I dont understand why people like you assume us leaving arab league means we cut ties with arab nations? Which is not true, Undoubtedly we will still trade and have political relations with arab nations, but we will be able to safe guard our on interests alot better and not be in a league where the requirement is for us to be culturally Arab , when we are not.
The reason why Somalis joined the arab league is well known and aknowledged. At the height of the cold war, being squashed between USSR + US giants, we were gonna be a member of anyone who would take us! and Arab league took us.
We should look for ways to also establish or join African trade Unions, too bad our membership in the arab league stops us from joining them and the fact the country is unstabile politically and economically suggest that it is not ready for regional trade
