Socotra

[bobby_hill-Punt]

we always chose trade over expansion.. forcing ourselves on alien people was never a tradition of ours.

We can do both. There's nothing wrong with people moving to other locations as long as you don't do any harm to the locals, but you can influence with trade and goods.

Its hypocritical to want Socotra and change its demographics whilst also being against Ethiopian ethnic cleansing. Theres no point on forcing somalia on non somali people anyways

Let's say if the rift valley in ethiopia to SA would start splitting apart and a new ocean was created. Now african has gotten divided in to two tectonic plate the Nubian plate and the Somali Plate. Now did you know that Socotra is on the Somali tectonic Plate which is part of Somali Peninsula land mass. Socotra is not on the Arab tectonic plate but on the Somali tectonic plate. Socotra belongs to Somalis and it also been part of Somali Peninsula

If the rift valley split apart like that everyone in east africa would die. Theres no reason for Somali government to even try to seize Socotra when half of the south is controlled by foreign terrorists and nearly a quarter of the country in the north is governed by seperatists

If you don't believe me google which tectonic plate is Socotra on ?



Socotra is located on the Somali Plate, a fragment of the ancient Gondwana supercontinent. It was separated from the Arabian Plate during rifting that formed the Gulf of Aden. [1, 2, 3]
Elaboration: [1, 2, 3]

• Somali Plate: Geologically, Socotra is considered part of the Somali Plate, which is a microplate that originated from the rifting of the African plate. [1, 2]
• Gulf of Aden Formation: The rifting that separated Socotra from the Arabian plate also created the Gulf of Aden. [1, 3]
• Unique Geology: Socotra's geological history includes the Precambrian basement and subsequent Cretaceous-Eocene carbonates. [4]
• Isolated Ecosystem: Due to its long isolation and geological history, Socotra has a unique and highly diverse ecosystem, making it a significant site for conservation. [5, 6]

For my haters on this thread

Nothing is off the table to cause this rift valley to grow. Even if it means some african would lose land. I wouldn't mind of ethiopia and Kenya and Tanzania and etc to SA to get flooded my new ocean

Socotra is our ancestral land. We must be like the Israel people on Socotra. Even if we have to plant communities there it will not be difficult. Once I get to Puntland I will arrange new settlers in Socotra. These new settler must be about 50 families and each year we just add 5 new families. We will incentive these locals in Socotra with items they cant get or even food or lives stock.

No it’s not

 

[bobby_hill-Punt]

No it’s not

What do you mean no it's not ? What evidence do you have?

 

[wonyluvr]

What do you mean no it's not ? What evidence do you have?

The indigenous people

 

[bobby_hill-Punt]

The indigenous people

Somalis are the indigenous people on socotra

 

[wonyluvr]

Somalis are the indigenous people on socotra

No where is your proof

 

[bobby_hill-Punt]

No where is your proof

I gave you my proof already through out this thread. Where's your proof of non indigenous people?

What you said wasn’t proof show me books talking about the indigenous people being Somali

You just want to argue . You trying to get to 20k comments soon huh

No I don’t I just want to see what you’ll come up with

 

[novanova]

Don’t waste your time with him. There is no proof for what he is saying.

 

[bobby_hill-Punt]

So your telling me right now that Somali's never inhabited Socotra island?

 

[wonyluvr]

So your telling me right now that Somali's never inhabited Socotra island?

Stop dodging the question I Said show me anything proving that Somalis are indigenous to that island I never said they never inhabited socotra they probably did but that doesn’t make Somalis indigenous

 

[novanova]

So your telling me right now that Somali's never inhabited Socotra island?

Somalis also inhabit(ed) the swahili coast. Is it ours?

 

[Crook]

if we had a strong military and a stable government I’d definitely do it. I just hate the fact that it narrows our territorial waters.
