Pathetic cop out. The article lists the many CIA activities that has undergone in Somalia, but more importantly the info are CITED.

But since Wikipedia makes you feel salty, is this better?
http://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/2012/02/22/get-the-data-somalias-hidden-war/

Dates of ALL CIA operations in Somalia all the way to the end of 2014. Yeah the CIA are just "sitting around".

A Much better source.

But they've never set foot on somali soil, and are attacking from drones

KidStranglehold:
I actually just meant longest resistant and not which one was the first or did the most damage. From what I read the Ashanti held up against the British for a long time. And mind posting the title of the book you own? I wouldn't mind researching further.

Its called Taarikhdii Daraawiishta iyo Sayid Maxamed Cabdille Xasan (1895-1920)

Dont worry, there's quite a lot of english in it so you'll understand the contents of the book.

The Axum's point was the main one I was addressing. And the CIA in Somalia most certanily does not sit around otherwise they wouldn't be in the country.

Are you serious?

Wikipedia is your source?

I don't think I can ever take you seriously after this

KidStranglehold:
I know what I'm talking about.

Somaliland Campaign
-1900–1920
=20 years of conflict
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somaliland_Campaign

Anglo-Ashanti Wars
1823-1900
=77 years of conflict
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Ashanti_wars

How abouy you get your facts straight. Somalia was just one of the[b] last[/b] states left to resist, not that they were resisting the longest.

You meant the first and the one to do the most damage. I also know what I'm talking about because I have a book on it in my house which I often read.

The conflict started before 1900 as he was fighting with Italia first so it actually started somewhere in the 1800's

KidStranglehold:
Now how does safer parts infer the west were kicked out? There still in the country of Somalia plotting and thus they have not "kicked out" of the country, which is my point. If the influence was gone things like this wouldn't be happening.

Top Somali militant killed in U.S. operation, Pentagon says
http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/05/world/africa/somali-militant-killed/

Countries in Africa like Angola, Zimbabwe and Sudan(I think) have completely rid their country of Western influence. So there's no CIA in "safe parts" of Angola or Zimbabwe.

I didn't say they were kicked out of somalia, that was Axum's point.

The US Army was though. And the CIA just sit around.

KidStranglehold:
That feat technically goes to Ancient Nubia i.e when they defeated Rome. But since you meant "Sub Sahara Africa" specifically that feat actually goes to Mali Empire. Longest colonial resistance in Africa? The Ashanti empire could argue against that.

Also Western forces are still in Somalia. Ever heard of the CIA? So I don't know what you mean "kicking out" the USA, EU and UN?

Nope the longest colonial resistance was in Somalia and against two colonial powers so get your facts right.

Your talking about The longest colonial resistance in [i]West[/i ]Africa

During the Bush Regime, the Habar Gedir kicked the US Army out of Mogadishu,

The CIA operates in the safer parts of Somalia

1. Egypt is Arab in the same way that Equatorial-Guinea is a hispanic country, but they are both African. It just happens that one of them speaks Arabic and has a lot of caucasians of Middle Eastern descent, while the other speaks Spanish and is majority black. This isn't about race, but about representing African cities.

2. Once again, this isn't about who has power anywhere. this is about showing the cities.

3. Yes, the majority of the population of Mauritius is of Indian descent (68%) but this isn't about race. I for one have met several people from Mauritius who were all Indian and I got along well with them and consider them good acquaintances and loved their company. What I also found was that while they considered themselves to be culturally Indian (in the same way, Africans in America consider themselves to be culturally Somali, or Nigerian or Congolese, etc) these friends from Mauritius still considered Africa to be their home. They had lived there their whole lives. This is the same thing I hear from Indians all over Africa, and I've met many from Botswana, South Africa, and Madagascar as well as Mauritius.

4. What is your point about your time spent in Nairobi? You can have a good or bad time anywhere. I've had great times in Johannesburg when I used to live there. I never got robbed inside my house and only got robbed once when my friend was flashing jewelry on the street. Many people I know have been robbed multiple times and sometimes at gunpoint. But I never did and I lived there for 6 years. Let's keep this thread positive. We can turn on the news if we want to see negative views of Africa that badly.

Agreed

Truth hurts right?

Falsehood doesn't hurt but I'm a patient person. I'll let you and your friend instigate this.

gallivant:

I am above your level so I will ignore that comment.
Do not start debates you cannot possibly win

the next time you insult me in that manner prepare to get thrashed.

gallivant:
They are puppets and their leaders are picked in Nairobi and Addis Ababa and you know it.

Since when,

My mum is Issaq, I should know better than you and the elections were recently held in Hargeisa so stfu and your wikipedia sourced info

muafrika:
Good looking,

The shields are traditionally made of hide from a tough skinned mammal. Most bantu tribes mainly used spears for combat,

Are the shields shaped the way they are to cover the body from a side or from the front?

Now I'm gonna follow my own advice and ignore dumb trolls like yourself

Find something more productive to do with your sad life

gallivant:
First off, Somalia does not even exist.It has disingrated into[b] puppet entities[/b] like Somaliland, Puntland snd the recent Kenyan creation of Jubaland.Second, you have failed when foreign army's are roaming your lands, foreign navies supervising your oceans plunder, the UN funding 99pc of your budget and your people wandering the globe.Interesting enough?

They're not puppet entites

Jubbaland is not a Kenyan creation

There are better sources than wikipedia

We learn something new everyday don't we?

Lifes been fantastic alxamdullilah
