But never seems to work in a? Despite having more than 2000 ethnic groups, more than 20 languages, and so many different religions and creeds, a powerful central government still reigns over the entire nation and the 1.2+ billion people believe in it and support it. To date, there are no credible or significant movements that aim at balkanizing the country or establishing an ethnic-based region. In stark contrast to this, the 10.5 million population Somalia are simply too large to ever be credibly governed ever again by any central government from any region in the country. The country is poised to be balkanized and fragmented forever. This is despite the fact that these people apparently share the same ethnicity, religion, culture, customs, etc.
So, what is going on here then? What are your explanations? Maybe, just maybe, the diverse people living in the Somali peninsula are not at all related to one another, are not at all apart of the same ethnic group, are vastly different from each other culturally and in terms of heritage? Perhaps Somaliness has always been about the language and language only? Some things for you to consider and chew on. Indians definitely seem to be a lot more related to one another given how they can all come together and establish a successful and powerful central government, while the people living in the Somali peninsula who allegedly share the same ethnicity have demonstrated they are incapable of ever doing that and that it is effectively impossible for any type of government to ever rule over them again in the future.
