Originally posted by Ali_BaBa: 1st of July 1960, The day The Republic of Somalia was born, The day our brothers from the north came to us and proposed to unit with us. The day the blue flag with the white star was born, The day Somalia started to be ruled by Somalis, No more white man, no more slavery, no more colonisation, no more impirials in our soil. But this is also the day our moral decline started, an ugly form of tribelism was born, a power strugle and power hunger,Agressive form of Nepotism, favouritism, Cousinism, Corruption, Was also born that day, It was a timed bomb, it was ticking for 30 years,5 morths and 25 days Until ...BOOM.... it EXPLODED in Our faces in December 1990. So 1st of July 1960 is it a day to celeprate and dance, or is it a dark day in our history which we should mourn and feel regret.???? Yes indeed it was a sad day..... for residents of European and N. American countries because on that day our ****** govenrments opened the doors to REfugees without consulting with the people in the form of a referendun as to whether we wanted refugees or africans or even worse Muzzies. Now our tax mony is going to welfare receiving refugees who want us to make changes to accomodate THEM.
