Was Somalia better off under colonial rule?

[Grigori Rasputin]

In 1960, Jun 26-July 1st, Somalia gain independence.

One could say Somalia was better off not being independent.

It was a mistake to release us to the world. The Europeans should’ve known that we knew nothing about nationhood. We were and are warring tribes. We were and are ignorant, prideful and ready to shed bled on the drop of a hat based on hearsay.

@diaby has a great descriptor for us, the nation of 68 iq

I reiterate once again that we should never have gained independence. Never

@R.Kelly happy independence day adeer!

Independence was the dream of the forefathers poorly executed.

Next year in Ogaden, Amin.

Good question @R.Kelly

Anything in the past is better than the current situation back home. How painful that is to admit.

I have to disagree sxb, you’re assuming Italy and Britain had our best interests at heart. On the eve of Independence after around 71 years of colonialism we had only 4 people with a university degree ( mass illiteracy), undeveloped economy, no experienced political class ready to take the helms of power unlike other African countries , and unsolved border disputes. Colonialism was never meant to be a tutelage system. In my opinion we would have been worse off today if we were still under colonialism.

Were we better off with MSB should’ve been better question

Depends on who you ask. Daroods, sure. Hawiye, 50-50. Isaaqs. Nah.

 

[Yukon_Niner]

Siad Barre saw the peak of Somalia, colonial Somalia was by far a bigger shit hole than contemporary Somalia.

Let’s ask @Grigori Rasputin wouldn't you rather be ruled by your own kind than the Italians? I’m sure MSB wouldn’t have made you into a slave at least.

this, why do people believe colonialism is some kind of tutelage system? siad barre qaudrubled the literacy rate in decade compared to half a century of itailian rule.
"b-but infastruction" most of it was meant for colonialist until they couldn't afford to maintain there empire.

 

[Ayubi]

This thread is garbage and OP is a stupid cuck with no self respect. No, Somalia was not better under colonialism. It was much better under the democratic system from 1960-1969. I'd rather have Somalia be the poorest country on earth than it to be ruled by a foreign gaal.

I stated my argument precisely
