I appeal to every civilised person to join me in the struggle to end the long

existed and still ongoing racism and discrimination which have caused untold
sufferings to Bantu/Jareer people since Somalia was founded [...] We have
been and still are being discriminated against in Somalia publicly and privately.
We have been systematically alienated by every Somali regime on academics,
politics and economics, and often exploited as the cheapest labor
force. We have been denied our Somali identities and human respect; we
have been prejudged and categorized as ADOON (slave) and low class humans
who lack the capability of normal thinking and reasoning, which undermines
our general competence and dignity. The Bantu [in Somalia] have
suffered right from the beginning. We have been suppressed, oppressed,
robbed, raped and killed. We have been deprived of our civil rights as Somali
citizens, from independence by every Somali regime until the present. We
have been stigmatized and undermined as inferior to other Somalis; yet we
are never given any eligibility for opportunities in the Somali society [...] My
experience in Somalia has been [this]; we did not need to commit a crime of
any kind, because being a Jareer itself is a crime
