Calm down somali dude....

Ok let me ask legit questions now.

1. What is the difference between somaliland and somalia?

2. It appears that somalians think they are superior to other africans. Why is that?

OK. black one.


Somaliland is the northwestern region of somalia. They are ethnic somalis and are muslims like all somalis. When the central government in somalia fell, the south decended into chaos and those in the north chose to take part in forming a government that controlled their area. but greedy politicians decided they wanted their own country. But luckily the majority of the somalis there want 1 SOMALIA. and all of them need a somali passport to go anywhere, cause somaliland is not a internationally recognised country. at best its a rogue state within the somalination. because it has one clan of somalis that live there, they have more stability, further more since that region is less populated it doesnt really get much attention. The capital of somalia, Mogadishu has as many people than the entire region of somalialand.


Somalis are proud people. Thus they look down on all people. Somalis dont claim Arab despite being in the Arab league. We dont claim black, since we dont look like black people. But some somalis get upset when black people cliam them, because they see this as undermining their beutiful people and history in exchange for being called black, which usually comes attached with the baggage of slavery and the weird customs that are immoral in our culture.

Ethiopians and eritreans do look down on blacks too. But since somalia is one ethnicity and ethiopia and eritrea are multiethnic you tend to get more attention on somalis because of this.

Thank you for answering.If it somaliland isn't internationally recognised then those there might as well consider themselves to be somalians.
Their segregation isn't doing anything to foster the unity we need as Africans.
Also,where does the present somaliland stem from? Is it the former italian somaliland or british somaliland?

Thanks again. I have seen many pictures of somalians that are dark-skinned, why do many of you refuse to accept that you don't look like black people?
@bolded,what weird customs are you talking about?
Re: Ask A Muslim/somali by somalia5: 1:40pm On Dec 08, 2012
Somaliland just means somali land.



Black is a color or culture that some choose who dont know what their ethnicity is. Somalis come in all shades of color but can easily be identified from black people.

Because our culture prides itself in knowing your clan and lineage, no sane somali would think of taking the word black to label themselves at the expense of somali. Most blacks are not muslim nor do they have societies that we somalis would consider culturally modest or inline with islamic doctrine.


Blacks in american and in africa have practices that are against islam. Then their is the Look that blacks have, somethings somalis, ethiopians find demonic. IMO when i see african people who have negroid features it looks very ugly to me. This is somethings somalis and most horners always believed thousands of years before whites came to the horn. SOMALIS in particular owned slaves for hundreds of years, these slaves were negroid and to this day they are treated like third class citizens. No ethnic somali is allowed to marry or date with these blacks. Somali word for black is very derogatory and we use the word black to refer to other africans.

am glad you got that off your chest.

1. HARD HEADED- we are very proud of this. If your people were hard headed maybe you wouldnt be enslaved and your children wouldnt be in america shooting each other over shoes.

2. WEIRD- thats an opinion, whats weird to one is normal to another, culture, religion, history make things that are unfamiliar to one, weird to another, and normal for others.

Well every nation has ups and downs. But to be willingly enslaved and sold to whites by your own people is so backward that it can only be done by negroids.


Somalis have had thousands of years of history. A decade of conflict in which we are fighting foreign meddling actually goes to show you that despite western interferances we will stand up to them even it means having no government rather than having a government installed by the west.

SLAVERY is always gonna be all i think about when i think of blacks. These people shoot each other over shoes in america, but cant do a thing to the people who enslaved them. Where was all this heart when they were picking cotton?

i have no respect for blacks, honestly. They have no self respect. Just now i am reading a thread about how IGBOS are related to jews, wtf.

Well to be honest this is what you will never understand about Somalis. We dont care about what the world thinks. We dont change our selves or culture because of some one else.

Our country's economy is better than neighboring countries, our inflation is low, we are good in buisness and taken over markets in kenya, and ethiopia. We have two ethnic countries that are somali, DJBIOUTI, AND SOMALIA.


Somalia has been peaceful and has had democratric elections. And we have a great history of never bowing down to outsiders.


BUT you will always be known as those who sold your own people to whites, and then when the slaves came to america they worked for free for 400 years untill white people felt bad and freed those slaves. LMAO


that is the worst. HAVING NO HISTORY IS WORSE.

We dont have buck teeth, i dont even know that that is. I do know we do have a high forehead, so do other horners, and in many parts of the world having a high forehead is seen as noble.

any real questions, i will try to answer.

major civilizations to you must be what your taught in class.


We have our own history and we have not changed our language despite being around arabs, indians, persians. Mogadishou the capital of Somalia means in persian the seat of the shah. We are 100 percent muslim. Northern Somalia was part of the ottoman empire in the 1700's.

While west africans were being enslaved, Somalis with the help of the turks in 1500's were fighting the portugese and ethiopians and defeating them.


We were in alliance with many great nations and never gave up our rights and always died for them. Thus why you see Somalia today sourounded by christians in africa and arabs in the middle east, despite that we are 100 percent muslim and dont speak arabic but speak our own somali language. That is hard headedness and pride.

hard headedness is not something to be proud of. be proud when you actually have something to be proud about. im sorry but i dont see anything somalis can boast about. nothing at all. your only claim to greatness is somalis never being slaved. that is pretty lame.

Well what does europe have to be proud of going around enslaving people?


if you dont know somalis are like the spartans of africa. We dont like to take rule over non somalis. All we want is all somalis to live under one government. We are xenophobic and have no aspirations to take over other peoples land as long as somalis dont live there.

That being said, Early somalis in Ethiopia invented coffee, the present day city of zeila in somalia is where the Prophet mohameds campanions fled to in the 600 AD. We traded with ancient egyptians, ottomans, arabs, persians, indians, chinese. this was when west africans were being sold.


We were the first in africa to use cannons more than 500 years ago. at this time, american blacks were picking cotton in present day america. We were the first people to domesticate the camel. We are known warriors that have been fighting for thousands and thousands of years. I SAY that is alot to be proud of.

We dont consider any race superior to us. Why should we?


We look better than europeans. Better features than blacks, less hair than arabs, and straighter eyes than asians. We got the whole package.

As for superiority in terms of knowledge and wealth, that changes from century to century. A few centruy ago it was arabs, now its europeans, and next century will be asians.



Unlike other africans, SOMALIS, ETHIOPIANS, ERITREANS, dont have inferiority complex.

I wouldnt really know, Most of our trade and history is with neighboring countries in the middle east, which is weird because we have no historical trade or brotherhood with the countries in africa like kenya or ethiopia.

We owned kenyans as slaves, and we fought ethiopia for hundreds of years.

We do share many foods and clothing style with Indians from India.
