I found a Facebook group of Italians who lived in Somalia before the war and are reminiscing about old days

Back then Somalis were only known for their beauty.

They weren't associated with welfare, war, crimes, gangs, drought, famine, piracy and terrorism like today.

My dad once picked up a German diplomat in the late 70s from the xamar airport, and he told my dad he was excited to be in Somalia because he's been told that "somali women are the most beautiful in Africa".

Theres no part of you that sees this as 70s talk for "i cant wait to pick up a somali woman for cheap"? Its tough not to just see it as fetishization.

The beauty of somalis hasnt really changed, theres still white men that lust after them in the west, and the conversation about that streak of fetishization is in full swing. Why would it have been different in the 70s?

(No, not all white guys or girls that pursue somali men or women are fetishizing them. Its common though)
 
Ill admit I dont know the dynamic between italy and somalia specifically, but I doubt the italians were more morally upstanding than the french in algeria, israelis in palestine, belgians in congo, brits in america, etc etc.
Italian didn’t really do anything close to those other nations not because of Italian kindness per se but rather because Somalis were too stubborn they would never allow a white man to bully them in such a fashion. The only Somalis who worked in the mass plantation were Somali Bantus because ethnic Somalis didn’t want to do it, even for a wage! Gerald Hanley once said while visiting Colonial Somaliland “Everytime a Somali got whipped, an Italian soldier was killed”

You see that general was Assasinated by islamic courts union and then people ask why I hate Islamists with every fibre of my being they've turned us into zombies
You fucking re+ard the Islamic Courts brought peace to the nation and security meanwhile the Dabadhilifs who were selected for Nairobi brought in Ethiopian troops to raze Muqdisho, rape our women, and Massacre our children. “Islamism” has been the only thing that has united Somalis and protected us from foreign threats. Was it Islamists who massacred the students in Masjid Al Hidaya? Was it Islamist who killed 30,000 Somalis in 2007?
