Drama in Dirree Dhawaa

I don't like it. People are already having a hard time with the cost of living and country-wide conflict. Adding another dimension of hardship should be avoided.

But it seems like an inevitable thing. Somalis really do believe that Dirree Dhawaa (they call it something else) is a Somali city like Hargeisa and Mogadishu. And it's just so far from the truth. Historically and practically. But that's the image in their mind.

The young man who made the inflammatory remarks about Oromos in response to the PM, is a native of the city. His neighbourhood magaalaa cabxuu has an Oromo name (tho its a similar word with somali) and is largely Oromo. He grew up and went to school with Oromo kids and speaks afaan Oromo. His family has never been in that city, except that they lived with oromos. But he believes Oromos are squatters in the city.

You cant change that by having a talk with him or throwing him in jail. We think we're so much more advanced than our ancestors but really we're still the same tribal creatures fighting for tribal territory and supremacy.
