[quote="Somali2003"][quote="Cilmiile"][quote="Somali2003"]Don't you see Wareer's post. During the Wal Wal incidence in which the Somali dominated Italian army faught against the expansion of Abyssinia, he sided with Ethiopia.
Although Italy was a colonial power, it was helping us contain the expansion of Abyssinia. Italy supported also the Greater Somalia policy[/quote]
Less than a decade after the destruction of the Majeerteen Kingdom of Cali Yuusuf in which Cumar Samatar was a leading General, did you really expect him to be friendly with Italians just because they, the Italians, were at war with Ethiopia. Would you as a Hypothetical Warsangeli General of 1920s have fought alongside the British a few years after they destroyed your kingdom and exiled your King to Seycheless?[/quote]
Cilmile, whatever this commander did was personal because Italy put a price on his head for the commission of murder. Lest that you assume that I am targeting him based on his clan, I am not but I see this man's history as an exception. Itally dissolved the kingdom of his uncle but we entered a decisive period of state formation. Italy was in fact rebuilding the South unlike the negligent Britain and was helping us contain the expansionists and their conspirators, Britain.
Still, his revolt against the colony was one that was based on personal and clan interest, not the general interest of our country.[/quote]

You must have been reading Cabdulqaadir Oromo. Italy was building Somalia so that she could stay there forever. The more the Whites invested in an African country the harder it was to evict them. England relinquished its hold on Kenya and Zambia longer than other less useful places like Somalia precisely because of their Economic advantages. Portugal could not be shifted despite all of Africa and the communist world bearing down on them. South Africa and Rhodesia you know the History. Algeria, a million had to perish before they gained freedom.
Thank God that the fascists lost the second war because if they didnt All of Somalia would one big corrupt Italian Missioni filled cesspool. Err, actually we are not that better off today but at least we can point to a few years of Glory.
