October 21st

Postby Based » Tue Oct 21, 2014 1:47 am

As Somalia lies in ruins, subject to a hundred nations, let us take a few moments to reflect upon this most holy of days and the promise that was once Somaliweyn.

With humility, allow me to quote what I consider to be my most patriotic and heartfelt comment of my brief Somalinet adventure:

"On this most holy of days, on this day of days, we remember and honor the blessed October Revolution that ushered in an unprecedented and so far unmatched era of power, peace, prosperity, and progress. Truly, this era remains the zenith of Somali solidarity and strength, this day forever linked with the memory of a glorious nation, a hegemon whose purpose and strength was determined solely by the immutable ideals of Somalinimo.

Jaalleyaal, let us take a moment to reflect on the splendor and magnificence of the unparalleled epoch ushered in by Kacaankii Barakeysnaa. Let us take a moment to reflect on the courage and sheer brilliance of the small group of men, or rather, heroes, who took it upon themselves to transform a weak and corrupt nation into the preeminent power of the Horn, who fearlessly defined an era, who resisted imperialists and their lackies and instituted a state based on the equitable ideology of hantiwadaag, who defiantly proclaimed the rights of Somalis the world over, who challenged superpowers and refused to compromise on the noble idea that all Somalis must be free to choose their own destinies.

It is my fervent hope that within our own lifetimes, we can be witness to a new Kacaan, a new transformation that raises Somalia from perdition and returns us to our rightful state as the preeminent power not only in the Horn, but in Africa and beyond. The events of the 21st of October and the subsequent state established by our forefathers will always be a reminder of the unlimited potential of Somalis when they abandon the divisive and narrow worldview that has continuously hindered our progress. It is incumbent on us to not only honor the glorious legacy our forebears left us, but to replicate it and refuse to accept anything less than complete and utter supremacy."
----------------- Based 2013

Jaalleeyaal, it is my belief that the Somali nation will emerge from the crucible of war stronger and more united than at any point in our past. Our entire history as a people has been moving towards this singular goal of a Greater Somalia that stretches from the desolate deserts of Djibouti to the plains of Wajiir, from the mountains of Harar to the rocky shores of Cape Guardafui. We must break the chains that bind us to the past if we are to find our common bonds, if we are to move forward in the future, if we are to survive as a free people and enjoy the blessings of the land given to us by the Almighty. Somaliweyn is inevitable, but every Somali must ensure (s)he is on the right side of history to make the inevitable sooner rather than later.

Jaalle Based :som: :up:

To be honest, that is my question as well. ^

Maybe I am interpreting wrong, but all over fb, instagram and other social media, people are posting pics of Siad Barre....I know he had good intentions, but his name alone is almost like a curse. What is there to celebrate? He destroyed us.

Why so biased base but i guess its because you were in the army once upon a time.
October 21st is a hallmark date in the Somali calender i agree however it is also a day that ultimately shouldn't of happened in hindsight. The last 10 years of Jaale Siyaad's hot bed rule was also a mistake.
Nonetheless In spite of what is said, Jaale Siyaads rule was still galaxies beyond the governance structures we have on the horn present now aka xamar city state, Pl, Sl, Jl etc

EvolSyawla: MSB's name is curse in your brainwashed brain only. jalaaludin5 - He was a dictator, that doesn't equate to darood.

Somaliweyn :som:

@Jalaaludin, I'm shocked to see you accuse me of all people of qabyaalad. I rejected the very existence/validity of qabiil years ago, as you well know.

I'm deeply offended.

@evol, I have written about that bizarre cop-out (the Somali its da white manz/colonializm fault) at length and do not wish to discuss it any further. You can find my latest response to this ridiculous argument here viewtopic.php?f=250&t=353814&start=135.

To answer your other question, I unfortunately have to quote myself once again; the 21st of October was the day that a brave few took it upon themselves to "...transform a weak and corrupt nation into the preeminent power of the Horn, who fearlessly defined an era, who resisted imperialists and their lackies and instituted a state based on the equitable ideology of hantiwadaag, who defiantly proclaimed the rights of Somalis the world over, who challenged superpowers and refused to compromise on the noble idea that all Somalis must be free to choose their own destinies." :)

@Elite, funnily enough I was going to add a disclaimer to my first post about trolling, going off topic etc. but then I remember what site I was on. Judging by the similar threads below, some of which I apparently participated in, I can only look forward to the posts that will question my qabiil's nasabness, insinuate that I was somehow a product of booli qaran whatever that means, and further claims that I ( :? ) destroyed Somalia.

That Happy 21st of October thread by KOW was straight lulz tho :lol:

@Starkast, some of the decisions made in the last few years were obviously regrettable, but imho the coup was necessary to take the country back from an increasingly out of touch government. It's a shame the coup of 91 couldn't replicate the results of the coup of 69 and every other coup in the entire history of modern civilization :lol:

STARKAST you fob. Why are you so bent on calling me a qabilist and that I suffer from the disease you are so ready to spread? You just called him a dictator. How does that mean my opinion of him is brainwashed. lol please don't talk to me anymore, I was addressing Based with a serious question.



Based, So what is being celebrated? Siad Barre or the independence movement? Someone (may be misinformed) wrote, long live SB. :?: Anyways, you don't have to answer, I will google and find out what I can. Thank you.

Evol you are right a lot of people see the kacaan and MSN AUN as interchangeable. This is just a legacy of the cult of personality characteristic of the Kacaan. Based with rosy eyes is more of a Kacaanist than a Siyaadist.

Based is so far ahead that he is letting his self from a year ago do all the talking :wow:

Few years ? Jaale Siyaad made many mistakes however i guess some of his advisers/cabinet take some blame for this.
If civilian rule continued as it should when Cabdirashiid (aun) was assassinated i think our country would still be as promising as it was post independence.
The chaos of 91 was orchestrated by the underclass stop directing attention to that dark period, everyones knows the ramifications of that "coup".

I don't mind responding.

What's being celebrated is the birth of the Somali Democratic Republic and its various achievements, including but not limited to the adoption of a Somali script, the mass literacy campaign that introduced the script to every level of society, the banning of tribalism, the promotion of gender equality, the ending of centuries long discrimination against so called minority groups, and the monumental efforts to free Ethiopian/French/Kenyan Somaliland.

Also being celebrated is the spirit of Somalinimo that was ever present during this era, when all Somalis were united and it seemed the Somalis would become the masters of all of Africa, let alone the Horn.

I like to think that it is an important reminder of the potential of the Somali people if given only a few decades of relative peace and prosperity.

@Starkast, as I said, I disagree but nevertheless respect your opinion.

Just a bunch of Marexaans reminiscing for Boli qaran. Nothing else to see here..


Based, why leave out the systematic use of tribalism or the monopolising of power by a single tribe. Why leave out a blood thirsty Dictator without a single ounce of imagination or education who thought the hammer was the solution to everything.

Why must you Kacaanist focus on the few projects made in the early years and who's creators most likely ended up on the wrong side of a barrel. Why do you ignore the word Dictatorship and all the words associated with it, or did you live in democracy? I know it must have felt like one...

" I can only look forward to the posts that will question my qabiil's nasabness, insinuate that I was somehow a product of booli qaran whatever that means, and further claims that I ( :? ) destroyed Somalia."

I seem to remember having a similar conversation with you 3 years ago to this very day. It's like clockwork :lol:
