International travelers have written about Somalia over 5000 years before the Christian Era. The early Egyptians called them the "Land of Punt". THey believed that their gods were in the land of punt. Land of Punt means the land with had the great smell because of the myrreh and frankensense. The name Somalia appeared to be first seen in History of 3000 years ago when the Phonecian (known today as Israel) travelers came down the red sea and wrote a lot about the Somalis. they wrote things like "tall, skinny people with beautiful narrow faces. they have camels, cattle and sheep. they are fierce fighters and make good friends as long as you don't offend them. When you offend them is there no friendship and the only thing besides friendship that they now is war". The British called them the "Irish of East AFrica". Later on the Somalis grew up to be an empire under the Leadership of Ahmed Gurey in Zeyla. Ahmed Gurey captured all most all of Ethiopia. Later on the British Empire cooperated with Ethiopian kings to divide Somalia and I have a lot documents that Haile Selassie wrote to the Queen of England. I will send you those at a later date. During the Ogaden war, when the Somali troops overran the Ethiopians in just 48 hours and captured all the way to Diri Dhawa, the Russians, the Cuban and the Yemenis, as you rightly said, came to their help. This is documented and both sided lost heavily but Somalia captured over 90% of Ogaden before the Russians, Cubans and Yemenis intervened. Historically, Somalis used to sell Ethiopian Slaves to the Arabs. This was also reported in the Addis Ababa herald journal or magazine. Today, the black people in the Arabian peninsula are all former Ethiopian slaves sold by Somalis to the Arabs. I believe he is a young men like you who has no idea of what the history of the Horn of Africa is and was in the past. Ethiopia too had great achievement in its history. It is a remarkable nation, however, when it comes to war Ethiopia cannot face a Somali army and because of that they always cry to the Christians to help them. In fact, Haile Selasse used to say that "Ethiopia is a Christian Island in a sea of Muslims". This used to get the emotions of christians who always rushed to help him until they also gave him part of Somalia. That story is still going on today.

salaam ya'll, i'm new in here so don't give me hard time about what i'm about to say...aight? I would say It kinda depends on ur family ur believes and values when it comes to any racial related issues. Over the years, i saw second cousins marry and divorce within several months only cuzz they thought since they were related that they would understand each other or cuzz they were forced into the marriage to begin with. I also saw somali sisers/brothers leading happy life with people from other natiolities, though their skin looks different or they speak different languages in some cases, they do understand each other and they share common goals and that is really what matters;they respect each other. Of course as some of you mentioned, a lot of somalis are judgemental including me, but if you really love that person and serious about them my opinion or anyone else's opinion shouldn't matter to you. Of course the family is another matter, but you could always convince them without that woman or man at your side you would lose ur mind...they will come around in time....like they say...every wound heals with time. I hope i was some help, God bless ya all Q

Mujahid..Good for you brother..you are doing a good deed for the people of palastine and muslims alike ...and that is very admirable.. but My brother you are so fast to jump to the aid of Palastine's plight but did you once stop and think about the plight that is plundering your Hooyoland..Is somali not in Our itinerary... Somali is the horn of africa & we do not have any allies (i wonder why!!!) we have only ourselves to blame and inevitably we have eachother to rely on..It is just that i find it oooooh sooo disturbing how we hop on the Ban Wagon of other countries and venture to fight for their case and we leave our country to its own dimise..more than one occasion i have seen somalis plead the case of palastine and join rally's and other demistrations and what nots. and they seldom remember or care to express how they feel about their countries status...or even make the effort to plead somalia's case Like organizing clothes and food donations or its even a matter of having a strong community who voice their issues based on the well beings of somalia and somalians to their local politicians and parliaments or even constructing a non profitable organization to aid somalia. Instead this aid pours from foriengn counrties who are Kafurs and have their own agenda at mind... Im not saying don't rally for the Pals with all do respect go for it...just remember they have their fellow arab brethern..( like saudi,iraq,jordan,seria,.....etc) but Who do you have?????... so we should all consider our country 's volatile state.. I know many say somalia is a dead country...But keep hope alive.. Because one day we will rise from the ashes like a blazing phonix..because everything in this world is a test and the only way we will pass is with The Good Grace of Allah and patience and love for one another...theres my two cents for the day..wheter you liked it or not and for the brother who said he was willing to chip in financially!!!!! what the hell is contributing a few bills going to help Palistine??? they have saudi arabia the richest oil producing country!! Why don't you invest your money in your community and country and even for youself..!!! think about it palastine is not suffering a famine, or a full blown war!!! so where well your money go???? im just saying! And yes i know the Al QUds is one of the most important sights of islam..But only with the help of Allah and the Oneness of Muslims all over can defeat all enemies..( i repeat the unity of muslims all over can defeat all evil..hey read the quran!! thats one thing arabs and all muslims are lacking...Especially somalians we are scattered all over the world and don't give a flying @#*! about our country and our people!!! :rolleyes: Miss Somalia

I said alittle too much, i'ma just ended here~
