Somalia
Geography
Somalia is a long, narrow country that wraps around the Horn of Africa. It has the longest coast of any African nation, bordering on both the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. The inland areas are predominantly plateaus, with the exception of some rugged mountains in the far north. The northern region is more arid, whereas the southern portion of the country receives more rainfall. Many Somalis are nomadic or semi-nomadic herders, some are fishermen, and some farmers. Mogadishu is the capital and largest city.
History and Politics
Unlike many African nations, Somalia is composed of a single, homogeneous ethnic group. Although Somalis may differ in nuances of local lifestyle, they share a uniform language, religion, and culture, and trace their heritage to a common ancestor. In 1977 Djibouti received independence from the French. Although the government of Djibouti chose not to reunite with Somalia, ties between the countries remain close, as the citizens share a common culture and language. Travel is permitted freely across the border without a visa.

Food and Fasting in Somali Culture
Florangela Davila, Author
Reviewed by Ali Mohamed, Community House Calls Program, Harborview Medical Center June 2001 An estimated 12,000 to 15,000 Somali's living in the Seattle area reside in apartments in the Rainier Valley, in Kent, Tukwila and in SeaTac. So this is where, therefore, a handful of Somali groceries have sprouted up in recent years: its freezers stocked with goat meat; its shelves full of basmati rice, lentils, fava beans, fruit juice and pita bread. Somalis are, like all immigrant groups, adaptive and resourceful. And because they are a relatively recent refugee group, having fled a horrific civil war and famine in 1991 and only beginning to settle in Seattle in the last five years or so. Somalis here generally eat the sorts of foods they are used to from home - and make do, without complaint, when they can't consume the items they'd really like to find in the U.S. One of these preferred items is camel, both as source of calcium (its milk) and of protein (its meat). Camel milk, Somalis believe, is the most nutritious of the animal milks they drink - which also includes goat and cow. Although infants are breastfed up to the age of two, Somalis in their native land would also feed camel milk to children. Adults also regularly drink the milk and some Somali adults are apt to point to the tallest members of their families as proof of the tremendous advantage camel milk holds over other milk.

ABSTRACT

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Thousands of Somali refugees have settled in the Twin Cities since Somalia's civil war erupted in 1991. Minneapolis-St. Paul has become the de facto "capital" of the Somali community in North America. Somalis have arrived directly from Kenyan refugee camps, or in secondary migrations from other U.S. cities, drawn by an attractive urban job market and refugee service agencies (Leslie 2002). More recently, many Twin Cities Somalis have begun to settle in smaller cities and rural towns around southern Minnesota and western Wisconsin, in a classic case of hierarchical spatial diffusion of an immigrant community. Somalis have been drawn by meat processing plants, and other industries that do not require advanced English language skills, to small Minnesota cities such as Rochester, Saint Cloud, Faribault (Demko 2003), Owatonna, Waseca, and Marshall, and the Wisconsin towns of Barron and Hudson. The project will study Somali refugee migration from large cities to rural areas in the framework of the classic "push-and- pull" model of migration.

IRIN Web Special on Separated Somali Children C hapter 3: Looking after separated children Diaspora responsibilities In most European countries, a person is considered a child up to 18, and is entitled to particular rights and treatment. This Western definition may contradict other cultural concepts of what childhood is. For example, in very traditional Somali culture, girls as young as nine may be considered adult; young teenage boys could be taking on the responsibilities of an adult in their home country. Faced with significant cultural contradictions and tough economic and social circumstances, the Somali diaspora find it difficult to raise and educate children, particularly separated children. When a Somali family living abroad takes on a separated child, there is often little comprehension as to what responsibilities that entails - particularly, the specific entitlement of rights bestowed on that child, and the ensuing state responsibilities. It is also unlikely that there is any understanding of the special needs a separated child might have, including issues of identity, depression and trauma. This can lead to serious conflict in the child-guardian relationship, and means a separated Somali child may "resurface" years after their arrival in official figures for crime, juvenile detention, truancy and drug abuse. Torn between two cultures Once in the host country, children - and particularly young teenagers - feel a heavy burden of peer pressure to assimilate. Children are likely to learn the language quickly and adopt "appropriate" cultural behaviour, whereas adults are more likely see it as their responsibility to retain and protect the original culture. Some children have to become a bridge between the two cultures. They must translate and respond to the outside world - for example, reading school letters to their guardians, and writing the reply - while at the same time responding to pressure at home to be worthy and respectful repositories of Somali culture. Attempts by the diaspora to retain the Somali culture include Koranic lessons and insisting on speaking Somali at home. Conflict arises in the family when the child rebels against "Somaliness", and takes on the lifestyle and values of the host culture to an extent that is detrimental to basic adult authority in the home.

IRIN Web Special on Separated Somali Children C hapter 6: Personal Accounts - Halima Halima Halima was taken to Sweden as an unaccompanied minor when she was eight years old, but brought back to Somalia by her parents after her guardian complained of her behaviour. I am afraid that I may be killed here in Somalia. The children in the neighbourhood watch me strangely because I do not know the Somali language. In Mogadishu, people abuse and kill each other. Halima wants to return to Sweden - but she also fears losing her Somali identity: I was taken to Sweden after the war broke out, when I was eight years old. I had refugee status for four years, and then I was granted permission to stay. I started school and learnt the Swedish language. The Swedish government was very compassionate to refugees. Unaccompanied minors were given a hearing and allowed to go into interviews. When the children came into conflict with their guardians, they could go to their teachers, who would ask the children what problems they had - and they almost always helped. In Sweden, they take away and care for children who are battered by their parents. It is very difficult to live without your parents. I used to live with a kind Somali woman, who was a friend of my parents. Whenever she scolded me, I used to feel very bad. One day I was asked in school if I had any problems, and I told them of the sort of scolding I got from my foster mother. The school authorities came home and told my foster mother that she had to change, and that they would take me away from her if she ever mistreated me. This made her furious. She telephoned my parents in Somalia and told them all about it. They talked to me, and decided to bring me back. I was about 15 years old.

July 22, 2000: Somali Culture and Islamic Values conference set for August 16 in Rochester A major conference on "Understanding Somali Culture and Islamic Values" is scheduled for Wednesday, August 16 in Rochester, MN. The conference is designed to enable educators, public service providers and those encountering people in the Somali culture to have a better understanding of their history, culture, and the problems and misperceptions that confront them in American society. The League cosponsored a conference on Somali culture at Roosevelt High School in Minnesota last October. Like Minneapolis and St. Paul, Rochester has a growing Somali population. "Of the more than 22,000 Somali who have recently settled in the United States, more than half live in Minnesota," observed Minnesota Commissioner of Human Rights Janeen Rosas. "We believe it's important for Minnesotans to understand the culture and challenges facing these new immigrants, and we're delighted to be partnering with the League to co-sponsor this event." The conference will feature a series of workshops with Somali experts, exploring Islamic values, family and community structure. Workshop topics will include.

Back to Refugees Somalis culture health refugees immigrants History Like many other African countries, the area inhabited by ethnic Somalis has experienced great divisiveness since at least the mid-1800's, when the area was carved into multiple territories. France controlled the north, now known as Djibouti, Britain and Italy colonized areas further south, and still other regions were under the rule of neighboring Kenya and Ethiopia. In 1960, the Italian and British areas were united into an independent Somalia, and in 1977 Djibouti became a separate nation after receiving independence from France. The regions of Kenya and Ethiopia which contain large numbers of ethnic Somalis are sources of border disputes presently. Beginning in 1991, at least one million Somalis fled to the neighboring countries of Djibouti, Kenya, Ethiopia, Burundi and Yemen, adding to the already overwhelming populations of refugees in the Horn of Africa. While most remain in refugee camps, some numbers have been repatriated, and several thousand have been resettled to the U.S. and Europe. In particular, certain clan-based ethnic groups, the Benadir and the Barawans, have been selectively resettled en masse. Language Somali is the common language of Somalia, and since Islam is so widespread, Arabic is spoken by many Somalis. Additionally, educated Somalis are frequently conversant in Italian, English, and/or Russian, depending on their experiences with the former colonial powers. Some Somalis near Kenya can also speak Swahili.

Part 1: Somali Muslim Journalist on the Effects of Wahhabism on His Country On November 21, 2003, Somali journalist Bashir Goth wrote an extensive article on the influence of Saudi Arabia's Wahhabi Islam in Somalia. The following are excerpts from Goth's article, which appeared in the Addis Tribune The Importation of the 'Authority for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice' to Somalia "Recently, I came across news reports on the activities of a group of clerics calling themselves 'the Authority for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice' trying to impose draconian moral codes on Somaliland citizens… I cannot sit back and watch these people humiliate our women, destroy our beautiful culture, hijack our religion, and denigrate the reputation of our country worldwide. "I cannot find a better start than to relate an incident that occurred in my home village, Dilla… in the early 1990s… After Friday sermon, a man stood up in the mosque to address the worshippers… He was the headmaster of the school, a respected man, a dedicated teacher and a devoted Muslim… [He] said '…I am a new prophet…' The teacher said that he was told by God to reform the Islamic religion and that anyone who believed that Muhammad (PBUH) was the last prophet should read the Qur'an again.

Is there a specific prejudice that a researcher who has closely followed the life of Finland's largest Muslim group, the Somalis, for years would prefer to eradicate? "The trouble is we assume that all who share Islamic faith also share the Muslim culture. We have strong stereotyped conceptions, especially about Muslim women," says Marja Tiilikainen , who defended her doctoral thesis Everyday Islam: The Life of Somali Women in Finland in the Faculty of Arts in October "I wanted to draw attention to the polyphony of Somali women. Women are very different, even within one family, and they may have widely different opinions about issues," Tiilikainen says. According to Tiilikainen, the Somali women in Finland find it difficult to make themselves heard not only in the Islamic community, where the religious power is vested in men, but also in Finnish society where the authorities and the media often interview Muslim men already known in the media.

A November 19th, StarTribune article headed, "Somalis funnel millions to East Africa" alleges that Somali residents who live in Minnesota are funding Somali warlords' war activity in Somali. The article leaves the reader thinking that perhaps Somali people are taking advantage of Minnesota generosity. According to Insight News' Al McFarlane, host of the Insight News/KMOJ Public Policy Forum at Lucille's Kitchen, the reportage makes it easy for a person to label, then marginalize the new community. "I think that there was a lot of ill feelings about what has happened. There are a lot of assertions made in the article that are highly offensive to the Somalis," said Ibrahim Ayeh , a Somali elder who addressed the Public Policy Forum last week.

The changes, from being around people I have known for years to suddenly spending my days with 25 new faces. I prepared for the first day with three alarm clocks positioned around my head only to wake an hour before any of them sounded. Classes, note taking, project ideas discussed at lunch, on the phone, walking to the store, in bars, before class, after class, in class - this is the first week. It’s like a gift though. Exhaustion, challenges, and long hours have never felt so rewarding. Everyone here seems to want to be here, committed to the work they about to undertake even though it is still unknown. there seems to be an energy, a spirit to everyone that makes this eating, breathing, breathing, sleeping hunt for stories an adventure rather than a chore. I almost have names for all of the faces, I can almost find my way to the supermarket, and I can almost give people directions to my house, making me remember that while this week has felt like a month, it is still the first week.

Improvising Business By Stevie Ray As in many cultures, religion and lifestyle go hand in hand. A vast majority of Somalis being Muslim, you can expect certain rituals and traditions to affect relationships both in and out of the office. Prayer is mandated for Muslims and takes place in the morning, noon, mid-afternoon, early evening, and late evening. Each session is only 5-10 minutes long, but is so essential to Muslim belief that one Somali will chastise another for not praying to Allah at the prescribed time. Friday being the Muslim holy day, Somali men attend the Mosque each week for prayer. This being an important time for meditation and reflection.

... Beowulf E xtras Extra Information 'Jalaato' is Ice Cream: A Somali Alphabet for Maine The 3,000 Somalis refugees who have settled in Maine - and their children who have grown up here - face the double challenge of learning to read and write English while preserving a sense of their own rich culture and language. With that in mind, the Maine Humanities Council was a major funder of a A Somali Alphabet /Alfabeetadda Soomaaliyeed, a bilingual primer that illustrates each letter of the Somali alphabet with a word characteristic of Somali life. From B for Babaay (papaya) - the alphabet follows the Arabic order - to U for Uunsi (incense), the paperback book includes explanatory texts in both English and Somali. Written by Nadifo Ayanle and illustrated by Melissa Girardin, the primer should appeal to a variety of audiences. These include adult Somalis learning to read English, English-speaking Mainers interested in learning about Somali life, and young Somalis whose rapid Americanization means they may have lost some links with their traditional Islamic culture, including its language. The book is produced by the African Women's Literacy Project, part of the programming of Portland Adult Education. Through the project, Somali mothers with babies or toddlers receive tutoring in their homes. Storytelling is used both to explore and celebrate Somali culture and to provide a basis for English instruction.

The paper discusses inegalitarian or patriarchal social patterns that are reflected in this system and that have contributed to men's dominance, aggression and violence.
