Hydrogen I'm quite sure from your constant obsession with men and how they look you are a female. But, if that small fraction of chance goes against what any rational male can see and you turn out to be a male. Don't worry, this is 2013 and with a help of a doctor you can have the two holes you've always wished that's incar you've not got one already..
I'm pretty sure you're the one who comments on how South Somali men look... stop sexualising this

Yeah, this back and forth doesn't really solve anything. What certain folks here should instead be asking themselves is why they want to go back to how things were immediately after the colonial period rather than before it?

The fact is, British Somaliland was never a British colony. It was a protectorate. This means that it was never legally Britain's right to “grant independence” to the territory in the first place.

As a matter of fact, the protection treaty that the Warsangali Sultanate signed with Britain in 1887 explicitly refers to the Sultanate's domain as a country in its own right. In exchange for protection, the agreement stipulates that the Sultanate would agree to assist the British where necessary in areas under its jurisdiction. The Sultanate would also agree to stop all slave trading activity:
TREATIES, &c., between the Warsangalis (BritishProtection; Slave Trade; Wrecks: &c.). - January 27,1886

THE British Government and the Elders of theWarsangali tribe who have signed this Agreement beingdesirous of maintaining and strengthening therelations of peace and friendship existing betweenthem;

The British Government have named and appointedMajor Frederick Mercer Hunter, C.S.I., Political Agentand Consul for the Somali Coast, to conclude a Treatyfor this purpose.

The said Major F. M. Hunter, C.S.I., PoliticalAgent and Consul for the Somali Coast, and the saidElders of the Warsangali, have agreed upon andconcluded the following articles:-

ART. I. The British government, in compliance with the wish of the undersigned Elders of the Warsangali, undertakes to extend to them and to the territories under their authorities and jurisdiction the graciousfavour and protection of Her Majesty theQueen-Empress.

II. The said Elders of the Warsangali agree and promise to refrain from entering into any correspondence, Agreement, or Treaty with any foreignnation or Power, except with the knowledge andsanction of Her Majesty's Government.

III. The Warsnagali are bound to render assistance toany vessel, whether British or belonging to any othernation, that may be wrecked on the shores under theirjurisdiction and control , and to protect the crew,passengers, and cargo of such vessels, giving speedyintimation to the Resident at Aden of thecircumstances; for which act of friendship andgood-will a suitable reward will be given by theBritish Government.

IV. The Traffic in slaves throughout the territoriesof the Warsangali shall cease for ever, and theCommander of any of Her Majesty's vessels, or anyother British officer duly authorized, shall have thepower of requiring the surrender of any slave, and ofsupporting the demand by force of arms by land andsea.

V. The British Government shall have the power toappoint an Agent or Agents to reside in theterritories of the Warsangali, and every such Agentshall be treated with respect and consideration, andbe entitled to have for this protection such guard asthe British Government deem sufficient.

VI. The Warsangali hereby engage to assist all Britishofficers in the execution of such duties as may beassigned to them, and further to act upon their advicein matters relating to the administration of justice,the development of the resources of the country, theinterests of commerce, or in any other matter inrelation to peace , order, and good government, andthe general progress of civilization.

VII. This Treaty to come into operation from the 27thday of January, 1886, on which date it was signed atBunder Gori by the Undermentioned.

F. M. Hunter

Witness:J. H. Raintier, Commander, R. N.

Muhammad Mahmud Ali, Gerad of all the Warsangali.
Jama Mahmud, Gerad
Muhammad Ibrahim, ditto.

Here's Sultan Mohamoud Ali Shire being presented with a medal by a young Queen Elizabeth II:

The British eventually exiled the Sultan to the Seychelles when he ignored their request to allow their troops to enter his domain in order to pursue Sayyid Muhammad Abdullah Hassan's Dervish forces.

So if one really wants to talk about independence, one must start from when this whole protectorate affair actually began i.e. the pre-colonial period. One must look at who the actual pre-colonial rulers of the territory were and what they stood for.

This kind of topics is what you call CHAOS.


Some are laughing without any reason, some are talking to themselves, others are staring at nowhere. It reminds me of this pic:

Totally anarchy.
