As all mankind live different parts of this cosmos,weather maybe rather cold or hot or even mixed.Some people get scarce,rainfall or none and in the whole year some places have plenty of natural resources such as: minerals,gas,petrolium,rivers,seas, and forests.Where others have a few or none that's why most of the world's populatoin were completly different in every aspects of the devolopment,ideas,skills,products,education and also administration all these weer causedby the enviromental climate-zone.
Somalia:
It's shaped like a figure 7 and lies on the horn of East Africa and covering an area about 637667msq and has the second largest coast in Africa.The land is semi arid and genarellay hot and dry most of the year.It is low and flat in South Mountanious,in the north Mount Surad is 2407 feet is the highest at Erigavo and the 2 others are Oro Madow 2265 feet at Qandala and Sheekh 1953 feet.Sheekh a place for tourism and the Gol Mountains extands from in Ethiopia.In the west,Ras get the foo,to the NorthEast which has hot and dry weather which is known as gouban.The East towards the Indian Ocean were the North has a slope land,known as Ego.Under futher South as the Huwa.
Somalia also has a grassland,good for mising their livestocks.During a raining season.
The Somali country has two main rivers they are Shebeelo and Juba.
*Juba river flows in the Indian Ocean.
*Shebeelo river ends up at Dai Tobaco district.
Somalia has had a harsh enviromental problem almost of the year.Here the Somali suffer from natural disaster,such as heavy drought,famine and floodings,but onething Somalia has no earthquake and volcanic such as the European Lands.
Somalia has no enough vegetation,which prevents soil erosion but has farmlands between the 2 main rivers in Somalia.
Plus the Nugaal Platious is good for grazing and also farming.
Since the land is mostly plain it's good for transportation and communication.
Somalia is situated in a stratichic posistion which has facilities at the world trade and comerce.The Land is stil virging and has a large deposed of various minerals,natural gas,petrolium which is in both the Land and the off shores.
It is a stratichic posistion,has brought the political challenge to the super power of Easter and Western allies during the Cold-War.
The NortEast Region are just good for arts of fishing and black market.
Because it is rocky,no grazing&farming&growing the crops but has a good Frank Sense (which the the early Arabian known as Puntland).
The Somali People Features:
The Somali People are rather tall,narrow headed,arrogantIdile,talkative and Slim,Slander,graceful,elegent and rather proud and for sighted.They are mostly Nomadics who edure the Harsh enviroment&desert,tough fighters and warriors their weak point is idureis of nation aroggant and powering angery,Tribalist,egoist,under national elements.
They are corrupted&less educated,careless and a Dogment Society.
Most of The Somalis are Patrolists(Nomadics) who migrated with raining seasons,for searching a better life ,grazing Lands through Ethiopian and Kenyan Barders.The Somali population who do not read nor write anything are estimated to be 65% compared to their Counter Parts,Some believes saying that theere was a man who had lived before Ten Thousand years ago,had the same skill or feature of the current Somalis now and which founded several sites near Sheikh,Eyl and Berbera.
The Somali women used to make pots from clauy and used to make pound grains between two rocks,while mens were hunting wild animals with spears and and arrows and the coastal men were doing fishing activities along the sea shores both Indian Ocean,the Red Sea and the banks of the rivers.
After centuries,then later they became little bit civalized and they started a building of comercy and trade to the outside world.
The Origins Of The Somali People:
The origin of the Somalid as an oral traditional wewr arabs(especially those who migrated from the Banu Quraish by political affairs after Caliphitte)even Persian immigrants was said they settled in somalia after escaping from their Lands and also the Al Hasa Group they were from Hadramaut,Yemen.They came to Banadir coast.
Ammu Zaid Group-Zaid the grandson of the Caliph Ali led a rebellion against Caliph Hisham in Iraq whom he considered as no worth of being a Caliph Muslims.
Zaid was killed in Kufah in 740 ce.
His followers fled to the Banadir coast,the Ammu Zaid refused to live with Al Hasa because the Ammu Zaid were Shia and the Al Hasa were Sunni,so they decided to go the interior Somalia.
Both of them are found in Mogadishu and Barawe both in Somalia,they were the first Arabian settlers in Somalia.
After forty years the death of the Prophet(PBUH),many civil wars were fought in Arabia.
This was a result of Muslims being divided politically and socially.
Between 695 ce and 795 ce.Some Arabs and Persians came to settle permenently in Somalia because their own Land were unsafe.
The Arabian&Persian immigrants cannot be that estimated we also know that somalis were originated from Ethiopia especially the Oromos(apart from those who origins were Persian or an Arab).
Somalis 80% of them are simillary Oromo decents and due to the 20% are the Arabs&Persians,many of us believe that we r originated from the Arabs&Persians but no most of were from the Ethiopian Highlands that we spreaded ourselves alongside the coast,but we all know that Somalis are Cushitic do you know that they are also decended from the Berbers,Copts and the Ancient Egyptians........
If the Somalis are not Egyptians THEN WHY DID THEY CALL THE LAND PUNTLAND IT'S TRUE SOMALIS ARE SIMILLARY RELATED TO THEM.
Danakil,Tigranya,Galla,Oromo,Saho and Afar are also Cushitic.
Many disputes has been through that where the heck we come from we all know that Cushitic have been pushed down from SOUTHERN EGYPT,NUBIA,BERBERS AND ALSO WESTERN MARROCO.
SOMALIS AND OROMOS HAVE THE SAME DNA CHECK IT OUT AT WIKIPEDIA OR ENCYCLOPEDIA.
The Culture And Tradition Of Somalia:
Somalia is a member of East African countries which are respected with their good culture tradition.Somalia has national universities,libraries,religious centres.
These are mainly Somali composers,whose musics are enjoyed by Somali citizens and Foreigners and also people with contributions to poems as an entertainment.
Traditional clothes and costums.Somalis have had a quality of Patrolismand and Natioalism heridity during the struggle of Freedom and Independence,who had resisted the new colonies.Somalis are said they are 99% muslims and 1% others.
The Islamic Law was used partly,plus the adaptation of man-codes which Pre-Somalis used style of dressing and intigation of European.The Pre-History of Somalis wre not written but narrated as an oral tradition by passing through from generation to Somalis have had the idea of Democratic because they elected freely their chief sublocal chiefs among the community either by heritage or they were elected by the people.Most Ancient Somalis had had a personal-freedom of expressing their clearly.
Somalis have possed the scarce culture tradition religion and language plus lineage.
The Economic Problems:
Somali people are under the line of poverty because of the country's less prodution due to unreliable seasonal raining and Idleness of the Somali people,just talking and chsatting as well as parasites to their poor relatives& freinds.
Simillary the food prices are tending up every year and the citizens are extrovagant which caused unrest to the economic and social problems.
If they are applied in morden technology in two fertile rivers plus increasing tourism bouming either private nor states income will be good however the livestocks are number one of the thing which whtum income on the other hand the imported and exported items are unbalanced and agriculture is their devolpment.
Most of the people are Patrolists(Nomadics).
The tasks of the Somalis are included fishing activity,livestock and it's product.
In the recent civil war have caused to turn into the Somali Youths into hooligans,gangsters,street children,drug addicted,high way robbers,rapists,tribalists,kidnappers and childtrafficking,In the last 2 decades:
THERE WERE NO SCHOOLS,GENERAL HEALTH AND REHEBLITATION CENTRES AND OTHER USAUL SKILLS.LACK OF THESE HAVE CREATED MOODS OF DEEP FRUSTRATIONS.
SOMALI MAIN ACTIVITY ARE RISING LIVESTOCKS,CUTTING TREES,GRASS,SMALL COMERCE AND OTHER HUMBLE JOBS.
THEIR WEAK POINTS ARE MAINLY CLAN HOSTILITY,POLITICAL VIOLENCE AND HUNGRY POWER.
Factors That Udermine National Unity:
Although national unity is very important,there are some factors that undermine it these are:
1)TRIBALISM:This occurs when one ethnic community is more favoured than the others.
This could be witnessed in employment and admission to training institutions,Tribalism creates disatisfaction among communities.Tribalism may also become strong when a political party is made up of people from the same tribe.A good political party is one whose members come from all over the country.
Tribalism can cause war.It has caused Tribal Conflicts in Kenya and genocide in Rwanda.
2)NEPOTISM:This is the practice of showing favouritism to members of one's family member,especially by giving them jobs.For example,some people only employ their family members.This causes Frustrations to other people,who may be more qualified.Their Frustration may results in open hostility and conflictss.
Nepotism was the cause of war in Somalia.
3)GREED:Some people do not care about the welfare of others.They only want to aquire more for themselves.Sometimes they even grab public land and buildings.This excessive greed is a major cause of conflicts and poverty.
4)POLITICAL SELFISHNESS:Some leaders put their own interest before those of the nation.They do this in order to hold onto posistions f influence.Such leaders sometimes brings divisions in the country instead of unity.
5)REGIONALISM:Sometimes people only think about the region(districts or province) where theycome from.Such people do not consider themselves somalis.For Example the Self Republic Somaliland claims themselves Somalilanders.
6)Uneven Distrubution Of Natural Resources:If certain areas are neglected by the goverment,the people in those areas will feel leftout.This undermines the national unity for Example:Delta a region of Nigeria which is rich in fuel, the people of delta aren't treated fairly so they dismiss and against them.
7)RACISM:Racism is the practice where people from a particular race are discriminated against.Before Independence the colonial goverment traeted africans,arabs,asians, and Europeans differently.European recieved the best treatment and jobs,while africans got the worst.The different races were not allowed to live in the same area or go to the same schools.
This made some communities bitter.The struggle for Independence was also a struggle against Racism.We should treat everyone equally.
8)RELIGIOUS CONFLICTS:Sometimes people discriminate against those who do not belong to their religion.For Example: the Khilaaf(Conflicts) between the bigger Shayuukh(Priests) are increasing the fight.
But In Islam we do not allow Muslims to fight with with each other because it is haraam,Allah(S.W.T) STATES IN THE QURAN KARIM THE ONE WHO KILL HIS MUSLIM BROTHER IS A KAFIR.ALSO WE MENTION WHEN LIVING WITH A NON-MUSLIM PERSON WE MUST LIVE WITH THEM PEACELY EVEN IF THEY REFUSE TO EMBRACE ISLAM.
And remember the conflicts between Shiate and Sunnis in Iraq led to a civil war.
In Nigeria there is a big conflict between the Christians and the Muslim.
Many have died as a result.
Many conflicts have had happened in Sudan.
These are the factors that undertmine national unity.
Inshallah somalia one day will unite!!!!!!
