Mogadishu Streets in 1966

I have no mouth & I must scream
Italians were very kind colonizers to Reer Mogadishu
What?? The only reason you didn’t see their brutality is because they feared it would cause a rebellion.

After the failures they had in Ethiopia, they didn’t want Somalia to join in.
So don’t mistake weakness with mercy, it was on their best interest to behave

No , Italians were good colonizers because they built Mogadishu up for themselves. At one point there was more than 50,000 white Italians living in Mogadishu alone as its first class citizens.

Italians started experiencing failure long after they had already colonized Somalia and Eritrea I don’t think they were worried about Somalis joining in. That’s why SYL and it’s mastermind the British had to create anti Italian sentiments
 
No doubt the Italians made Mogadishu look aesthetically pleasing:
