Somalia got its independence because of the contribution of the Somali youth league it’s 10 year trusteeship would have ended on the 1st July 1960 no matter what nasser’s egypt just paid lip service at the un
You do know Somalia was a UN Trusteeship and it’s independence had to get approved based on the advice of the three supervising countries Philippines, Colombia and Egypt.
The first two made it clear that they will defer their judgement to Egypt and Nasser also made it clear to the UN that Somalia will become independent no matter what.
Nasser sent Kamaluddin Salah, an esteemed diplomat to be his point man in Somalia and to watch the Italians. He got killed after he exposed the Italians plan to extend the trusteeship by 30 years.
Guess who was in charge of the cover up?
A man named Mohamed Siyaad Barre and his sidekick Zoobe.
Half of our schooling system in the 1950s was built by Egypt. Have you ever of Jamal Abdel Nasser schools? They were in almost every city in Somalia.
Say what you want about Egypt laakin they didn’t pay lip service to our independence.
