Has anyone seen any similarities between the history of Japan

[Hales]

Walahi i spotted many, just to note them

 

Piracy - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wokou they used to terrorise the east asian coast just like our folks do in the gulf of aden

 

http://www.chinahistoryforum.com/index.php?/topic/32719-similarity-between-japanese-wokou-and-somali -pirates/?s=277a26bd6cf7e02fcd4f45f36c87c089

The chinese folks discussing the similarities. Theirs was just more brutal.

 

Qabilinism (clan wars)Japan is divided into dozens of clans which had

Division because of clanism - numerous, never ending civil wars

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genpei_War

The clan situation reached an extent where every Samurai clan family controlled their own region and their are dozens of clans in Japan.

 

Countrys history and population genetically and historically linked to China yet fought wars, China being the big fish just like Ethiopia is today, our invasions are justified though.

 

You know where the most eastern country in Africa and the shape and curve is similar to Japans country and our land is suposed to break away like Japans did in a 100 years time.

 

Both countries have few natural recources

 

 

Hope this could be a sign of motivation walahi, if the Japanese could get through it so could we. We just need a unifier or a revolutionary person. Where are the men that are suposed to do this.

I forget about Warlordism as well.

 

"During most of the 16th century, before the Tokugawa era, Japan was tormented by repeated wars among rival warlords (see Sengoku Era). Each warlord had several castles, neighbouring land with peasants and a private army of samurai."

and I thought I was the dreamer LOL ... Geologically speaking the Somali peninsula is moving eastwards at the rate of around 5-7mm a year and this process has been going on over 18 million years. So I highly doubt it will break off in a 100 years time. Once it separates, it will form its own plate, called the Somali Plate.

Does it include the ****** region too, you could say all the regions that dont break off along with Somalia shouldnt be claimed by us.

 

Thats a way we can permanently stay away from that crazy neighbour of ours.

 

***** stands for the area in Western ethiopia which is inhabited by Ethnic Somalis

Somalia is the unbeatable champion of chaotic insanity. It set the standards of insanity so high that I don't think anyone (neighbour or else) will ever beat that. It's pitiful that you seem to be genuinely hopeful of the geological change that may cut Somalia off from the rest of the Horn. Too bad, the geologic time scale is too slow for your wishes. What really needs to be changed is not your neighbours; it's the attitude, the cultures and traditions and the stagnant systems of barbaric justice that put the country in the damned chaos and the sorry xenophobic state in which it finds itself today. When you have peculiar cultures, grotesque traditions and ever so hostile beliefs, then it follows that you are not fit for survival as a society. Waiting for that magical continental drift to pick you up in 100 years and take you to a save place is nothing more than a delusion created in your mind as a result of the societal withdrawal. The Japanese that you have spoken earlier of call it hikikomori; it's that taken to a whole new level (national).

There are countries that beat us in modern times in both length and casualty. Stop with the mindless dribble.

Only couple of tens of thousands got directly killed; most deaths came from famines and you know its only the South that its currently having problem.

 

No one in the Horn likes Ethiopia im guessing even Djibouti with their large Somali population dislike it. If they and Eritrea had their way geopolitically they would probably have the same views.

 

Ethiopia is a neocolonia fake state which by force holds on to its population; Somalis would not have a problem with them if they gave the ****** self determination. But as always its gonna end in war.

[Naxar Nugaaleed]

of all the places in the world i would compare, Japan and Somalia would literally at the bottom of that list.

[Hales]

The culture and people are different but Japan went through an identical situation, having a long and turbulent history gives your people and nation experience and change. Our problem was that we dont have a history of a state and each region and people have not collectively had civil wars in the past, conflict and dissagreements on a large scaele such as United states, France, Iran etc.

 

Some country dont need this type of experience such as Tanzania and Malaysia. But almost every country in Europe and Middle east had it. This experience gives you a glorious future even if it is filled with wars. The more a country goes through the better its future will be.

 

I believe that civil wars and other problems are part of the process.

Have you ever heard of a couple of tuulo oo la dhaho Hiroshima and Nagasaki? :confused: There are ways in which we hope Somalia is nothing like Japan!

[NGONGE]

^^ Calm down, dear. First a Somali will need to explode himself in Pearl Harbour THEN we panic.

@CARA

true, but our current problems make up for it.
