only strong to treat women like khashogi.
Do you expect a country that kills women like Ikran to fight external enemy?

Lol true. Somalia is not in position to fight anyone and this is just a W to celebrate for a country who has been collecting Ls in 30 years.

Big loss for Somalia. Why is the media reporting this as the opposite? Kenya came out as the victor.

Somalia argued that there was never an agreed boundary between the two countries and asked the ICJ to create one.

Kenya claimed the boundary was agreed to and Somali claimed that if there was to be an agreed border it should be the equidistant line.

In a nutshell, Somalia didn’t lose anything but could have gained more.

its win but not a massive win. we have zero allies and no one to cry for us. if we lose 10-20% and keep the rest its a win.

They lost. They wanted and needed all the oil blocks to pay off china debts. Now they only get barely enough to power a house.

Whilst somalia the enemy has plenty of oil blocks and denied them the satisfaction of stealing from a failed state with sanctions placed on it. This has booseted our morale and dented their ego and confidence.

I'd say we won a lot considering we don't even need those oil blocks.

Alhamdulillah.

Genuine question:

Why do Somalis care about Soqotra? Doesn't it belong to the Mahra?

Yes
All jokes aside it would be a lie to say it was just for geopolitical reasons some somalis just get carried away at times and just say things with the utmost confidence which then encourages the others to start copying one another.

I have never seen a more confident people in my life; every Somali seems to have this aristocratic air about them.

I can only imagine how Somalis would behave if their Nation was as wealthy as a Western State; Geeljires would probably declare themselves Gods.

It is embarrassing.

This is why I don’t like nationalism as it creates an illusion of superiority in a nation that does not exist in reality.

White nationalism, Black nationalism, Arab nationalism, any type needs to be discouraged.

Pastoralists and nomads are almost invariably arrogant, and we see this with Nilotics as well. It needs to be dialled down.

I think classes on the dangers of Nationalism and demagoguery should be mandatory in high school.

I have no problem with patriotism and would actually encourage it; there's a difference between patriotism and Nationalism.

It is from the nomadic culture.

Peninsular Arabians, Central Asians, and Mongols are a bit similar in this.

If Kenya was a predominantly Maasai-Samburu country, they would just go to war with Somalia over this and ignore the ICJ ruling, probably take Kismaayo as well.

I think the civil war increased Somali nationalism.

I think many Somali parents fear about losing their children to the West and as a result placed a more concerted effort in teaching their children about Somalia and patriotism. This over compensated approach has created an echo chamber that turned patriotism into toxic nationalism.

In layman terms, Somalia is the self-conscious kid that is told by his parents that he is special and important to the extent that he grows up to be an arrogant prick.

Yeah, Nilotics are wild.

My people can't read but they have PHDs in wanton violence.

even before the war somalis were xenophobic. sayid mohamed called arabs women and weak when his commanders asked to get help from arabs.
somalis have been racist to each other and foreigners. somalis are so racist we ended racism. you cant be racist if you hate everyone.

We hate ourselves the most.

If you hate everyone and yourself then you don't really hate someone.
