I think this should be on every young guys mind, I have seen so many Somali youth who were born in the west have somali parents and are gaalo, or have completely lost their identity in every aspect but name. These kids in their late teens early 20s are literally living a miserable life, they do not belong anywhere, neither has the wider society accepted them but even the very small Somali community will not be that open to their foreign mentality, so they are literally roaming the west completely lost. They live in a constant state of depression, discrimination, threat, and the girls are taken advantage of by whites who are the overwhelming majority or by other minority community, they are riddled with stds, can't speak a word of somali and I just feel sorry for them walahi, they are not even orphans because they do have somali parents, but they are orphans without an identity that aligns with their community, ethnicity and religion.
Why should we protect the somali identity ? because an identity is crucial for unity, and unity is crucial for a thriving community, the community that will benefit you and your family.
I grew up in a Somali community in the west, it was very small but the benefits I enjoyed and the privileged status I had as a child was unreal, this is what I want for my children as it truly takes a village to raise a child, and this is why I want successful Somalis to procreate and form these sort of communities and replenish them.
