Dubai 1991 vs Dubai 2017

Post by 26June1960 »

Image

Somalia in 1990 looked far more modern than Dubai in 1990. In 1991, when Somalia's central government collapsed and we [Somalis] disintegrated into inter-clan fighting and bigotry, Dubai was still a shithole. We [Somalis] destroyed our own homes, industries and self-worth and for what? Because Faarax A is from a different clan than Faarax B?

It is never too late to recover from the 25+ years of disgrace we have been in Soomaaliyeey. Somalinimo haa noolaato! :som:

Fuck off with that revisionism shit.

Only one city in the whole former Somali Republic looked half decent, and that was because all state assets were concentrated there. Every other city was a shithole. The Somali Republic was a shithole, people fantasise about how great things were because they are currently so dire, but the Somali Republic was essentially a beggar state just like it is today. The Somali Republic begged for oil from Iraq, begged for military assistance from USSR then USA, begged for assistance from the likes of f-king Romania for gods sake!

There was never a time when the Somali Republic had a robust economic system. There was never a time when it was not a beggar state reliant on aid.

All the resources were syphoned to the south, this is despite major hard currency coming from the north (US base in Berbera and livestock trade, coffee export via Ethiopia etc.)

So spare us the nostalgia sxb.

That's your biased, qabyaalad-based opinion.

Mashallah..
We have the second longest coast of africa which means we can have a large fishing industry..
We can also have agriculture in the south and lets not forget we have livestock and oil.

we can build Somalia in 15 years if somaliland would stop believing that they are an ''independent country''.

Independent ku wase..

I am fine with things as they.

Continue to spiral into more chaos, more terrorism, more violence, while I close deals with the world and build my country :)

You have no hope, I know you are all high on cheese but wallahi the south will never recover.

You will continue to beg AMISOM for protection, and send your girls to be fondled by Saudis. You bring nothing but fail to the Somali name.

To engage with someone that has no biased views in order to come to an end goal is a logical think to do. But, to engage with someone, full of qabyaalad and biased views, due to the environment he was raised in, will not change anything to say the least and that in itself is illogical.

Thats fine, but never say Somalia was prosperous, that is factually incorrect becasue:

1- It was called the Somali Republic, made of the union of Somaliland and Somalia.
2- Only one single city had any semblance of progress, every other part was a complete and utter shithole. The country was never free from begging for aid and assistance. Total shambles.

Someone is pissed. :lol: You say it's "my revisionism", but again, that's your opinion. Wash your heart from the cuqdad (hatred) and qabyaalad that has ravaged you, because "Faarax A" happens to be from a different clan than you.

What cuqdad dhabayco?

I am talking facts. If you can prove a single point that I have raised to be untrue I will happy to conceded. But you cant and you wont. You want to paint a rosy picture of the failed union of Somaliland and Somalia. It was a shithole. The south took our hard earned money and built up a single city. The economy was a total wreck. Beggar state that could not sustain itself despite the wealth in livestock and farmland.

You can not undo reality.

Somaliland was rejected independence multiple of time.

You part of the federal government of Somalia.

There is no Somali republic now but we have TFG of Somalia..

You can be ''independent'' if you want. But the world views you as Somalia kkk

My response to you and those with the same mindset as you is this; your biased opinions, based on qabyaalad is not something I'm interested in to engage with.
