Assuming the boy’s religion just because of his skin color and insulting a young Muslimah who Insha Allah has her whole future ahead to learn, grow, pray, and repent says a lot about your character. Repent!
Imagine being a uni graduate, and a law-abiding citizen, yet struggling to find a reasonable job. Or being a local person with a complaint, not able to get it through. Meanwhile, seeing these divisive SM influencers welcomed at Villa Somalia and staying at a 5-star hotel.

قد لاتعرف ان المنظومة المالية الصومالية ترجع الينمو مائة عام. والتعاون الصومالي المصري في المجال المالي بالذات يرجه الي سبعين عامًا. البنك الزراعي المصري فتح اول فرع افريقي له في الصومال منذ مايقارب الخمسون عاما. حينها لم تكن لدول عربية "أخرى" بنوك.!
This man single-handedly saved the nation from a civil war following 5 yrs of madness and autocracy.
He was threatened, tried to be bribed and had his family attacked by CBBs.
Yet he ignored all that and held elections preventing the country from sliding into civil strife.

I just read Mary Harper's latest negative article on the Somali beauty pageant which was very Harper-like as expected. I'm writing an article to highlight her neo-orientalist mindset. Need more examples of her unfair portrayal of Somalis. Plz comment, or DM examples.
Thanks!
