Yusuf Abdi left the following comment about Monday's post about this past weekend's unrest in the local Somali community:
"In this context there is what I believe misinterpreted facts and reasons for the outbreak of what caused this fight. This fight had nothing to do with Darod or Hawiye. It was just a four teenage girls fighting over what we all know little evil teenage girls do or say to each other on how they look like or act that day. also I believe this incident had nothing to do with sharia law and how modest these teenage girls dressed....the four girls were just in mood for fight and they should not make excuses on whether they were fighting over religion or tribe causes.In 56572 we do not have clans or tribes we are all Somalis....so we should all know everyday teenage girls fist fight and called names on each other so we shoudn't make any big deal out of this. I would like to thank the PRPD for their respect and efforts to solve this matter last weekend. They did awesome job getting the situation settle and work with the elders."
Dear Yusuf,
Would a Somali woman have said what you are trying to say using the same words? That Somali teenage girls fistfight every day is news to me. Certainly this is not what you meant? Do you deny that the girls fighting that day were from seperate clans?

My point was that girls sometimes don't get along...this become a fistfight is unfortunate and no fistfights don't happen everyday but conflicts between teenage girls do happen everyday...Yes I do deny they are two different clans...the four girls are the same clan and they all have the same cultural background. The situation was handle well by those who were involved so let's not make this a tribal and cultural clash. The Somali youth in 56572 have very little on the tribal affiliation. This is something that our grandparents are aware of but these girls most likely know little things about tribes and clans.
