You're welcome, but I'm surprised you're not aware of this history. I thought it was common knowledge. But then again, for many of us history starts when Siyad Barre made a dash for the Kenyan border.

There is something innacurate in the title of this thread .
Let me give you a little lesson in white man's tribal history
You've got Great Britain and little Britain . Great Britain is the UK . Little Britain is in France
Briton and British are 2 different things . All Britons are not british and all british are not britons , okay ?
carry on !

Salah, It was egregious mistake to deny prosperity to the rest of the country except Muqdisho and surrounding cities. I can see why the deepseated animosity in the North towards the south took roots right after Independence from your post.

Wow you know the difference between Briton & British. You want a gold medal? We're discussing something important. Even FarahwithFlare who was foaming at the mouth just yesterday was learning something and you come in with your nonsense. If you have nothing valuable to add please don't bother.
