My personal believe about human behavior is one of disgust. One part is lazy to do its homework, and the other uses those people to ride them as mules. As far back as a history of us humans attested to that fact regardless of technological achievements, scientific discoveries, or “participation of people in their government affairs.” It became clear to me and even clearer ever since Somalia’s civil war started which precipitated the overthrow of Siad Bare the last leader of unified Somalia. I have lived in Somalia almost two years to know the thinking of Somalian’s in terms of their strong tribal relationship with each other. Almost the whole war started on the bases of tribal disapproval of one clan over another clan and or one sub-clan against another sub-clan which dragged the whole country into abyss.
For those people who are not familiar with Somalia, I have some astonishing similarities but almost no differences what so ever in the fabric of Somalian’s (exceptions are Bantu and light skin people live in Marka). They all look alike (feature, skin tone, figure) and speaks Somalian language albeit with differences in dialect which exist in any country that is separated by distance, and they are all Muslims. No viable political groups exist at the onset of the civil war; however, it is not clear to me now what shape or form groups are operating under. One thing I am sure of is that Somalia is controlled by war lords with narrow agenda and any political group bear names that sound real political party based on ideology is a sham in Somalia. All parties are established based on the narrow clan and sub-clan interpretations.
I have started with Somalia of course because I know the people a little bit. I just have no desire to know their sickening tribal relationship more than I have already know. Somalian’s never acknowledge people as individuals, but rather by the kabila or tribal affiliations. I was shocked by repeated question of what my kabila is rather than why I am in Somalia or what interests me as a person. I grew to dislike the way people function in that country including but not limited to the kabila, the open bribery, the oppression of the Bantu people (they are being treated like slaves), and total laziness.
Somalian’s are the most compassionate people; they don’t have to know you at all to give you of what you need if they could, for most part they are unlike Ethiopia, in which the population is most reserved, shy but stingy. Ethiopians are careful not to offend people yet that is also taken by their successive government for a free ride. Ethiopians were under Derg bloody government without seeing much resistance except ethnic Tigraians. Somalian’s wouldn’t have fallen for the type of blood thirsty Derg without a fight, for that, I admire them.
So now I came full circle to human behavior! Why are we not balancing things out? Simply entrenched customs, traditions, hearsay, ignorance and hatred! Somalian’s could have ask themselves that tribes are simply identity of a sort rather than a weapon for attacking others that don’t belong, just like Ethiopians were who served Derg to live by persecuting others. The Rwanda genocide, the treatment of Southern Sudanese by the northerners, the Darfur civil war, and religious hatred in Nigeria strengthen my belief we humans are up to no good! It has nothing to do with education or wealth (although education helps to get the edge off) as I have seen what American’s are doing around the world; it has everything to do with our evil intention which is imprinted in our DNA! We are sadistic creatures, I believe even more so than animals who kill to survive. We are not killing to survive or to benefit from it, we are simply doing it for the pleasure of it!
The best example of despicability and devilish behavior of humans are being seen in around the world. Not only Chechen capital destroyed by the Russians never to be rebuilt, but also taken a life of a third of population in Chechnya with brutality not even the American murderous couldn’t matched it in Iraq. America and Russians with weapons that destroy the world many times ever roam around murdering innocent people day after day in the name of fighting the enemy they themselves created. It is unfortunate people are getting murdered, raped, tortured, burned alive, humiliated and colonized simply because they couldn’t defend themselves effectively. The bravery of Iraqi resistance must have heartening the brutalized people around the world who rejoice even the news of rampage murder by Americans as it shows that Americans can’t stamp out the last vestige of human dignity.
I have no reason to believe the Iraqi victory over the rapist American’s be a triumph by itself, after the victory, human evil will kick in and the killing of Iraqi by Iraqi will begin with Ernest. The Afghans defeated and made the soviet to collapse (a very good thing) and started a civil war in the name of God! In the name of God all fought each other destroy and plunder their country; made their fortune in poppy fields and finally the Taliban installed by Pakistan only to see the brutality un leashed through the so called Sharia even justifying the destroying of television sets through out the country! Human evil never will be stopped as long as extreme views are present, as long as we see each other superior or inferior than others, as long as we justify brutalizing others because of religious affiliations, color of skin, or tribal affiliation. The world always be a bad place to live as long as we hate, and remain to be jingoists, extreme nationalists, support rapes of other countries or hide behind democracy blanket. It is human behavior the downfall of “civilization” that takes with it may be all living and non living things together.
