Abstract

The study is based on the impact of discrimination against minority tribes in Somalia. The study used sequential exploratory study utilized quantitative and qualitative data to comprehensively examine discrimination faced by minority tribes in Somalia. A total of 300 participants completed surveys on discrimination forms and impacts. Additionally, 20 in-depth interviews and four focus groups generated qualitative insights into experiences, community effects, and recommended solutions. Quantitative analyses revealed discrimination prominent in employment (31.7%), government services (23.7%), and other domains. Negative mental health, physical health, socioeconomic, and intergenerational impacts were reported. Qualitative themes emerged around identity concealment, appearance-based prejudice, occupation discrimination, education barriers, and workplace mistreatment. Discrimination influenced social valuation, relationships, opportunities and isolation. Historical clan divisions continued influencing modern spheres.
