"Charity begins at home." This proverb is extremely wise and could help solve our clan problem.

If you see a family member or a friend behave in a way thats tribalistic don't forget to educate them on the dangers of tribalism. It really is the small micro-efforts that we put in that will bring about change for Somalis. I am not ashamed to admit that I've been tolerant and complacent when family members were touting clan politics around me. From now on I promise to call them out and educate them that this mentality is wrong and will ultimately bite our ass in the end. Change will happen when we start holding family members accountable. My hoyo is really good mom but very clannist and I will do my best to help her see the error of her ways. Its these small changes that will add up and cause a culture-wide shift of ideology amongst Somalis.

No need to play the blame game. Just do your best to educate and pass on the good message.
