For political and spiritual sovereignty

Gobanimo’s primary aim is to transcend clan-centric narratives and uncover the unique elements of Somali culture and thought applying them to contemporary issues.

OUR CALL

Gobanimo was founded by four Somalis, drawing inspiration from the intellectual endeavours of the Lafoole School, a group of Somali intellectuals established in the 1970s whose influence has significantly impacted Somali literature and thought. The platform aims to foster Somali discourse free from narrow clan interests and a nostalgic, caustic nationalism for a bygone era in Somalia that has marred much of the discourse we hear.
