I am Somali, and I would personally like to apologize to the Bantu people for what my ancestors did to them, Somali people have a disease in their heart and it has seen the destruction of our entire nation. I just learned about Bantu culture this moment and I'm 20 years old :( I would love to meet some Bantu people and learn more about your culture Insha Allah.

Peace!

@SomaliDuriyaad

School are free on the book but that does not mean everybody follows the law, no matter whether Somalia is Socialist country or something the Somali bantu were denied for education and any public office. you are saying I never heard of them and yet you are trying to justify the way they were treated. I was raised in Kenya and my parents did whatever they can to get me education and if they had the same opportunity I am sure they would not choice education over farming.

i'll tell you WHY, because by doing so, they are denying this new generation of their history, or background, they'l be like African Americans and will end up leanring their "fake history" which was written by a WHITE man.. WAKE UP SOMALIA!

[we315tisini]

How come the African Americans here, came in the US as slaves, but no one wants to ship them in massive numbers to another continent? even if Bantu's came there as slaves, which i still doubt, bc Bantu ppl migrated all over Africa, they did not have a slave system withing themselves, BUT even if they came as slaves, why can't they unite, WHY should they be shipped by the US in massive numbers, and be taken away from Somalia..

@BahreNeGash its simple thinking, HOW on earth does a poor lilttle "child soldier" who doesn't have food or shelter get and AK forty something gun! does it drop from heaven? by the way the gun was manufactured in the US and two days ago, the US brought "AID" in the regions b/c the US wants to "HELP" all the US wants to do here is install HATRED between Africans..

[we315tisini]

@BahreNeGash AMEN to that! WHEN has the US cared for ANY other country for pure good, name it please.. the US wants war in Africa bc it benefits frm it, all thru history the US has wanted to strengthen its own country and break others,.. look what they did to the USSR, they killed Congo's Patice Lumumba, they separated Congo, and now they are in favor of separating Sudan! SHAME ON THEM!

[we315tisini]

@AllGedo YES indeed, i'm frm East Africa and i personally think that the US is bringing this massive number of somalians to brainwash them and just bring a new workforce in the us.. i'm sorry to say, but whats the difference btn this and bringing massive # of slaves.. ask yourself WHY should the US really care for Somalians without any of their interests..

@osub That big lie bro,somalia are destroy by somalian who still kill eachother just like they are not Muslims. i think they care much more about traditions/Gods more than Allah and his prophet(s.a.w) Islam is one dont kill your felow brother or sister becouse of diffrent stupid tribles thing.

[ommy7778]

@kira15able @kira15able Dont be so ignorant that much Bro,inside one national can be over 100 cultures,may be you are not Somalian becouse until now you can see the main big problem inside somalia is different tribles, and different tribles means different cultures.

As muslim i feel so shame to see the country with majority are muslim people are kill eachother,they forget Islam is one nation one brotherhood No colour or tribes,Let us fear Allah/God
