Even the Somaliland tribe originated from a larger tribe that still has subtribes all over the Arabian Peninsula. This is their official forum with Landers also present. http://www.alas7ag.com/vb/ Somalis are ready to fight and die over tribe but they don't even know where they're from. It's sad.

Yemen? This is just clan propoganda spread by the HAG in South saying we descending from slaves (Akhdam) in Yemen. Our lineage is noble just as any other tribe in Somalia. But some people fear that they will be made to feel inferior so they create stories about other tribes like with the Midg@n. Problem is most documents were in Arabic and are not available in English. If you do know Arabic this is the official forum for the Aqeeli tribes. So everyone that descended from Aqeel, you have KSA, Yemen and Oman, and oops guess what. D-Block has it's own section. http://alaqeeliuon.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=74 Or are the Arabs also lying?

How is it an identity crisis when they have their tribe as their last name? UK is a a different story, you have a black Muslim man settling in an cadaan area. Here its a Muslim area with many different ethnic groups like the Mahris etc. They started speaking Arabic and lost Somali. Worst is this is coming from people that call themselves ethnic Somalilanders. The queens orphans.

We have one for Hargeisa and we have one for charity-built hospitals in Xamar. This is the Djibouti photo thread.

I don't understand how Somalis can call Erdogan a fool, he's turning Turkey into a super power with a conscience something lacking in the rich Arab countries. It's a war on Islam. It says he's the one that brought back the Hijab to Turkey.

Xamar in 2013? I think about 50% Somali 40% Bantu and 10% others. I get this from watching videos and news reports from Xamar.

This is crazy. How come I didn't know this before. I found some members from the group. If you want to talk to them: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002707995504&ref=ts&fref=ts http://www.facebook.com/mhmoodasmel http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100004167335964&hc_location=stream As is custom in Carab countries they have the name of the tribe as their last name.

Somalis or the Bantu somalis. From Wikipedia: Tradition and old records assert that southern Somalia, including the Mogadishu area, was historically inhabited by hunter-gatherers of Bushman physical stock. These were later joined by Cushitic agro-pastoralists, who would go on to establish local aristocracies.[4][5] Starting in the late 9th or 10th centuries, Arab and Persian traders also began to settle in the region.[6]

Problem is Somalis think they live in a perfect world where they can get anything they put their mind on. Won't happen. Sometimes you have to sacrifice some stuff.

****** idea. Who's going to fund a airport like that in Baladweyn when people can't even finance better airports in Capitals like Hargeisa, Garowe and Xamar.

We all know people that try to deny it and blame it on on Siyad Barre are the same ones (i.e. same group) as the ones that destroyed the capital. Not leaving a single house/hospital or masjid in safety.

The only thing I can see happening is a president coming from Reer Xamar or one of the other minorities. Play it smart like Shabab, they knew the conflicts in Kismayo and that area so what do they do? They get someone from Zaylac. True, both tribes got pissed off but it was a strategic move.

We had a navy, army, nobody could F with us unlike now. Even Sierra Leone is in Somalia! Arab countries were inviting and encouraging us to join their League instead of now, Hassan going from country to country begging for money. Let's be honest. What destroyed Somalia was that the people that got rid of the government turned into savages that turned against their own cousins and destroyed the city they hail from. They were destroying it like it was Addis Abeba or Tel Aviv. Compare that to Somaliland. They said this is our city, we won't destroy it, we'll rebuild it. That's the difference and that's what put us in this mess.

Exactly, we need a man like him.

Somalia needs Bashar, Gaddafi and Saddam combined. This President going everywhere with a big smile. Nobody takes him serious. You need to be just, yes. But don't make yourself a clown. I can go to Mogadishu now and declare my own country next to his house and there's nothing he can do about it. We need to tell the Arabs not to kill Bashar like they did with Gaddafi we need to import all the fallen leaders.

^ True. The political scene is very complex but 3ilmanis I mean the Euro-butt kissers (that for some reason pretend to be anti-US when it benefits them like with Assad). There are also many nationalists that are on the islamists side, attacking gay/kissing parades, burning Israeli flags etc.

Guzel;957894 wrote: Turkey is a secular country and the 3ilmanis are Turks, not foreigners imposing a foreign law. Protests happen in Taksim area almost every day about all types of issues, Erdogan managed to turn a small protest into anti government riot. I support him on most issues especially his stance on alcohol but he got this wrong. The 3ilmanis are the elite, the ones that bleach their hair and wear blue contact lenses so that they can look European. But they are an minority with the majority being on Erdogan's side. But the problem is the media is controlled by these secular movements. Turkey was about to become a super power if it continued in it's path but, Congrats US/Europe they took out another Islamic power. Who's next.

All that for some trees? It's not even with how the police reacted, the police didn't kill anyone or torture anyone. They used tear gas and battons that's it. It's a secular uprising.

God damn 3ilmanis, don't they get that it's a Muslim country. It's like thousands of Muslims going through the streets of London demanding Shariah law. It doesn't make sense!

This has F all to do with trees in the middle of Istanbul. This is much bigger, I won't be be surprised if the police commander turns out to be Alevi himself. This feels planned.

These people will burn the country just to blame Erdogan. They want Turkey to go back to the country that was sucking up to be Europeans and banning the Hijab in schools.

Dhofar was always different from Oman. Oman was mostly of Arabian descent and follow Ibadhi sect of Islam while the DHofarian speak many different languages (even though those disappeared) and are all Sunnis.
