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.
