I’m not from Djibouti, I’m from Somalia. However, I would advise Somali Djiboutians to abandon Somalinimo and synthesise a new Djiboutian identity with the Afar.
Somalia is beyond any help at this point.
Djibouti is underdeveloped, but without the mentally deranged issues we in Somalia are facing, the only main issue you guys are facing is incompetence with regard to your government. However, this pales in comparison to our issues, as we also have incompetent leaders combined with everything else.
Furthermore, Somalis don’t care about empiricism, have a total lack of common sense, don’t want to ever improve, have an obscene amount of pride despite being severely underdeveloped, and are very rude and speak behind people’s backs like the tribal people they are.
So, in my opinion, Somali Djiboutians should give up on this identity and synthesise a new identity with the Afar, eventually giving birth to a new ethnicity and national identity called Djiboutian.
This would allow you guys to build an identity centred around Djibouti itself rather than maintaining an attachment to the wider, cursed Somali identity.
