We Need A Somali Revolution!

[Jugjugwacwac]

It's clear that Somalia and the Somali people, all over the world, have hit rock bottom. Usually when a situation becomes so bad and people realize they have nothing to lose they become emboldened and decide to act. When will Somalis reach this breaking point? I think we already have, and that the conditions are ripe for a dramatic shift in Somali affairs, but there's only one thing missing; a visionary leader. The masses of any society are utterly confused, easily led and easily fooled and cannot be relied upon to effect any meaningful change. They need a guide, a beacon, a pillar of hope, a man (and yes, I said man) who embodies the higher ideals that inspire and animate the human soul and imagination. Change has to be top-down and is the moral responsibility of the elite. We don't need to focus on ridding the common Somali of clannism, because frankly the masses don't matter. We just need enough patriotic Somalis elites who have subdued their clannish predilictions and are willing to die for their counttry and people. And when I say die, I mean to literally die.

The leader will emerge from this group of elites, and the rest will serve to refine and implement his vision for the nation. If today out of nowhere a Somali emerged with the erudition, moral integrity and testicular fortitude of Malcolm X, wallahi I believe amisom, al-shabaab and the mooryaans in villa Somalia would all be sent packing within a few weeks after the people rise up having been inspired by their leader, ushering in a new era of true Soomaalinimo and strong governance. This may sound idealistic, especially for a cynic like myself, but i'm convinced that our problem isnt clannism but instead a crisis of leadership. Will the Somali Malcolm please stand up? We're desperate out here.

[SolidCamel]

I 100% agree. We need a Somali Malcolm.

Gimme like 10 years

[zumaale]

Siyad Barre Mach 2. Long live the jugjugwacwac kacaan.

[Bandit]

Hopefully is me im the black Hitler I will be a leader who can walk the walk also kill anyone who stands in my way do some assassination on the side and of course I will be fair person

[Jugjugwacwac]

Ok, Solidcamel and warrior...but qabyaaladda ma necebtihiin oo dadku ma idiin simanyahay, geesiyiin ma tihiin aan nixin, cilmi ma leedihiin ama lahaan doontaan aad waddanka ku hoggaamisaan, aftahannimo ma leedihiin dadka lagu soo jiito, ceebta iyo fawaaxishka ma ka fogtihiin? Just some of the criteria the leader will need.

[ChiefKimbo]

Op wants us to be communist

[Typhoon]

we had our revolution on 21 October 1969
We are going through our period of reign of terror and we are waiting for the glorious Marehan Napoleon
I have one guy in mind and that is Abdulkadir Sheikh Dini Empereur des marehan, Roi d'somali, protecteurs de nayion somali, Premier Consul de la IGAD

[Bandit]

Saxiib fear is the only thing somalis respect their not known for using their brain. Some one like me might have good intentions but their is also some corrupt people who wants the opposite and will try anything to make me fail those people you assassinate when your coming up and about Somalia some one needs to use something other than clans to blame what happened to somalia on outside forces preferably ethiopia or us as the enemy and who cost us the suffering and use that as a platform to climb the ladder
edit: also eliminate this useless thing called listening to elders just because some one is old doesn't mean his wise am smarter then all the elders in somalia

We're in this predicament because our elites are like you, slaves to their parochial clan interests. They lack an ability to step away from their own biases and take an objective stance. This metacognitive handicap is endemic among the Somali intellectual. Zero-sum clan politics is akin to going to a knife fight and repeatedly stabbing yourself instead of your adversary. It's a bizarre and masochistic method of sure defeat and humiliation at the hands of your true enemies.

Alshabaab is the only group of somalis who are capable to unite all somali muslims under one command.

Ninyahow masaajidka ciyaarta ka daa.

[theyuusuf143]

I am living in reality sxb and I know that alshabab is the only somali group that can unite all somalis today not because they are liked but they are feared by all of us.

[Based]

100 men like Jug and we'd solve the Somali problem.

100 men who climb to power through qabiil only to demolish it.

100 men who act as clan leaders only to revitalize their respective regions and lay the groundwork for a more equitable society.

100 men who promise to lead their clan to victory only to lead them to the ultimate victory of belonging to a hegemon.

Let us make this a reality, comrades. Let us enlighten our desperately ignorant people, uplift them, and show them the true potential of the Somali.

I have always said the Greater Somali Republic is inevitable; let us make the inevitable sooner rather than later.

Long live the Second Revolution

History has shown to be true, AS rule stopped clan wars in the dirty south. Does not make them right but order is better than anarchy.

[Jugjugwacwac]

Based waxaad tahay raggeedi. Zumaale, the type of revolution im talking about is more ambitious than merely stopping clan wars. Like Based said, we're looking to become a hegemon in East Africa.
