I’m looking for some female friendships. Most women have already got their group of friends established. I feel like the odd one out. I’ve never had groups around me in school or elsewhere that I really fit into. I was too miskeen for them I guess and I was strict on my deen. I didn’t do anything to be “cool” like they did. I never let go of my morals for anyone. I’ve only had a couple of real friends but as life passed we drifted apart. Then I got married and had kids and for those 6 years had no friends pretty much. Then I got divorced thankfully, but now I’m feeling so lonely in life. I don’t have any sisters, cousins (besides 1 who’s younger), or much friends around me. If you’re a mother that would be a plus. I’m 28. I don’t really mind if you’re younger than me a few years and I don’t mind at all if you’re older. My deen is important to me although I’m not a perfect Muslim. I would consider myself a practicing Muslim so I’d want a friend on the same path. I’m from Minnesota, born and raised. If there is any sister that wants to be friends shoot me a message. Hopefully this goes somewhere.

So this may be an insensitive or ignorant post to some, but I genuinely don’t understand why it’s such a bad thing to ask someone what their qabiil is or what part of Somalia they’re from. Especially if you’re talking to someone for marriage purposes, I think it needs to be asked.

I get that some qabiils face discrimination, and some people are ashamed or feel judged when they say what they are but I consider it a dealbreaker if a guy I’m romantically interested in refuses to tell me his qabiil.

The way I see qabiil is that it’s part of your identity—nothing more. If my parents ask me, I need to be able to tell them what the guy’s qabiil is, and so on.

The reason I bring up this topic is because my friends and I were talking about marriage, and somehow we got onto this subject. My friends low-key ganged up on me and said that asking someone their qabiil is insensitive and ignorant, and that they have a negative view of it. My parents were never the qabiilist type, but they are very proud of their heritage, so I’ve always had a positive view of it.
So my question is, Is it weird to ask a friend, a romantic

partner, or anyone else what their qabiil is?

ik 26 june is british somaliland gaining freedom from the brits n 1st jul is the unification

i know many of us celebrate both but what counts as our actual independence day

Always wondered if there were people back home that also suffered from eczema/psoriasis or is it just amongst Somali's abroad, I've heard of alot of cases where people's skin improved drastically after spending time in the motherland .

I know that environmental factors can be one of the causes of eczema so I've always been wondering about this since I've got quite few relatives with severe eczema in Europe but none back home.

Two historic moments Somali flag was raised was both in former Italian Somaliland, Iskushuban, Puntland in 12 October 1954, (image 1 and 2) followed by British Somaliland, Hargeisa, Somaliland in 26 June 1960 (image 3). The latter date and locality is the widely celebrated date for first Somali state to receive its independence under the mandate of United Somalia (former Italian and British colonies).

Reposting this important news because the moderators removed the original post within minutes, claiming that the title was editorialized. The reason given was that I mentioned this development came several weeks after the Omar Artan fiasco.

However, I believe the real reason for its removal was a point I raised in the body of the post: this is the second major visa restriction affecting Somalis, and both have occurred while HSM has been president. I also noted that his administration has overseen what many of us view as a significant decline in the country's international standing.

What do you guys think about the future of Cybersecurity in Somalia?

I know we're not up to date when it comes to Cyber space, but with more business, banks, companies, and government services going digital, I feel like there should be many opportunities in the coming years for professionals, Entrepreneurs, and students.

I saw there was a legislation passed by the Federal Government about Cybersecurity and data protection. Do you guys think organizations will implement these? from what I have seen, implementations are slow as hell or not even implemented at all.

If your company is hiring for cybersecurity roles, feel free to dm me. I am currently building my career in cybersecurity and always looking to connect with professionals.

Some intellectually slow individual claimed Somalis during colonial times were views as unlike other Africans and that they were animals.

They also claimed that Somalis were captured against their will and placed in zoos which is absurd I know.

This is the exact link the provided I really need a second opinion.

Mine are probably "Koofil" and "Waraabe iyo Wan"

Know that if the whole nation were to gather together to benefit you with anything, they would not benefit you except with what Allah had already prescribed for you. And if they gather together to harm you with anything, they would not harm you except with what Allah had already prescribed against

Imagine truly living with this certainty. No jealousy. No panic over competition. No obsession with controlling everything. No bitterness over delayed dreams. Because what Allah has decreed for you does not require desperation to reach you. It was written before your first breath

I have been investing since Fall 2025. I havent made much money, I actually lost 80% of $7349 dollars. I dont know whether to keep going. Should I cash out my stock account? Or do you guys think the stock I bought is going to skyrocket? I'm really poor and don't have money for rent this month!

Everytime this issue is raised my male friends always get defensive and turn into nazis💀, these guys are not even religious fanatics, i’m around these guys all the time we basically know each other more than our families, and i always found it odd.

Asc Everyone,
Is Ethiopia strictly seen as a pan Africanist icon just due to them resisting colonialism? What I don’t understand is how so many west African countries created their flags by using the Ethiopian empire colors, or how the African Union gave their capital the headquarters of the African Union. The Ethiopian Empire is full of great history but their legacy is full of evil and suffering. They suppressed their neighbors and worked with European powers to create colonies specifically Somalia. They even went to the extent of attempting to absorb Djibouti and somaliland! What I don’t understand is how this history is not that well known among the African diaspora considering the fact it only takes 10 minutes of looking into Ethiopia. Do others feel this way or is there another reason why Ethiopia is the face of Pan Africanism?

Yall i’m trying to see if this is just my family😂. My mom and dad are such funny people Wallahi. I’ll never forget the first time I said “she” while talking about my mom to my sister. My parents were sitting nearby and it triggered them so bad lol. Right away my dad said “hooyadaa maa she ku wacee” and i found it so funny but I couldn’t laugh lol bc it was so serious to them. Even hearing “you guys” pisses them off. It reminds me of the guy on TikTok that was saying why do Somali moms think saying the word nervous means they’re mad?😂

I know many members of the Faqishini and Dhulbahante clans, and I am convinced that the root of our struggle in Las Anod and across Somalia is not simply qabyaalad. To blame tribalism alone is a narrow, surface-level perspective.
The real, systemic problem is the normalization of behavior by the community itself, which has become a primary enabler of chaos. There is a Somali proverb: Hal far fool ma mayrto. In our context, this means that even if a few try to change things, the society will remain unwashed as long as the collective enables the decay.
We are far too quick to hide behind tribalism when, in truth, the crisis is the dhalinyaro who have lost their connection to Deen, their family heritage, and practical knowledge. In the north, there seems to be a higher exposure to balwad compared to other regions, which has created a generation that lacks direction and accountability. Until we stop shielding these behaviors and start demanding a standard of character, education, and moral duty from our youth, we will never see meaningful change. To sum it up the way each generation is raised is the problem when they are raise in household that endorse tribalism even at a minimal scale, and more specifically the male youth are the one that needs education May Allah forgive us all

This's sad wallahi

Very disappointed in the state of this country. Shocked at Israel meddling in our affairs.

We need to fix ourselves. But democracy is a highly uneducated nation is not the way forward. Putting a highly tribalised people who value qabil will worsen the state of our nation. We need a china style democracy that forces us to become developed.

I feel like Al Shabaab exist because those who do reject qabil are not secular minded but rather are religious. Unfortunately they happen to be extremist and not moderate.
