Africa's First Democrats: Somalia's Aden A. Osman and Abdirazak H. Hussen

[SultanuuFicaan]

By Abdi Ismaciil Samaatar.


"Abdi Ismail Samatar provides a clear and foundational history of Somalia at the dawn of the country s independence when Africa s first democrats appeared. While many African countries were dominated by authoritarian rulers when they entered the postcolonial era and scholars have assumed this as a standard feature of political leadership on the continent Somalia had an authentic democratic leadership. Samatar s political biography of Aden A. Osman and Abdirazak H. Hussen breaks the stereotype of brutal African tyranny. Samatar discusses the framing of democracy in Somalia following the years of control by fascist Italy, the formation of democratic organizations during the political struggle, and the establishment of democratic foundations in the new nation. Even though this early state of affairs did not last, these leaders left behind a strong democratic legacy that may provide a model of good governance for the rest of the continent.""

Somali republic - 1960 - 1969

Somali 'Democratic' (Talk about irony) Republic - 1969-1991 - 1969 coup was a dark chapter in our history

Currently the nation is called 'Federal republic of Somalia'

Meanwhile, afro-centrist booty clappers who have no history of their own (bless) would rather focus on the Abyssinian monarchy.

A nation ran by authoritative, hereditary monarchs who controlled 99% of the population as personal serfs to farm the lands for teff and raise animals so that they can enjoy their injera with raw meat meal.

If a gaala was slacking, the wide-eyed lord will whip them to shape.

If only they knew what the Habesha call them on a daily basis, the Habesha are the biggest fraudsters when it comes to 'Pan Africanism' .

the world picked monarchal pro-imperialists over nationalist anti-imperialists (in terms of culture for example) then they ask why Somalis are racist or distrust people at the least today

That pigmy scammed all AA's, BLM's, pan Africanists who are not well informed by the history of Horn of Africa. It's a shame, really. Abysinnia co-opted, erased & stole indigenous Oromo & neighboring non Abysinnian kingdom history by crafting a 3,00 years old mythology.
