Salaam Qansa.
I agree with everyone who said that it wouldnt make an ounce of difference considering we all have the blood of many tribe's within us, but because tribe is from only the father's side, we see ourselves as his tribe. This is tradition and to change that would be too confusing. Also, the idea of the government deciding who we marry makes me feel very uneasy.
We make so many excuses for why Somalia is in chaos, I would say that it is due to shaqo la'aan caused by povery. Somalia needs more education, jobs, hospitals, police force etc....poverty is sometimes overlooked as the fuel for all this ignorance. It also wouldnt hurt to have revolutionary leaders who denounce tribalism rather than these archaic gents with their old views and hatred.
