In late 1888, Sultan Yusuf Ali Kenadid entered into a treaty with the Italians, making his Sultanate of Hobyo an Italian protectorate. His rival Boqor Osman Mahamuud was to sign a similar agreement vis-a-vis his own Majeerteen Sultanate (Majeerteenia) the following year. Both rulers had entered into the protectorate treaties to advance their own expansionist goals, with Sultan Kenadid looking to use Italy's support in his ongoing power struggle with Boqor Osman over the Majeerteen Sultanate, as well as in a separate conflict with the Omani Sultan of Zanzibar over an area to the north of Warsheikh. In signing the agreements, the rulers also hoped to exploit the rival objectives of the European imperial powers so as to more effectively assure the continued independence of their territories.[7] The Italians, for their part, were interested in the largely arid territory mainly because of its ports, the latter of which could grant them access to the strategically important Suez Canal and the Gulf of Aden.[8] Somalis only used Europeans not the other way around. They signed treaties with them. Somalis are not animals like Bantus who get enslaved in their own country. |
gallivant:In terms of the word colonization yes they did. But that is simply because they were in the coast where they used Bantus to slave on the farms. Somalis dont speak Italian and they were in Southern Somalia for a about a decade. |
muafrika:Do you know that any place with a large enough population has crime? Even in The USA in the biggest cities there are over several hundred murders a year. - Deaths in Chicago per year
|
dajoaneke:You will see what becomes of your betrayal |
muafrika:Anyone can write n editorial it doesnt make it a fact. When an article has 'could lead to', that says a lot. |
muafrika:An opinion piece reaching article about a couple of people fighting doesnt mean All Somalis are at war. |
gallivant:Give proof. Italy freed Bantus, and still used Bantus on farms, and used the coast to get supplies and then went to war with Ethiopia not Somalis. |
dajoaneke:Your lord asks you to bow before him |
muafrika:Their is no clan violence of Somalis in northern Kenya. And this was not the census that was cancelled, this is merely the population of Northern Kenya. Their are no clans killing each other in Somalia let alone in kenya. Somalis are fighting on the side of government or al shabaab. The only people those Somalis in Kenya are killing are Bantus who are headed to Somalia to fight (KDF). They are also helping their Somali brothers by making disturbances and killing and kidnapping tourists. |
trollolo:1. I dont know what L.S.A is. 2. Turkey is not colonizing Somalia, they have a few hundred construction workers, teachers, doctors, and have built schools, universities, and hospitals. No country can colonize another country. If anyone wanted to Colonize Somalis they would know that many have tried and we still have our culture and religion and language. Plus if you knew anything of History you would know that Turkey (ottoman empire) has been allies with Somalis for over 500 years. It was the Ottomans and Somalis who defeated Ethiopia and Portugal. It was the Ottoman and Somalis who helped Arabs fight off the Portuguese in Kenya. |
absoluteSuccess:adf ;kere keje iser tefea |
I am God. I require all the women to accept and embrace me with all their heart. To believe and to worship me as I am god. It is only then that you will enter the kingdom of heaven. |
gallivant:Italy was only on the coast using ports, they wanted to go to war with Ethiopia and in exchange would give us back Ogadenia. So that is why Somalis allied with Italy, Italy was not in Somalia more than a decade. They were defeated by the British. |
ZianaJordana:Race is a social construct and is not scientific. |
Justfollowit:1. Somali kids would like to tell you to save that money and get plastic surgery to make your nose and lips smaller. |
Justfollowit:lol, cause somalia has monkeys and jungles |
Justfollowit:I am sure the HIV you infected me with will slowly take me away. ![]() |
Justfollowit:I apologize, i know you like to bend down and grab your ankles and dont like to be disturbed when assuming the position. ![]() |
Supper I trust our peace treaty is still in effect, or are you prepared for war? ![]() |
gallivant:If you think I am kenyanlady you are mistaken. That biiiiitch is crazy. She claims random Somalis as half Bantu cause she likes how they look. |
KenyanLady:slowpoke, did you have to look for the towns name and meaning. How many cities in Somalia have arabic /perisan sounding names including the capital. It is in every history book that Northern Kenya was part of southern Somalia, it was divided as Southern Somalia was controlled by Italy and northern Kenya was controlled by the british. I have to tell you the history even though you are from Kenya, epic bantu failure. |
Justfollowit:Thousads already died, yet Somalis have been doing better surviving and defending themselves from invaders for over 2,000 years. I cant say the same for the jungles of west aid invested africa |
gallivant:Unlike the Jungle of west africa where everyone is dying from their lack to hold back sexual desires for apes, Somalis actually hold an important trading route and are a resilient people who have flourished and taken over more land than any other ethnic group in Africa. |
Justfollowit:Your moms weave must have been too tight when she birthed you. |
gallivant:1. It last happened in 2011, and Somalis have managed to still be alive for thousands of years. Yet your kind would not be without white people giving you freedom. |
bkirongo:The North Eastern Province (Somali: Woqooyi Bari) is one of the former Provinces in Kenya. It has a land area of 127,358.5 km², with its capital at Garissa. Previously known as the Northern Frontier District (NFD), the territory was carved out of the Jubaland region of present-day southern Somalia during the colonial period.[1] It is and has historically been primarily inhabited by ethnic Somalis.[2][3] On June 26, 1960, four days before granting British Somaliland independence, the British government declared that all Somali-inhabited areas of East Africa should be unified in one administrative region. However, after the dissolution of the former British colonies in the region, Britain granted administration of the Northern Frontier District to Kenyan nationalists despite an informal plebiscite demonstrating the overwhelming desire of the region's population to join the newly formed Somali Republic,[5] and the fact that the NFD was almost exclusively inhabited by ethnic Somalis.[6] On the eve of Kenya's independence in August 1963, British officials belatedly realized that the new Kenyan regime was not willing to give up the Somali-inhabited areas it had just been granted administration of. Led by the Northern Province People's Progressive Party (NPPPP), Somalis in the NFD vigorously sought union with their kin in the Somali Republic to the north.[7] In response, the Kenyan government enacted a number of repressive measures designed to frustrate their efforts in what came to be known as the Shifta War:[2] As of 2009, the North Eastern Province has a population of 2,310,757 residents.[10] It is almost entirely inhabited by ethnic Somalis. The main Somali clans in the area are the Ogaden, Gurreh, Murale, Ajuran, Degodia and other Hawiye.[11][3] |
gallivant:They have their own representatives, the police are Somali, and they speak Somali. They have been part of Kenya for 60 years, yet they still speak Somali, what does that say? |
KenyanLady:Just grab your ankles and I will add a half Somali to your litter of biracial kids. |
gallivant:Lol, why would Italians use Somalis as shields when it was the Italians who had tanks and Somalis who would ultimately benefit from the capture of Ogaden. Remember that Italy was allied with the Ottoman Empire which was allied with Somalis. You wrongfully assume that everyone was exploited like Bantus. Italy actually developed Mogadishu. And Northern Somalia the british had to resort to bombing towns the first by a European country in Africa and the developing world, because Somalis were fighting for 30 years until they got their freedom. Many documentaries were written about the Mad Mullah. |
Kenyan lady would you like a third exotical child, if so grab your ankles and assume the position. |
Kafrican:1. How are they taking their jobs when The Somalis own the business and offer them products for a cheaper price. As many studies have shown this was simply jealousy. But South Africans dont surprise me, as they are the people who were under house arrest in their own country for hundreds of years until 20 years ago, now they have the balls to loot stores who are offering them good prices on merchandise that they would not otherwise have access to. 2. Northern Kenya where somalis inhabit is essentially a state within a state, as the language spoken is Somali and the people are Somali, thus why the Kenyan border will never be secure with somalia. |
Justfollowit:Drought and famine can happen anywhere, you would know that if you had a proper education. Your weave must be on too tight. Grab your ankles and assume the position. |
