    The owner of Hotel Sahafi in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, was among those killed by today's bomb attack outside the building. He had inherited the business from his father, who was himself killed in a similar attack on the hotel in 2015. https://bbc.in/2PNsL4T pic.twitter.com/1MZSP7nDRN

        A very homogeneous country of 1 tribe and yet cannot understand each other. Imagine if it were like 50 tribes like other African countries. There wouldn't be a country left. Somalia exporting terrorism since the 70's

        Although Somalia is ethnically very homogeneous - the overwhelming majority of its people are Somalis - Somalis are not a tribe, but are divided into many clans or tribes with their own sub-divisions and have always suffered from inter-clan and intra-clan divisions and fighting.

        They are a tribe. All tribes have clans. Somalis are a special breed if they can't make interclan peace. We all know what went wrong that made a once peaceful country violent. Say NO to religious extremism folks. These are the results.
