Indeed But my intent is to show that Somalia can rise and that anarchy wasnt always Somalias nickname.

Cause the title would lead u to believe that u would show pics from right before Shabaab. But u posted pics from 20-30 years before Shabaab.

What u really wanted to say was before the war

It was the fault of all Somalis , u can not just fault one group and leave the rest , the only thing Somalis good at is "finger pointing " i guess
and stop dreaming we weren't like a world super-power or something back then , we have been in this s**** for so long , Somalis never had peace even in Kacaan days or before ,we have been in this constant war with each other for God knows how long , and i don't sea any end to it
