Again talking like Somali history started with colonization. White Europeans where getting massacred in open war in the north and south of Somali lands some 300-400 years before Habar Awal were attacking unarmed British explorers.It's true we killed lutannant stroyan this was early 1800s. We killed the first white man on somali soil
Forget Somali Lands Adal Sultanate was massacring Portuguese in modern day Eritrea, Ajuuran was Massacring European armies in Mombasa and as far south as Tanzania, Yusuf Gobroon was beheading Arab kings and sultans in Zanzibar.
This is what I call a colonized mind state
Actually the British explorers were armed they had a colony In Aden and were interested to expand in East Africa. The Portuguese were a power to be reckoned with in their height how ever this incident was very significant because of the treaties we signed with the British empire if we didn't we could have felt in the hands of the ambtitous miniliq of Ethiopia. By the way when I say white I mean anglosaxion nordic Germanic . Not Portuguese Spanish Italians or Arabs. Cadaankanu loolana madaw ciiseynmyno
