Somalia and the Domesticated Members of Society

I recently encountered a word which completely captures the nature of certain so-called Somali politicians of modern times. Much credit must go to those amongst us who pay attention to these matters. Apart from the shameless former clan warlords—who currently masquerade as ministers, or imaginary civil servants, within the repulsive TFG of Somalia—there is a distinct group of public figures who, rather uniquely as individuals, manage to personify the lack of self-esteem so common amongst the nominally educated classes of modern day Somalia.

The word, which best describes these people, is domesticated. There is something amusing about the mannerisms, and the complete lack of style, of these genuinely domesticated individuals. No sane person can deny the fact that the current—and perhaps phantom—foreign affairs minister, Mr. Maxamed A. Omaar, of the monstrous TFG of Somalia cuts a pathetic figure when he attempts to justify—by means of Western legal rationalism—the brutal military occupation, by AMISOM soldiers, of certain parts of Mogadishu: Somalia’s biggest, and most important city.

In the eyes of such people, and there are quite a few amongst the monstrous and perfidious TFG entity, the ability to string a few—well rehearsed—phrases in the English language, and the ability to wear a three piece suit, is apparently enough qualification for the shameful role of betraying the entire Somali nation in the service of certain Western masters. These domesticated Somali politicians, in many ways, remind me of the pliant and submissive ‘House-slaves’ who had once served their white masters during the repulsive bygone era of Slavery in the Americas.

It is particularly surprising to learn that such men are permitted to play a divisive role inside the Somali national territory at this moment in time. Indeed, when one reflects upon the long history of the Somali nation, it is particularly regrettable that such a state of affairs has come to pass. The various domesticated politicians, who currently serve in the so-called cabinet of the disgraceful imposter Shariif Axmed—himself a creation of Western interests—seem to think, quite mistakenly, that they shall gain concrete benefits from this loyal service to their Western masters.

Men like the truly awful Cumar Cabdirashiid Cali Sharmaarke—a man who seems to believe the fiction that he is the Prime Minister of a legitimate Somali government—having learned how to wear a suit and tie correctly in North America, are prepared to do anything in order to satisfy their Western masters. This man, in particular, has been in the service of certain Western interests—in the shape of the United Nations—for much of his working life. It seems to me that these domesticated Somali politicians—these diabolical members of society—are hell bent upon selling both the national territory and the national heritage of the Somalia for the benefit of their Western masters.

In many ways, the phenomenon of the domesticated Somali politician is the greatest danger which currently confronts the Somali nation at this moment in time. Men like the recently elected leader of the Puntland State of Somalia, Dr. Cabdiraxmaan ‘Faroole’, seem to never learn from the mistakes of the past. It appears that the current leadership of the Puntland State of Somalia are busily preparing for the opening of a new Ethiopian interest office in the State capital city of Garowe. This is quite amazing when one reflects upon the devastation caused by the Ethiopian army inside the Somali national territory during the recent past. It would appear that the domesticated members of Somali society, the negligent and morally bankrupt politicians of modern times, care more about serving the interests of their Western masters than standing in solidarity with their Somali brethren. Certain Somali politicians are more concerned about visiting Washington D.C. or New York City—where their domestication is both encouraged and appreciated—than the act of successfully ending the suffering of their compatriots in Southern Somalia.
