Jubbaland is My Land

[Shirib]

Shirib, Somalia is a peninsula brah.

No it's not

Shirib...Somalia is not, oil rich Jubbaland is

it's less of a peninsula than Somalia and Somalia is not a Peninsula


Peninsula's are surrounded by water on 3 sides by water and connected to the main land on the 4th side. Italy is a Peninsula, Arabian Peninsula, Iberian Peninsula. Somalia is surrounded by water only on 2 sides, and the rest is connected to the mainland.

Shirib Somalia is peninsula. In the north, the east, and absolute sputh it is covered by water. In fact if Somalia was a box, only the west would border land. Besides that Somalia is a peninsula is something I knew at 6th grade.

Google is right there; basic search Shirib, basic search.

Somalia is not a Peninsula, only two sides are surrounded by water, the rest is land locked. For it to be a Peninsula a third side would have to be broken off from the continent and water would have to be there. It's not a Peninsula. Italy is a Peninsula, Iberia is a Peninsula, Arabia is Peninsula, Somalia is not. You've been misinformed since the 6th grade.

Shirib-

Your geography is sadly lacking. It is 2012 and the advent of the computer age and I can't believe you are arguing with me about basic fact accessible to you right there on the internet. Indo adeeg

Somalia is surrounded on water to the north, the east, and the south. Because of Somalia's nature the entire Horn region is considered a peninsula.

A peninsula is a piece of land that is bordered by water on three sides but connected to mainland.

Cumar, in that same link, under Africa, what else is listed a peninsula?

You guys are too much wallahi; I didn't even think I needed to do this because this is so basic.

Even by normal cartographic observation, you can see it is a peninsula. It's odd shape makes difficult the fact it really only borders land on ONE front, the West, even if the far southwest and northwest make it seem different diverse directions.

Somalia with the Ogaden and Djibouti is together called the Somali peninsula because of the historical cannotation settled by Somalis but really they are merely an extention of Somalia's western borders, they don't add different directions. Somalia really on the south does not border land (the Lower Jubba is not a directional south, it is a directional west), nor does it border on the east, nor does it border on the north.

Therefore, by scientific and geographical agreement, it is a peninsula.
