Small notes for the nomads about the great wars and HoA.

1. All Somalis except Djibouti and today's Puntland were part of the Second World War.
Those in Puntland and Djibouti had agreements with the big powers in their territories not to make them fight in other lands.

2. Salamanders were the highest level of self command of any people in Africa that were in either side. Example: in the Campaign to liberate what is now Eritrea, Somalilander commander had higher status on the campaign between Kassala Sudan and Asmara Eritrea. Even though the Sudanese were more in number than Somalilanders, but the Somalilanders are not colonial army. This mattered for the British. Somalianders were only lower than Australians and South Africans.

3. If it wasn't that Africans have no self respect, Eritreans if they remember the war should be thankful of Somalilanders. The Sudanese were blamed for the religious conflict that arose in Eritrea, never the Somalis.
The Somalis are never blamed for any abuses (even the common ones in wars) while others are.

4. Those who were on Italian side were undisciplined, abusive in both Somalia and Ethiopia.

5. Somalis never joined the Foreign Legion from Djibouti like other Africans did, nor did they Join the Italians outside HoA, like Eritreans did in Libya and Somalia.

Somalis can celebrate end of WWII even though most of the fighting by Somalis on any side was done as Europe was starting latest was early 1942.

OO, little correction here.

I know you have soft spot for Djibouti, yet they did took part in the second world war.I even know family members whom the French took to North Africa to fight the Nazis. They were collecting good pension in AWdal.

That is for Somalis to honour. Cadaanka obviously wouldn't honour their enemies.
