:dead: Oo ma maantuun baad ogaateen? Apparently, the Somali Republic had automobile manufacturing plants as well. Chalk it all down to Aabe siyad who took a country with great prospects and turned into a Soviet-Aid dependant basket-case. And of course the mooryaan who are still fighting over the carcass today.

This again enforces a widely held view among some observers that Somalia, a pastoral, bellicose, tribal nations with no concept whatsoever of what modern state entails, should never have been granted independence so hastily back in 1960. According to this school of thought, had the country's independence been put off for few more years, Somalia would have benefitted more development wise and in the process, perhaps, acquire the rudimentary skills needed to establish and maintain a functioning governmental institutions.

That rail-system in Somalia was dismantled by the British after WWII and transported to Eritrea. Somali Railways is currently in Asmara lmao. The British saw the strategic and industrial potential of Somalia and acted accordingly by ceding away land destroying infrastructure and investing little in their own protectorate. Big Wars + South-North imbalances followed.

Nobody told the somalis to kill eachother over ugly dusty villages and made-up genealogies for 30 years.. They did that all by themselves.
