No wonder the BNP support is rising. This guys runs for Great Britain yet waves the flag of another country. What has Somliland done for him, that GB hasn't. i would be mad if i was a white british
I agree with you. It seems that the poor kid has been brainwashed by desperate attention seekers.I think it is disgraceful he paraded a foreign flag let alone a foreign unrecognized ethnic flag when he should have given credit to the flag that raised him, educated him, he represents in the competition, and made it possible for him to be where he is at.
Top man we need a lot more like him to correct people's opinion about somalis.
For someone whose history of the Somali peninsula starts in 1887 you still have much to learn!I think with here there is an irony. Northern Somalia was colonized by the British, who started the usage of clanship in Somalia by divide and conquer tactic in 1887. 123 years later one of the victims of their colonization wins the first ever medal for the country whom used the first advanced airspace in Africa, to kill his people. Damn, life is strange.

Do you really think it was only the White European colonials who used divide and rule tactics? Before the white European, the Somali peninsula was colonised by different local and regional empires - Ottoman Empire, Sultanate of Oman and the Ethiopian Empire.Did the truth offend you?For someone whose history of the Somali peninsula starts in 1887 you still have much to learn!I think with here there is an irony.

That is when the British first came to Somalia, and the start of colonization; thus the beginning of Somali historical relevance. Before than Somalis used to work by clanship and then clanship wasn't used or abused by people to get their agendas through. It was the British, French and Italians who implanted the seed that runs through the blood of Somalis today.
First and foremost, the Ottoman Empire was not an occupying force or in any case instrumental in bringing forth the divide and conquer tactics to Somalia. In actuality, the Ottoman Empire was more of a friend to the Somali people, primarily in the time of Ahmed Gurey.
Abyssinia of course was a different story, but they never got their claws into Somalis, as the story of the Dervish would be a perfect example.
History is long and drawn out the fact is you seem to bend and twist history to your own likely to justify why your clan region should be separate and most of the arguments spoken about the need for indepdence is the famous line of "we were independent from Somalia for 5 days, and we joined with them, but we are different"
If someone outside spoke the way y'all do I swear to GOD they'd bring out the straitjacket.
