How come we didn't invade Socotra Islands when Yemen sided with Ethiopia in 77 war?

The Island is closer to Somalia than it is to Yemen. so why didn't we?

Answering your question tho, we simply had bigger fish to fry. We didnt have galbeed, nfd and djibouti in our hands much less socotra. Wink

Our people lack ambitions. Everywhere, our neighbors are trying to do some shit.
We just got Kenya off of our back when they tried to claim our southern seas and not three years later, we got oromo midgaans trying to come for the north.
Where's our ambition? dusty tuulo X baan qabsanay is enough for us.

Give Dhul-Suwayqatayn not an inch of the Sea!
It was leased to the Soviet Union at the time. If Somalia had attacked a Soviet naval base, we’d get Tsar Bombed for sure.

Wasnt it given as a gift to the arabs? oh and also when you mean by cursed you mean the myth that dajaal is there?
Abd El Kuri was ceded to the Mehri Jabarti king by his cousin as a wedding gift, not all of socotra, and it is a cursed island. The Yemenis can have

Somalian nationalists are the most delusional form of nationalists. What does Socotra Island have to do with you? Go invade Southern Somalia and retake lands from Shabaab & African troops (including Ethiopia) 😂😂

my man, we had to focus all of our energy on Ethiopia, we didn't had any extra forces or equipment for this useless island at that time. Beside that, Yemen was stable and powerful region player unlike Ethiopia who was weak and in internal conflicts, beside that our supply of equipment were cut off from USSR.
 
Not ours to take
Neither is Galbeed Ethiopias, or Palestine Yahuud's but they took it.
Nothing is anyone's sxb, plus the Island is closer to us than it is to Yemen.
If you are willing to smoke other Somalis over barren deserts inside Somalia, surely you wouldn't mind getting a world renown Island that's a tourist attraction.
