ENGLISH V's ITALIANS!!

[GENERAL_SNM]

Who was a better in Somalia? I'm asking this question because certain people have this nostalgic view of the Italians as some sort of positive period in somali history. At the same time these same people will argue that the British were some negative influence in somalia. My question is when in history have the Italians ever been good for the black man, because thats what somalis, especially southerners are to Italians. Also if they were so good to somalis, why have they suddenly changed and not allow mosques or any of you southerners to settle their. To cut a long story short I find it very difficult even with all the outlandish thinks that are claimed on Snet to believe this mythical fact that is repeated by most southerners to be true. THE FASCIST ITALIANS WERE NEVER GHOOD FOR SOMALIS, and if they built you a few roads and a few plantations it was so they could make life a little tolerant for their new slaves. Because thats what you would have been to a Fascist a slave.

The point is they might have been better for the land, but I dont buy an Italian fascist was better for somalis. Your judging the occupiers for what they did for the land not the people. The Italians would have built mansions and beautiful roads no doubt and turned Xammer into another Rome, but you would have been the worst slaves that ever lived. They would have made King leopard in the Congo, seem like a black power activist.

One thing we can all agree on is they were all better then the current Ethioipian occupation.

Excutive why you hating on the British, they gave you a council home and a passport. Forget about the thousands of your ancestors they killed in the past. Just get yourself an English chick and get your revenge. It sooths the soul.

Why did Swedish and Dutch Somalis move to the UK in large numbers? Nothing wrong with those economies right? actually they even score better in Human Development Index than the UK, what was their reason?

[abdi ilyas]

the lows think Englishmen did is make half of your people in 2 xabashe slaves. or have you forgetten that jigjiga belong to Ethiopia?

I think the colonials were worse than the Ethiopian occupation. The damage the colonials have done to Somalia and Somalis is still being felt until today. For example, many Somalis were taught qabyaaladnimo, secularism, collaboration with and the liking of cadaans by the colonials.

Many reason.....Mainly Social Tourism , Education, Job opportunities, Family relations , Religious reasons (finding a dugsi or halal food can be difficult in Sweden),
