for a long time before the Somalis put their arms down to realize what modern democratic government requires.Some of the Somali people are very loyal to their cultural backgrounds and tribalism is strong. The fall of the dictator Siad Barry (Maxamed Siyaad Barre) and the political gap that followed led considerable numbers of the Somali people to think only about spiritual solution through religion.
Pragmatism is unknown, and rationality is missing through the network of the warlords and those new Islamists. They think the problem will be solved by religious means.
I believe that religion to be the cause of the deterioration. We have evidences from different parts of the world that where religion, any religion engages in politics, crises will rise. It's well known that if any state wants to progress well and save its integrity, it should regulate all religions living there but without having them to interfere in politics.
That means secularism is better for Somalia as I hear from modernized well educated Somalis I know.
And if they started to prevent women from work at their controlled areas, or if they began to enforce some religious regulations, then the Somali people will begin to face human abuses in the near future. The human rights organizations must be well concerned by now.
