Saudi's & UAE's attempt to gain control over Socotra

F*ck Your Feelings
The only thing that looks decent is that Saudi school. Apart from that they're no different to Somalia with their run down crappy buildings, cheap roads and trash/rocks everywhere.

Before you know it, they will extract the hydrocarbon reserves off the coast and around the Somali waters. The Saudis N Emiratis know what they're doing

Farmaggio has Saudi Arabia and UAE satellite yahuuds creeping at his doorstep. A real leader wouldn't allow this.

Somalia doesn’t have any real leaders and it’s a shame. For one of the most homogeneous nations in Africa, we are an embarrassment.

There are a mix of Yemenis, Egyptians and Somalis living on Socotra

No.

They are Mahra Arabians from the Yemen/Oman border. The majority of them are only this origin. Mahras tend to be darkest skinned Arabs.

And they have some who descend from Swahili slaves (slave trade between Zanzibar and the Persian Gulf had pitstops at Socotra to replenish ships).

Somali or Indian blood (which many people claim they have) is nonexistent in the vast majority of them.

It depends. If you’re talking about native Mehri in Socotra, Yemen and Oman (although the one’s in Oman may have mixed with the Harti settlers) than I agree. They live in Somalia and exist as Carab Saalax and mixed with the locals.

Somalis who settled in Arabia mostly outbred themselves and became more Arabian over time while not giving much Somali blood to Yemenis or Omanis. It was mostly Harti Faraxs marrying local Arab women and then the children from those unions mixing with each other and forming a Somali tribe in Arabia.

It is extremely rare for a Yemeni or Omani to score more than 1% Somali on 23andMe. Many of them have done those tests, check out subreddit /r/23andMe.

This is bad news, the Socratis had always been remote a society that remained isolated for centuries.
The Somalis should fix their damn problems they can't secure a section in the capital what convinced these people to believe such illogical concepts have your house in order first and stop embarrassing yourselves the comment section are filled with stupid characters.

Yes. The Island is 200 nautical miles away from Ra's Haafun. Blame the British for ceding the island to Yemen.
If you look at the demographics only 30% are nativr Mahra the Socratis the vast majority are immigrants from Southern Yemen that have settled in the past 50 years.

The GCC have intentions to expand their influences on the island and it's inevitable that over time the Island falls under their possessions similar to a trusteeship. Remember Yemen is fractured and lawless ten times than our country. So yes they are vulnerable to Gulf predators.
And that poses a geopolitical threat for Somalis.
I believe this isn't the first time the Emiratis had their foothold in HOA , Berbera port in Somaliland, before Djibouti curbed their influences when the pot bellied politicians were once under their paytolls ,
Or when the desert lizards aided and assisted Eritrea and used their army to fight the war in Yemen and most recently the supplies of drones to Ethiopia.
Does that ring any bells.
Ofcourse this isn't the first time these shady monarchs have ever made.
I believe they were somewhat involved in the Soobe Qarax and to prove that just look where NISA had got their funds.

Somalis have nothing to do with the people of Socotra apart from a few clans in Puntland (Harti and Carab Saalax). The Mehri people of Socotra want nothing to do with Somalis and don’t want to be apart of Somalia. They only want relations with tribes related to them and have a family history with.

Socotra are their own people called "mehri" .

The mehri tribe is scattered around Oman,Yemen,Somalia & Saudi Arabia.

However socotra is closer to Somalia than Yemen & because of its strategic position its of great interest for the surrounding countries.
