I’ve come across one of the works of Faarax Cawl, a somali writer. He was known for being the first somali novelist to use the Latin script after it was introduced in 1972. His work i’ve come across is called Garbaduubkii Gumeysiga (the shackles of colonialism)
Cawl was reportedly killed in...
As a side thing, I love digging into old and ancient Somali history, as well as other east African countries. There's many things I found that I bet were never mentioned in here haha.
I feel a lot of things have been forgotten and corrupted too.

Time stamped here, Somalis need to be more vocal about our Islamic history and our contributions to Africa., he also lied and said the Omanis controlled Somalia, he says this around 12:47, he also blames the slave trade on AFRICAN people :drakelaugh:, and says Africans were slaves to arabs...
I find it interesting that ever since the Middle Ages, Somalia has been trading with China(not just trade but apparently influencing each other in terms of language, culture and military). Of course we know that Somalia was a trading route through the Silk Road, where traders brought all sorts...

Somalis back home are victims of brainwashing wlhi.

So for the past year I have been researching Somali history and culture extensively and I have really been enjoying discovering how so well interconnected Somali merchants and kingdoms were with some of the world's greatest civilizations (e.g. ancient Egypt, China, Rome...).
One of my...
