You in bed with them Arabs right?
No, if you look at my posts on this forum I call out racism against anybody and I provide an unbiased overview of recent Somali history.
You can criticise Arabs like any body else, you can call them racist or whatever you want.
But you're willing making an ahistoric narrative based on cuqdad and not any substantiated fact.

somalis are insular and should be. fock the world.
imagine if we werent part of the arab league. thousands of xalimos working as maids for 3 decades. khaliji diaspora would have the same status as xabashis. in the civil war the arab league was quite hands off. the arab league is nowhere near as destructive to us than the african union. dont forget arabnimo access to education.
the only time I will support Somalia leaving the Arab league, is if we ever get to first world/developed status. although never going to happen...
the Arab league is super beneficial, even if we aren't Arab, who cares. the pros outweigh the con of being labelled as Arab

f*ck those sand nigs for that. if we were colonized til the 90s, somalia would look like dubai rn
Arabisation is worse today, in fact Somalia is more Somalised today than its ever been. Somali culture has been Arabised from the time of Muhammad until independence.
Before independence, Somali was written in the Arabic script and any body who finished school was fluent in Arabic. The most famous Somali history book written by a Somali (Futuh al Habash) is written in Arabic.
Laakin Somalis today complain about arabisation when it was much worse for your grandparents.
Shihab, the author of that book, was Yemeni. But your point still stands that Arabic was the written language of literate Somalis for about a thousand years.

Bring back far wadaad. Looks way better than Latin script.
This somali letter was written 87 years ago in arabic script. Enjoy
Did you know somali was written in arabic script? makes much more sense I must say! I wonder if theres more letters like this, allowing us into the world of our ancestors, how they spoke, what they did. I'm fascinated to know their use of the langauge.

First I hear about them supporting us with petrol, was that after 77 ?
Was pretty surprised as a kid when my parents told me that Somalis can't be legally hired as housekeepers in the UAE. Somali families do it but they lie and pass the girl off to the government as a relative staying with them under their visa like a niece but non-Somalis can't really do that so our girls wouldn't suffer the horrific maid experience like Xabashi women.
Yeah, they supported us with cheap petrol and co-financed a petrol refinery in Xamar so that we could save more money.
I think there was an issue in the 1980's cos the Kacaan sold the refined petrol for a massive profit to South Africa which pissed off the Arab League as Sth Africa was under sanctions.
