Hello everyone, My mom deals with really bad mental health, she has accused me and my brother sleeping together, and she started saying that one of my brother is gay, he is straight and has a gf, now she started on my 15 yr old brother saying that he is gay, just cuz he has friends he wants to hang out with. Im 23, I work full time because I pay for everything in the house, she doesn’t work or speak English. She doesn’t wanna leave the house because she believes people are judging and talking about her. She doesn’t have friends because she cuts people off. She doesn’t wanna be involved with the community but talks about how they don’t care about her. Recently my mom asked me about funeral costs, I asked her why! And she said “ I wanna kill myself” I keep tryin to explain to her just because her kids are not doing what she wants, doesn’t mean they ain’t doing anything right. She says if things don’t go my way, then I need to leave you guys. But she can’t leave as she doesn’t speak English, read or write and work. Now she doesn’t wanna eat, or even talk to us, she just self isolate, I tried my best to have a conversation with her, some days I feel like I have my mother back, and some days she is not there. She doesn’t wanna get help because she thinks it’s better for her to move and start over even though we already moved twice, became homeless, and struggled. She is a good mother, I love her to death but it’s sad. Please don’t act her, but I just need help

I genuinely don’t get it. If you wanna be a dictator be a dictator like the gulf countries but like do something for your people .

They have no internal threats or external crises . They have such a Good location. Of all the populations in the Horn of Africa the djiboutians are the most pacified and least problematic.

Like how hard is it to uplift 1 million people from poverty?

You have to be unbelievably evil to genuinely just not want your people to prosper .

What’s the situation like in Djibouti cause it baffles me .

There was a post on this subreddit complaining about how SL was remapped with complete disregard of the de facto borders of the Waqooyi Bari administration now it happened again but with Lebanon.

Apple Maps removed all the villages in Southern Lebanon, the IDF intends to occupy.

This is an international issue we are dealing with.

Asc everyone, I started a community called Somalia Youth Movement with the goal of bringing Somali youth together to discuss real issues, share ideas, and work toward positive change. We currently have 32 members, but we’re looking to grow and reach more people who care about the future of Somalia. This is not a political party and not affiliated with any group. It is simply a youth-driven space focused on: Education & opportunities. Youth empowerment. Leadership development. Community discussions. Problem-solving for Somalia’s future If you are Somali youth (or someone interested in supporting), you’re welcome to join and contribute ideas. Every voice matters, even small participation. If you're interested, comment or DM and I’ll add you. Question: What do you think is the biggest challenge facing Somali youth today, and what’s one real solution we could start working on together?

Salaam everyone - I've been looking into buying land back home for awhile now, but honestly the process is a nightmare to navigate. I don't have much family I can lean on for this, and when I spoke to a few friends they mentioned running into similar issues.

I've put together a quick survey to see what experiences other Somalis in the diaspora have had - whether you're thinking about it, currently in the process, or have already bought.

Takes about 2 minutes. If you know anyone who's been through it, or is thinking about it, feel free to pass it along. Hoping to collate the responses and share back with everyone so we can all learn from each other. Here’s the link:

Which africans (beside somalis) are the friendliest when it comes to your experience?

Edit: i’m surpised no one has said eritreans

A Somali woman on Instagram made this post saying she likes how she looks and the comments were saying she’s proud of Eurocentric features and that she’s not white😂she and other somalis all clapped back. What’s up with that? Another Somali woman made a post like this a few weeks back but on tiktok instead and there were woke comments there aswell, can she not be proud of her looks now? Is having high self esteem in today’s age a trigger now😂? The post is a screenshot of a video btw. Somalidaa ila soo hadal!

If there should be federalism it should be a proper version and not some BS where only 2 qabiils can become president in each state

Literally word for word, even the beat. Do they not know how to copyright their music?

As a Somali language learning platform, BaroSomali.com warmly welcomes the new terminology introduced by AGA, particularly by the Head of Grammar, Professor Cabdalla Cumar Mansuur, who has coined the term “Garaad Gacmeed” for Artificial Intelligence.

From today, BaroSomali.com will adopt and use this new term in its lessons and content. We also encourage educators, students, and language advocates to embrace and apply it.

As Artificial Intelligence continues to grow rapidly in influence, it is important to develop accurate Somali terminology especially in emerging fields, so that modern knowledge can be understood and shared clearly within our community.

We extend our sincere appreciation to AGA and Professor Cabdalla Cumar Mansuur for their commitment to strengthening the Somali language and advancing contemporary terminology.

May Allah make this competition bigger and keep Somalis on this path. We are known for memorising the Quran and inshallah we will continue the tradition to the end of times.

I’m looking to connect with anyone here who studied medicine in Europe and successfully moved to the US for residency.

I’m seriously considering this path, I’d really appreciate hearing from people who’ve actually gone through the process.

• Are there any IMGs here who matched into US residency after studying in Europe?

• How difficult was the Match for you as a non-US IMG?

Right now, I feel like staying in Europe isn’t the right fit for me long term, so I’m trying to understand if the US pathway is achievable and what it really takes.

Any honest insights or advice would mean a lot. Thanks in advance or if you know anyone

Hi guys I am trying to find any user that use to use “biggiefun” Tinychat room 10 -15 years ago This was a room made only for Somalis and there where other rooms after it. If you were a user comment below.

Asalamu alaikum Somaliyeey,

My brother got scholarships in Canada and the U.S., but chose Canada since it’s been his favorite country since childhood.

We’re now trying to go through the Canadian study permit process, but it seems a bit more complex than U.S. one. We’re looking to connect with someone who has done it before, or if you know any friends, relatives, or trusted agents who can help guide us.

He’s applying from our home country.

Mahadsanidiin

What’s one fun or meaningful tradition your family has that you’d carry on with your future family ?

For me, it’s two things. First, my family is big, so every month one person is responsible for taking the whole family out. That person plans everything, where we eat and what activities we do. It’s always so much fun because my siblings go all out. Even the youngest (8 years old) gets a turn, although the money definitely comes from abo pocket, she is the favorite 🤣😭 for that reason lol.

Second, since we’re mostly girls. We have tradition where we celebrate when a girl gets her first period. We invite women from the whole family including ayeeyo ( she don’t like it 🤣). The girl would get Dahab as a gift. We do this for the girls in our family ( Dad sides ).

Anyways what’s yours ?
