Racial diversity is not a strength. It is a grinding, permanent source of conflict and tension, not just in Somalia but everywhere in the world where there is racial diversity.
Racial diversity means the presence of more than one race. So let’s imagine, just for a moment, how the history of Somalia would have been different without the racial diversity that resulted from bringing Bantus here and Cadaans coming here. What would Somalia's history be like with no Bantus and Cadaans? There would never have been slavery. There would never have been the Somali-Portugues war, there would have never been a need for the Dervish and their rebellions.
And it makes no difference if you want to put 100 percent of the blame on Somalis, Bantus or Cadaans. The fact remains that the historical balance sheet for somali/bantu/Cadaans racial diversity in the Somalia is hugely, crushingly negative. If you remove Somali/Bantu/Cadaans racial diversity, you remove slavery, our most deadly war, and our most murderous civil disturbances. The very worst parts of our history vanish. How can something that brought about all that horror be a good thing?
What about religious diversity? How many times have we been in a war with the Abyssinian/Christians in the Ogaden region?
