Hello guys. I have been wondering about the pre Islamic religion of the Somali people. What was our religion before Islam? Another thing I've been think about is how did Islam reach Somalia.. We know some of the first sahaba (companions of the prophet) immigrated to the kingdom of Axum. Was...

Wow look how powerful Somalia once used to be. Imagine where would we have been if the Ethiopian Somali war and the Civil War never happened. I enjoyed the journalist comments over the show.

Who wants to help start a movement on social media where we educate ignorant Somalis and foreigners on the TRUE history of Somalia. There are many people who are spreading disinformation and making us look like weak, racist and ignoramuses. We must counter this as it can effect the young...

This stick is known to Somalis by many names, among them hangool. It is used by animal herders, specifically camels and goats in Somalia but probably cows sometime in the past as well. The ancient Egyptians called it a “was” - meaning to dominate in their language. It was a sign of kingship...

Does anybody else come from Somaliland and believe we'd better be off as a ethnic group and people together and not divided by nation states divided we are weak? how will this happen idk to be honest. maybe the stronger state absorbs the weaker? Anschluss somali style? this is just a brainstorm...

To say that Somaliland was a colony is offensive. As far as Somaliland is concerned, it's not historically accurate. Somalia Italiana was a full blown colony with upto 60,000 white Italians settlers. Somaliland was not a colony, it was only a protectorate of Great Britain, with whom it had...

Personally my great-great- great grandfather moved from Somali Ethiopia into Modern day outskirts of Mandera in the late 1700s early 1800s for reasons my family does not know. Do you guys have any other stories of Somali Expansion in your family from the last few Hundred years?

Qabiil is our only and greatest weakness. We must address and eliminate this weakness completely if we want our next generation and country to survive. As individuals who have either experienced the Somali Civil War first hand or whose families were affected, we understand the devastation that...
