Are the Somalis living in their own 'century of humiliation'

[GalliumerianSlayer]

From being pawns in a huge chess board... played by the French, Abyssinian, Brits and Italians. Later Kenyans regarding NFD/Jubbaland

Short lived Democratic state > Authoritarian Qabilist regime (Failed war to liberate Galbeed) > Somalis back to clan era > Piracy/Terrorism/Famine/War/ Tahriib/Welfare abuse in the West / Atheists, etc...

In this case, it's been more than a century actually.

All nations have gone through similar periods. There are going to be huge shifts in global power dynamics in the coming 50-100 years which could create a vacuum where colonised nations could reassert themselves and define their own future. The question is: will we be in a position to take advantage of this?

Well, not if we continue squabbling over petty qabiil nonsense

Somalis are too busy with this nonsense to be thinking off the wider problem Rag.

We have an upcoming court case with the Kikuyu regarding our maritime territorial waters, they knew that we're in weakened position and are clearly taking advantage of us. Why wouldn't they?
Right now Africa is facing a neo-colonial phase, Turks and the French are clearly still interested in the region. The Portuguese are returning back to Angola/Mozambique due to the Euro crisis and now we have Han Chinese in Africa (do remember that they had a presence back in Early Ming Dynasty).
When will the Somali wake up and kick these terrorists/corrupt scum of our lands?

i think this is the best century before that in the 20th century we were either under european colonization or y a mad darod dictator. at least somalis of today make their own choices how bad they maybe.

[Zakiboy]

Unless a new authoritarian regime takes control, Somalis will remain in this limbo forever.

Why are you always complaining and feeling sorry for yourself?

[TheLoFather]

Soomaalis of today have more lo' and xoolo than ever before and are in control of more lands than ever before one could even go further and say this century may prove to be the golden age of the Soomaaal.!!
