History aficionados come here.

Is this true, bisinka how do they slaughter 800000 Iraqis . It's better to die trying then surrendering, getting raped,pillaged and massacred.

The man ask whether Farmaajo will fight like the egyptians or the Iraqis.

Another guy hits him with not well known Somali history with the Mongols.

Kublai Khan sent another envoy with gifts for the release of a captured emissary.

The Mongol force was vastly outnumbered by the Mamluks (who were not Egyptian in origin) by at least 2 to 1.

I knew they had to be the mamluks, egyptians aren't good fighters.

There's so much history that's missing from us. Imagine if we've written our history.
I think it'd make us too boastful though kkk.

We used to send aid when the arabs were in drought to the whole Gulf. A saudi guy told me about this too.
Look what they're doing to us now

seizing mongol envoys is like asking to get extinct

Brothers and sisters, let us fill with inspiration and nostalgia and not pride and complacency when the names of our forefathers are uttered. We cannot be proud of our glorious past unless we can be sure to emulate it. So say it with me: as an ethnic ambassador of all Somalilands I am going to do the best I can in all I wish as long as my lungs are filled with oxygen! إن شاء الله

We are the present are the future for ummadda soomaaliyeed, do your part.

You're right sxb
Accomplishing nothing and being proud of your ancestors achievements won't take us anywhere. We'll need to achieve like them

Mongols had a poor history at sea.

I mean that's just unlucky. without typhoons, most Japanese would be descended from Gengis today

No one could get to us. Not even Persian king cambyses that nigga lost half his forces in the desert trying to get to us from Egypt. Face it somalis are blessed by God in battle. It's a good thing we were nomads or we would have raised the whole world like our Viking cousin's.

The Mongols weren't really a naval people. If you are overseas like Somalia or Japan the Mongols can't get you, but Iraq they can ride their horde right into Baghdad and kill everybody.
