    Why Yemen is Dying & Oman is Booming: The Economic dichotomy between two related neighbors.

    Yemen had a volatile modern political history while Oman had pretty tame king dynasties that only dealt with each other on minor grounds. The Omani royalty under conflict for power would mostly contain things within family feuds that did not spread to the general public, seen with the previous...

    BRUTAL: Somalia has the lowest HDI on the planet

    If the quality of life were decent for self-perceived life satisfaction, without proper functioning institutions, HDI would be registered as low regardless. These indexes serve a practical purpose but set biases for a narrow developmental chain that says anything beyond that pathway is misery...

    Somalia Lactose tolerance

    I've read the limited literature on Somali LP. It's around 24%. The difference was that although they recognized Somalis that barely 1/4 had the specific alleles for consuming milk, the actual milk consumption without adverse problems was 3/4 - around 71% (drank a cup of milk a day). They...

    Somalis with Christian names

    The Islamic name is Yahya. John is a shortened version of what the Hebrews used to refer to as, Yohanan (originally the h here was ح). Through Latinization it became Ioannes. Then it became Iohannes, then the i turned into a j, thus Johannes with the Anglo-Saxons. Later they dropped pronouncing...

    HUGE BREAKING NEWS! NETANYAHU SAYS HE'S SET A DATE FOR THE INVASION OF RAFAH! CEASEFIRE NEGOTIATIONS IN CAIRO HAVE FAILED!

    They want to set pressures on that region to force a depopulation, pushing Palestinians toward Sinai.

    🤔Suspicious Activity going on in Iran's Airspace, Possible Missile Launch towards Israel?

    "...within a designated area of Iranian airspace." I guess this is a domestic test of rockets. Otherwise, I would expect NOTAM to schedule a broader area of flight warning if rockets are launching for Israel.

    Ben Shapiro has lost his marbles

    If it is contingent on policy changes, fulfilling those conditions would be the requirement. What a big child. Every aid the West gives to any country has been to manipulate domestic policies. Israel will not get pressured to do anything. Biden has informed Netanyahu that he will...

    Johnny Somali claims to be related to ex Puntland General.

    Not going to cap, there is some resemblance. @Reformed J hahaha Did he say, "I am khanis and everything. Y'all have to get used to it"? You're a next-level scum when you say you love making your mother cry. Have you ever seen a guy trying so hard to reach for the next low? It's when you gave...

    Somalida Minnesota iyo Calamadooda

    Don't give White lunatics an excuse to go crazy. Please don't make a thread named "Somalification" of any Western city. People are irrational with the immigrant thing these days. It feeds the internet with bad algorithms with Somalis in the West.

    Sneako is learning. Give him time. You would be surprised how many people hold wild views that they kept in their heads. I bet most of you have an idea that would make us lean back and say, "Whaaaat... word?":ftw9nwa:

    Why do only white people have hobbies

    White people film obscure hobbies and it comes down to how in general certain economic privileges gives them time to make videos about it. Hobbies are just interests. Everyone has interests to some degree. Most people enjoy sports, that's a hobby. All hobby do not have to look like this: I'm...

    🤣Reuters reports Iranian officials saying response over Damascus strike will be 'limited and aimed at deterrence'.

    Israel would never send any missiles if it had no backing from the US + West. It is a country that deals with very conservative safety measures. All the bombardments and assassinations are within its safe zone extended by the guaranteed protection of the US. Israel is not interested in war with...
