It is a change of pace for him, lower stakes than his usual work. It will turn out to be one of my favorite novels.<\/p>\n<p>I have visited a vast Somali refugee camp in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/world\/world-regions\/africa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">northern Kenya<\/a> and the Indian Ocean coast, where Somali kidnappers have recently captured and killed several Europeans.<\/p>\n<p>Now I am back in Nairobi, talking about the problem of Somalia, which Kenyans face up close. Kenya is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/christianity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mostly Christian<\/a>. Somalis are Muslim \u2014 and poor even by African standards. Kenya needs Western safari tourism for jobs and cash. The kidnappings have not helped. Kenyans would rather keep their neighbors out. But the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/world\/united-nations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">United Nations<\/a> and international aid groups have given them little choice (oh, the irony; poor countries hate open borders even more than rich ones).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/dhs-reviews-citizenship-cases-from-somalia-other-high-risk-countries-possible-fraud\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>DHS REVIEWS CITIZENSHIP CASES FROM SOMALIA, OTHER HIGH RISK COUNTRIES FOR POSSIBLE FRAUD<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I am having drinks at a hotel talking about Somalia with (white) non-governmental aid workers \u2014 they live well, these NGO types. And one says:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Here\u2019s what you need to know about Somalia. It\u2019s on the ocean, right? [Somalia has the longest coastline in Africa, almost 2,000 miles.] But most Somalis, they can\u2019t swim, can\u2019t fish, they have no interest in the water. That\u2019s how inward-facing they are, how tribal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The words stuck with me. And 14 years later, they help explain the multi-billion dollar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/epicenter-fraud-minnesotas-empty-stomachs-fake-autism-therapy-scandal-could-top-2-billion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Somali corruption scandal in Minnesota<\/a>, which exploded into one of the biggest stories of 2025.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/bessent-turns-up-heat-sprawling-minnesota-fraud-schemes-treasury-personnel-deploy-ground\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>BESSENT TURNS UP HEAT ON SPRAWLING MINNESOTA FRAUD SCHEMES AS TREASURY PERSONNEL DEPLOY ON THE GROUND<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Somalis are tribal, but they are not alone.<\/p>\n<p>It is impossible to understand the massive chunk of the world that runs from Morocco 4,000 miles east to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/world\/world-regions\/pakistan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pakistan <\/a>and south across Africa without realizing the importance of tribes. This area covers nearly two billion people, mostly Muslim \u2014 but includes hundreds of millions of Christians too. It is mostly poor, but it also has the wealthy Gulf Arab nations.<\/p>\n<p>What it shares more than anything is a commitment to tribe as the center of identity. In Arab and Muslim countries, cousin marriage helps sustain tribal identity; marriages between cousins account for about two-thirds of all marriages in Pakistan and nearly as many in some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/world\/world-regions\/middle-east\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arab countries<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/loeffler-vast-network-somali-nonprofits-ripped-off-minnesotas-welfare-state\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>LOEFFLER: VAST NETWORK OF SOMALI NONPROFITS RIPPED OFF MINNESOTA\u2019S WELFARE STATE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Rates are somewhat lower in Somalia, because marriages help bind &#8220;clans&#8221; \u2014 not just already closely-related families \u2014 to each other.<\/p>\n<p>Still, as a book on marriage in Arab and African countries explains:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Overall, in the course of the marriage process in Somalia and Djibouti, collective interests are put before the interests of the two individuals getting married.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/somali-minnesotans-being-scapegoated-fraud-investigation-nyt-writer-claims\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>SOMALI MINNESOTANS BEING &#8216;SCAPEGOATED&#8217; IN FRAUD INVESTIGATION, NYT WRITER CLAIMS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I do not think most Americans can easily wrap their heads around how foreign these cultures really are to our way of thinking.<\/p>\n<p>A society that does not even allow its members to choose their husbands or wives has a very different structure than Western societies that focus on individual rights \u2014 and the rule of law.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, in both the West and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/columns\/heritage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tribal societies<\/a>, the family is the core unit, which may be why Westerners have not seen this difference as clearly as they should.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/alex-berenson-minnesota-only-beginning-new-yorks-medicaid-grift-far-worse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>ALEX BERENSON: MINNESOTA WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING: NEW YORK&#8217;S MEDICAID GRIFT IS FAR WORSE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But in the West, each family is effectively independent. More powerful groupings are political, not familial, organized by population size and geography \u2014 cities, counties, states, nations.<\/p>\n<p>In tribal societies, families stack together to gain power, which is why cousin marriage matters so much. Me against my cousin; me and my cousin against our second-cousin neighbors; our extended family against yours \u2014 all under the leadership of a clan leader. The clans may share territory, but not political leadership.<\/p>\n<p>In the West, nation-states gather legitimacy from \u2014 at least in theory \u2014 providing all citizens equal justice under the law.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/massive-medicaid-fraud-scheme-puts-minnesotas-federal-funding-risk-investigators-warn-fallout-could-wide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>MASSIVE MEDICAID FRAUD SCHEME PUTS MINNESOTA\u2019S FEDERAL FUNDING AT RISK \u2014 AND FALLOUT COULD WIDEN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tribal societies do not have a similar overarching philosophical foundation. They work in practice as tribes compete and cooperate, sometimes in relatively calm equilibrium, sometimes under the autocratic leadership of the strongest tribe and its chiefs.<\/p>\n<p>And sometimes in open conflict, up to and including civil war \u2014 as in the wars that wracked Somalia for decades.<\/p>\n<p>When individual families from tribal societies come to Western countries, they have little choice but to adopt Western stacking mechanisms \u2014 to accept the rule of law and the authority of independent political jurisdictions.
