Who armed them when they fought against the British Colonial empire in East Africa?Voltage, I have seen you use that reference many times but may I ask who armed these somalis - remembering the fact that the majority were poor nomads.


Learn more about Somali history. Here are mercenary Ugandan soldiers being recruited to help destroy Marehan rifles in the early 1900's in the British-Sade War. And you want to talk about the 60's.Voltage, You cannot answer my question with a question, and anyway I don't know too much about somali history pre independence. But I'll ask you again, how can relatively poor nomads arm themselves with rifles when they barely had enough to survive on.
