Disclaimer: A very important Somali person who has a lot of legitimacy on these things is the one who said we need to study those elections from a different vantage point.
This after I forwarded the info I came across that caused me to think something was off about those elections.
Also I formed those thoughts not even from discovery of new information; but rather just the ever increasing accessibility that allows us to hit the pause button and see patterns and links we weren't able to notice from[/size].
We can now take uncontested facts and recontextualize it due to a bigger background picture----and all of a sudden those previously contested facts sudden look...contested.
Besides everything else though, fact is, no one actually voted for them. Their races were magically, undemocratically, and oddly designed to be different to majority of races.
They were appointed, not elected.
Is there anyone who can give an illuminating justification for these men's elections in the colonial period that various disparate circumstances taken together unmistakably says "inorganic" (as in SOMEONE wanted you there.)
Also by accessibility I mean we never had Italian Somalia Trust Government records online or 11Even from couple years ago it wasn't out.
So all researchers and historians studying this would have to go to Rome just to sit on dirty dusty floors and take notes&[/color]
