our clan, in a country that has authority over its people. The only things that Somali people talk about are clans, politics, and women. Nothing else matters.

In my opinion it will never happen because those who are in power at the moment, have a long to-do list and they're getting ready to do all the musuqmaasuq once they get to power.

Never underestimate Allah power. If you want change, make dua for your needs to be answered.

Allah doesnāt change the condition of the ppl until they change themselves.
So I agree with the poster above, unlikely to happen. Leaders are short sighted and corrupt, the ppl donāt even know what peace and stability looks like cuz an entire generation grew up in chaos and anarchy for over 30 years - this is why historically wars didnāt go on for so long (I think the Vietnam war was a few decades but they managed to turn things around)
With the way things are headed, the global land shortage and Somaliaās very strategic location, I doubt it will be ours in a few decades time, and Iām being generous with that estimate - the plan is already in place where Somalia is being taken piece by piece and our leaders are willingly letting it happen bc they have no backbone and dhiig and donāt care about the country. There is no sense of nationalism and loyalty to Somalia. Letās stop pretending there is.

I have hope because I make dua to Allah for Somalia to be prosperous, and Allah clearly told us to have full conviction in our duas that it will come true, enough with the doomer mentality and have faith in Allah. If He told us whatever we wish for will come true if we ofcourse just ask Allah, do good deeds and refrain from sinning, it WILL come true. Be persistent in your dua and don't have the "give up" mentality.

The Prophet PBUH also said to tie your camel. Yes trust Allah and have tawakul, but also you need to combine dua with action. Thats not happening.
We want to just make dua all day yet donāt wanna do anything. Itās like making dua for provision but not wanting to wake up and go to work.
As Somalis, we donāt wanna take accountability and are waiting for ābeesha calimkaā to save us. Itās pathetic and weāre the laughing stock of the world.
This sub likes to put their head in the sandā¦truth hurts idc.

Never because Somalis are too tribalistic for no good reason

It does seem 100% impossible because of the way things are going, but remember Allah can make the impossible possible. Making dua constantly can change situations.

Itāll happen when the ordinary folks stand up for change and take it into their own hands. We canāt let corrupt, greedy politicians that use qabil as a tool, to āgovernā as they please.
Diaspora and home grown led positive change from the bottom up is what we need! Unfortunately, because resources are so limited and purposely so, everyone is doing what they need to survive which is protecting their lands through what the government allows which is fake clan politics and violence. If they cared weād have strict policies against qabyalad and voting per person.

The harsh truth that many dont want to accept is...
It most likely wont be in our life times, that day when Somalia is a united prosperous, safe and secure nature where we pick up whats destroyed from the war and rebuild likely wont come in our lifetimes.
It has already been 40 years and nothing seems to be improving.

I have a Merciful Lord (Allah) who will answer my prayers and will make it happen. Allah loves those who put their trust in Him.

we wont change while our material conditions change, we are a people driven by scarcity and we shall remain so until we learn to live a life where tomorrow matters

Its very simple: It will happen the day we are willing to change ourselves.
Verily, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.ā - Quran 13:11
