This should be the map of current Somalia, what do you think?

[JamalFarah]

Do these lines have anything to do with Qabil per chance or are they state boarders bases on other things?

They were made to make every region about the same size in population.

Not true, under the British there were 5 and then 6 principal districts which formed British Somaliland.

Hargeisa
Berbera
Borama
Burao (later carved into Burao and Las Anod)
Erigavo

On June 26th 1960, these 6 principal districts became the regions.

I am familiar with the districts, which came under the two regions. You will agree if you reference history books at the British library.

At one point, Togdheer, Sanaag & Sool were known as Norther region, later rebranded North Eastern.

Moving along.

1960s
Two regions in the north .North west and north east with their districts.

And that was derived from the colonial legacy, as indicative of the names. Explains the reason the new Administration in Sool, Sanaag & Togdheer is now named North East. You finish the rest.

Postscript;
Keenadiid's book is a good reference. So is A/risaq H Hussien's (1954 onwards).

We should revert to the 8 regions model

This map is factually and historically wrong in so many places.

Show me the source. There has never been two regions in British Somaliland. They were always districts (today's regions), 5 in total.

Hargeisa never was a regional capital of Berbera, let alone Borama.

Only when Somalia became an independent country did they lump Hargeisa, Berbera and Borama in WG.

Show me where this is a recognised document from British Somaliland? It's not even in English. It's as much evidence as me showing a Somali document about a country in Europe.

These were the regional adminstrative centres in British Somaliland:

Stop trolling

Maybe you should read your own sources:

Figure 1. Geographic and adminstrative regions of the Somali Republic

Show me one map of British Somaliland with this administrative set up.

Just one

I’m an Isaaq. I know this vision is not supported by my people (for controversial reasons). I have a Somaliand flag at my own house (my family are the biggest Somaliand supporters out there). I always talk about the greater Somalia idea. As much this is a dream than a reality. We’ve could’ve accomplished greater things with this idea.

One race, one religion, one language and one culture. And yet divided. WTF Somalia.

Nice, are u the Somalilander from Canada, I forgot his name but we started to follow each other on Twitter and he was in our Eritrean Somali group chat. But he seems not active on Twitter anymore
