Somalis are an extremely emotional and unsettled bunch. Low IQ and high emotions can be a toxic mixture.
That thread is so wrong on many levels. I can never justify the starvation of Yemeni children due to the actions of a now defunct and non existent government.
The ignorance is astounding which is why a few things need to be clarified:
1) South Yemen was a Socialist/Communist Soviet proxy state who was at war with their own neighbors i.e North Yemen and were allied with Ethiopia based on political philosophy. They had no interest in establishing ties based on religious/cultural affiliations. They also had limited sovereignty which meant that they themselves were somewhat coerced to join.
2) Many of the leading figures of South Yemeni politics were themselves Somalis due to their historical connection with Aden. Many of the parliamentarians in Aden who voted to support Ethiopia were ethnic Somali Adenis (Isaaq/Warsans/Dhulbahantes).
3) The Ethiopian ambassador to South Yemen was an ethnic Somali politician named Ali Harare (Gadabursi Dir clan) who also became the first leader of Dire Dawa regional state. He was instrumental in gaining South Yemeni support in defending the territorial integrity of Ethiopia. This was an interview with Ali Harare and speaks about the war and his own role:
Having established that Somalis themselves were involved in a war AGAINST their own country, should innocent Somali kids bear responsibility?
Nobody has harmed Somalis more than Somalis themselves. Nobody has killed more Somalis than Somalis themselves. Nobody has deprived Somalis of their rights more than other Somalis. So the real enemy are Somalis themselves.
Even if we implicate the Yemeni government, how does that justify wishing harm on children who aren't politicians nor understand the technicalities that I just mentioned?
Should I be blamed for something that a Somali administration did 40 years ago?
Does Somali Nationalism = Revenge, retribution, anger, malice, hatred, animosity, conflict etc?
f*ck it! Being proud of being Somali doesn't mean I wish death on children. f*ck dat shit right there. Go to Hell.
Why should I care about the death of freaking yemenis? I don't have any ties with them, they hate my kind and i hate them too.
To each their own, they should die as some of ours were dead. It's a part of life.
Move on.
