I swear if Mailman became dictator of Somalia, he would initiate a 'Final Solution' program to cleanse Somalia of the poor Bantus.
I don't want to kill anyone. But I'm just aware of the long-term threat which they pose to the sanctity of the Somali nation and people.
And they're only "poor" and "miskeen" because they're a small percentage of Somalia's population. If they ever reach a substantial percentage of Somalia (like 40%-50%)....they will definitely start to self-assert themselves and cause serious problems
Just read about what the Tamils have done in Sri Lanka. Or what the Albanians have done in Serbia. These types of developments have happened in other countries in the past so I have a right to be concerned. You should read history, learn from it. Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
I love Somalia enough to want to see it preserved for the next 1000 years
Mailman what do you foresee if they increase in number? I'm just curious.
One of three scenarios will happen, if they increase in number:
1. They will assimilate into the Somali population, and will virtually wipe out the Somali genome, features, and ethnicity. We Somalis will start to resemble them and we will have our ethnic identity diluted. This is a very real threat, and this has happened to MANY nations before in the past. I don't want that happening to Somalis. I love our features and identity enough to want to see it preserved. Somalis have very weak, recessive genes. A child can be half-Somali, half-Ajnaabi.....and the child will always resemble their Ajnaabi parent. Each and every time.
2. Or they will separate into their own ethnic enclaves, and increase in proportion to the rest of the population within those enclaves. As they increase in number, they become more self-assertive and might begin the process of seceding from the rest of Somalia. This is what happened in Sri Lanka recently. The Tamils (who are actually immigrants from India) moved to Sri Lanka as farmers and workers about 2 centuries ago. At first, they were very few in number, but they increased in population (as a result of breeding) to the point where they became a substantial percentage of Sri Lanka's population. Then the Tamils became more self-assertive and started fighting with the Sinhalese people. The Sinhalese are the indigenous people of Sri Lanka and they were forced into a bloody civil war with the Tamils, killing thousands of people and destabilizing the country. Again, I don't want to see that scenario playing out in Somalia.
3. Or they could separate into their own ethnic enclave, and then declare independence. This is what happened in Serbia and Kosovo just a few years ago. The Albanians moved into Serbia a few centuries ago, and they were initially very small in number. The Serbs didn't see them as a threat initially, but the Albanians gradually increased in number until they became a majority in
Kosovo Province, which was originally a part of Serbia. There was a civil war over that land back in the 1990's, and now Kosovo has declared itself to be an independent nation, while forcing the ethnic Serbs to flee their own homeland. Again, this scenario could also play out in Somalia and I'd hate to see that happen. Similar scenarios occurred in Madagascar, in Mali, and in other countries.
We need to be cautious and look at the bigger picture here. I don't want to see our people wiped out, and they pose a serious long-term threat. Maybe they're not a problem TODAY. Maybe not in my lifetime. But if we Somalis don't get our act together, wallahi in 200 years you will read about a 2nd Bantu Expansion, and about how the Somalis allowed themselves to be outnumbered and overwhelmed in their own homeland. And that would be a total and utter disaster.
