The Distortion Continues On-line: Wikipedia

Post by marcassmith »

The Picture representing all Somali people on Wikipedia. Once again distorted! Over-represented by a small minority who still romanticise their nostalgic glory days. Funnly enough there was a picture of Hadraawi on there but its been deleted.

I'm surprised I know all of them. On point, I don't see anything wrong with the pictures, its only a fact that 90% of Somalia's history comes from "those" people.
