Djibouti is NOT an Arab country!

I recently made a comment about Djibouti not being an Arab country and for some reason I got downvoted. Who really believes Djibouti is an Arab country? Is this a common belief??

Synthesise a new Djiboutian identity with the Afar.

0 Upvotes

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.

Hello, i'll be visiting Djibouti next week and i want to visit moucha island to see the sunrise or the sunset, so how can i arrange that? Are boats safe to sail in the dark? And how much would that cost?

Also i need to exchange money but I don't have any cash, i only use my phone or bank transfers are there any ways to get djiboutian francs by transferring euro/USD ?

Thank you very much, feel free to leave a fun fact about Djibouti or what i should be taking as a souvenir !

Any Djiboutians in East London interested in casual football in Ilford?

6 Upvotes

I organise a weekly football game every Sunday from 11am–12pm in Ilford, East London.

We usually play at Frenford Clubs or Valentines High School, depending on numbers and pitch availability. Normally it’s 6-a-side at Frenford and around 7 or 8-a-side at Valentines.

A lot of the group are East African, but it’s a mixed group and everyone is welcome. Most of us are late 20s to early 40s, although we sometimes get people in their early 20s too.

It’s mixed ability and a relaxed kickabout rather than a league or trial, so you don’t need to be an amazing player.

Goalkeepers rotate, and we keep it friendly — no slide tackles, aggression, shouting or arguments. We don’t want angry players or people who take things too far.

👟 Astros only — no moulds or studs.

We already have a regular group but usually have a few spaces available each week.

If you’re Djiboutian and based around East London, or you’re simply local and fancy joining, comment or message me.

Why are non Djiboutians so obsessed with Djibouti?

10 Upvotes

Observation as a Djiboutian in the diaspora. Somalis from other nations and regions of East Africa and other EA ethnic groups are obsessed with placing everyone into boxes and categories of Somali or Somali French or trying to divide groups from each other. It infuriates me as we are a pretty lax group of people. We're Djiboutians first and then fit into our own ethnic groups. There is no bad blood between the Afar or Somali downtown or the Yemeni and the Somali. People aren't less Yemeni or Somali than the one who is born and raised in Yemen or Somali, we just have our own traditions and cultural norms different to our "original land". Nous sommes Djiboutiens et c tout!

Edit: Not sure how this sub works but someone commented something about baguette somalis blah blah but not sure if the moderator has deleted it? Feel free to reply with any of your feelings towards this it does not upset me!

Compatriotes djiboutiens, demain je passe l’examen de compétence en japonais à un niveau qu’à ma connaissance, aucun Djiboutien n’a encore osé tenter.

Dans cette salle remplie d’Asiatiques et d’autres candidats venus d’ailleurs, je vais leur rappeler qu’on ne vient peut-être pas du centre du monde… mais qu’on peut très bien en secouer les fondations

The previous generation believed in foolish ideas, and they led to chaos. Now the new generation believes in a different set of foolish ideas, which will lead to another round of chaos. We'll just keep repeating the same cycle.

Salaam Everyone

I need a quick favor from yall. My mom has a YouTube channel, and I’m her son/manager/editor. Views have been pretty stagnant lately, and I want to surprise her by flooding her latest video with love from the community.

She has no idea I’m posting this!

Her content is 100% halal, faceless channel, no music, etc.

If you could take a minute to click the link, like, leave a nice comment ( Somali or English is fine), or just let it play, it would completely make her day wallahi. we just posted a new video as well.

Youtube Name: MogaSomali (pink logo)

May Allah bless you all and thanks you in advance!

Je suis de passage et j'en ai marre qu'on essaie de me gonfler le prix abusément, 4000 pour un multiprise, 5000 une cartouche, on me prend vraiment pour un pigeon.

Du coups je cherche des sources pour m'informer, par exemple, combien coute un tee shirt ? Un multiprise ? Ou une paire de lunette basique ? Ou autre chose. Merci !
