The somalis are in the same sort of situation the ancient greek city states were in (except the philosophical and cultural achievements). they too had a powerful enemy meddling in their politics namely persia. the persians played each greek city state against the other thereby dominating them by bribery and khiyaamo. the ethiopians are doing the same to the somalis, using tribal rivalry as a way of putting us down into a cycle of ongoing civil wars. but in the end the greeks were forcibly united under Philip II of Macedon and his son Alexander the great, and they conquered and destoyed the persian empire. can i wonder somalia unite and put an end their meddlesome neighbours? somehow i doubt it.
u guys should read up on that part of history its very interesting.
