Somalis evolved from a state of statelessness to statehood, and back to statelessness again. there has never been a history of a Somali state in the minds of ordinary Somalis before the colonial period. This is a historical fact folks. What have to gain from making this stuff up? Am i not Somali.

Well you tell us, waa adigaan marti iska digayaa dee..lol - Are you Somali?

 

As Blessed said, the Somali Republic was a Somali people's creation - prior to that like many other lands in Africa didnt not have the status of a nation, until the scrabble for Africa by Colonialism.

 

ps. Somalia must have existed in some form, how else does one explain the same language spoken across the Somali -lands - There are countries like Tanzania they had to adopt Kiswahili as the national language because its populations speak more then a hundred different languages.

And there was no Saudia before, the whole country of Saudia was named after one man, the father of the current king: KING SAUD and you have Saudi Arabia.

All you Somalia Republic believers are disproving yourselves. You are right that modern day states are a recent development but you see there is nothing sacred about the Republic. It was desired by the Somali people and it came to be and the Somali people turned against it and it fell within 30 years and for the last 20 years there has been no serious attempt at getting it back and Somalis are attempting other arrangements which may work in the long-term. modern borders can change and there is no attempt to get Bangladesh back to Pakistan or bring back the Soviet Union for example. Modern States are essentially political arrangements and once that arrangements is no longer favored by a majority and not a minority sooner or later it will collapse. Lets be real the majority of Somalis in Somalia have no allegiance or desire to see the Republic back except if it only serves their tribal interests and in the current scenario there is no hope for a tribal dictatorship like there was in 1969-1991.
