Dear god, I know
But it is ultimately necessary. Evil can sometimes beget good.
I'm talking about the propaganda, not the war itself which had more to do with shifting cold war alliances than anything we could really control. It is a prime example of the unifying effect of hatred, one I hope to exploit again in the future.
Absolutely bullshit.
I've heard stories of little kids throwing stones at the few Bantus they came across. I dont know about the deep south, but I'm sure farmers always want more lebensraum.
Kids did throw stones at Hijabis they called "Ikhwan muslimiin" back in those days regardless of whether the covered female was Somali bantu or faradheer(typical nomad). Kids throw rocks for whatever reason they find fun or entertaining. I did my share of throwing rocks when I was a kid cause I liked neighbors to come out and chase me along with my friends fresh out of school. It was fun to get the old cranky neighbor insult us and chase us for a mile or two while he screamed.
Bantus are part of Somali society and Somalis who neighbor them and live among them accept them as such. Bantus keep to themselves and some of them would not even marry a non-bantu Somali. They are proud citizens of Somalia. Law and order broke down and some Somalis acted on their animal instincts doesn't mean facts about the country changed.
