It make me extremely angry that Somalis are not united when it comes to the shisheeye folk, like the example of the Somali cab driver accused by the filthy Nigerian woman as the majority of those were Somali women that sided with the gaal against your wallaho. When a shisheeye ask me if i'm from Somalia/Somaaliland i feel like i want to smash the their face for asking a stupid question like that as Soomaaliya is one country. the end of the day its embassing and sad and it much worser on social media too.
Why are not Soomaaliyeed not united

when the truth was revealed, many somalis emailed that ladyโs workplace. many spread around her linkedin and the companyโs contact details too so they were united then. and for the women who sided with the j^reer in the first place, they were attacked by other somali girls. go on tiktok and youโll see hordes of teenage somalis banding together to argue with non-somalis who post about us. us arguing sometimes doesnโt mean weโre not united. do people really ask if youโre a lander or not? that sounds insane
I feel this question gets asked here every other day. It's getting repetitive. No disrespect but more times than not it comes from hooyo mataalos who never set foot on the Somali peninsula.
Sxb they got lucky the british blessed them. I wish for somalia borders to have mirrored that of the gulf. I cant stand you non daroods.
The shrewd King Abdulaziz ibn Saud likely would have conquered The Trucial States (UAE & Qatar) with ease if it wasn't for the British. Back then the House of Saud generally maintained a smart strategy of not angering the superpower of the day after the collapse of the first Saudi State where the Ottomans damn near annihilated them and brutally executed their leader (then referred to as an "Imam") in Istanbul. The Trucial States belonged to the British, as did Yemen so they were a no-go and Oman was strong in its own right and not worth all the trouble.
Abdulaziz likely would have united all of Arabia otherwise. Though, to be fair, the logistics behind conquering a heavily sedentarized Yemen seemed difficult to him even when his nation had modern artillery and motor vehicles in the 1930s and they quickly pulled out due to not wanting to anger the Italians in the Horn whom the British made clear they would not protect the Saudis from if conflict broke out between the two. However, they did take Najran and Jizan which the Yemenis are still salty about to this day.
King Abdulaziz al Saud had no intention of taking Qatar one of the first places his family took refuge in after their throne in Nejd before settling in Kuwait under Al Sabah family or the small shekidoms modern day UAE as his interest was to restore his family rightful rule in Nejd in which he did after leading 40 men to capture Riyadh and overthrew the Rashids by reclaiming his grandfather throne and from there he got the British eyes who happily supported his campaigns.
King Abdulaziz won the war against the Qassimi imamate state in north Yemen and could have easily annexed the territory as Saudi forces took control of the coastal Tihama region effectively putting northern Yemen in a blockade and the Saudis further advanced to Sana'a ready to capture if the Imam doesn't abdicate but he sewed for peace in which he relinquished his claims to Asir and Najran and Saudi withdrew from Tihama coastal region ending the war with the signing of Ta'if treaty.
You are a well-read man, mashallah. Take the heart with stride, niyahow. But I would interject that a key part of him leaving Yemen was the fact that it earned both the ire of the British and the Italians and the British made it apparent that they would not support him if he remained in Yemen and came into conflict with the Italians. This was not too dissimilar to the fumblings of the Sharifs of Makkah when they continued to piss off the Brits which resulted in the British remaining quiet when Abdulaziz tried his luck with conquering the Hejaz. Abdulaziz didn't seem to want to make the same mistake. No angering superpowers.
Furthermore, I don't think he wouldn't have taken over the Trucial States and Kuwait out of some sense of honor. Abdulaziz was a shrewd and reasonable man who probably would have allowed them their local autonomy and even intermarried with them perhaps but he was also quite ambitious and his family's debt to the Kuwaitis who gave them asylum didn't deter him from taking 2/3rds of Kuwait's land as a concession from the British when they told him he couldn't have lands in southern Iraq.
