Amethyst,
Rest assured, given your ancestry, you would do a better job of bending over and taking it all in from the Colonizers. So no need to outsource your culture to me.

All you have done really is provide some petty yawn-inducing denials and ignorance in a futile attempt to deny the facts. But tough luck for you. It has already been established that the Douglas Collins'
A Tear for Somalia is listed on the Library of Congress as "
his fascinating story of African adventure. Collins spent ten years as a District Commissioner in Somalia. next to leading historical books on Somalia. So no amount of refutations and ignoring the facts will save you here. There is NOT a SINGLE credible source that can call
A Tear for Somalia as a work of fiction and Douglas Collins himself states in the foreword section of the book that it is a "
personal account" So who are you to say that it is a work of fiction? Your denials are hilarious, runti. Besides, why is it so hard to believe that Boqor Osman was using his daughters as political tools when YET ANOTHER Italian source is also stating that he presented his other daughter to Mohamed Abdulle Hassan AKA Mad Mullah only for her to be tortured and sent back? Your deliberately creating a confusion when none exists and that is sadly lame. But it won't succeed with me.
As for the authenticity of my sources, well unlike some people here, I am actually presenting one source after another complete with links and highlighting, if you refuse to believe them, that is your problem, buddy. Not mine. Despite all your denials, you still are yet to refute that:
1) Amiina Boqor Osman was used by her father as a prostitute to achieve certain political ends
2) That Boqor Osman presented his other daughter to Mohamed Abdulle Hassan as a gift only for her to be tortured and sent back
3) Douglas Collins spent 10 years in Somalia as a British District Commissioner as stated by Douglas Collins in his book
4) Yet to refute that quote I posted next to the Majerteen carrying the Colonial office as being false.
With regards to the Bender Kassim picture, let's for a second pretend it is photoshopped, how do you justify this statement?
Just yet, we are approached by a dau (small elder) of Sultan Mahmud Osman, and through his nacttda know that the sultan was not Allula, but finds the town of vessels Bared, where soon we sent a message to warn of our arrival.
On that day at the beach with the sea waves broke loose and soft, but very large, so much so, despite repeated attempts, we were able to board the boat to go ashore without plunging into the water. But I did not I noticed that more time, I undressed and gained the shore by swimming, where I had a really 'reception ultra friendly, very affectionate, a crowd of people waiting for me on the beach, happy to see me get to their primitive way , to find many friends and know that you had left
If your people were coming out in droves to welcome the Italian Colonizers at their shores, why is it hard to believe that they would lift them up and carry them around?
If your entire tactic is disregarding whatever you have no answer for, then thats also your problem. I am posting these facts so people can see through the mythology being pushed by some. Whether you agree or not is futile, really. Let the other readers examine and draw their own conclusions. No need to push your opinions down our throats
