I am not sure that most Somalis are giving serious thought to the threats of continued survival and existence of Somalia as a nation-state that could maintain its territorial entegrity and sovereignty within its geographical limits and location in the Horn of Africa. I suspect that we don’t see the dangers our societal divisions entail. Our weakness doesn’t lie not only in traditional clan rivalry, but now in politicized tribalism and politicized faith.

Unchecked, this would eventually lead to disentegration of Somalia as we know it and therefore invitation for foreign occupation of the land.
