[Macawisley]

That's not what you said tho you clearly said that you want them to come and install their language onto us and want to see them and 'their women'

It's clear you see yourself below them and get excited that bunch of low life Europeans on Facebook reminisce about Somalia

Not true.

What do you mean install their language, I’m promoting integration so Somalia can become an Italian speaking nation again for the sole purpose of education & having access to Italian universities for our youth as well as having Italian workers come to Somalia to build infrastructure. Etc

& Yes, Italian women are beautiful

They didn’t conquer Somalia. They were in agreements with clans & protected our statehood from Ethiopia. If it wasn’t for Italy “Somalia” would have been integrated into the Ethiopian “Motherland” as Haile Selassie claimed.

THE ITALIAN CONNECTION: HOW ROME HELPED RUIN SOMALIA​

ROME -- The agony of Somalia has its roots in the endemic political corruption of Italy. Throughout the 1980s, Italian politicians and businessmen used the country, once a colony of Italy's, as a playground for huge construction projects that either did little to help the local population or actually disrupted and damaged Somalian society.


"Italy is definitely responsible for the tribal warfare and the genocide in Somalia," says Francesco Rutelli, a congressman for the environmentalist Green Party, which has played a leading role in exposing what has become a scandal in Italy. The United States, while not deeply involved in Somalia, was well aware of what was going on. Two U.S. ambassadors to Rome, Maxwell Rabb III and Peter Secchia, relayed Washington's approval of Italian policy in the Horn of Africa in the late 1980s, according to Western diplomats and Italian officials.
The reality of Italy's cynical role in Somalia is clear from documents made available to Parliament by the Italian Foreign Ministry. They show that Italy sponsored 114 projects in Somalia between 1981 and 1990, spending more than a billion dollars. With few exceptions (such as a vaccination program carried out by non-government organizations), the Italian ventures were absurd and wasteful.



Approximately $250 million was spent on the Garoe-Bosaso road that stretches 450 kilometers across barren desert, crossed only by nomads on foot. More than $40 million was spent to build a brand new hospital equipped with sophisticated machinery and operating rooms, in Corioley, south of Mogadishu. Since the Somalis were unable to run it, the hospital was allowed to fall to pieces. The Italian government paid about $95 million for a fertilizer plant in Mogadishu that never became operational. The Italians even established a University of Somalia -- despite the fact that 98 percent of the population is illiterate. The Italian professors received salaries between $16,000 and $20,000 per month.
"If you consider that from 1981 to 1990 Italian aid to Somalia was almost equal to 50 percent of the country's {Somalia's} GNP and that for years Italy was the major donor of aid to Somalia," says Rutelli, "it's easy to see what a negative influence we had and just how great our reponsibilities are."


Piero Ugolini, a Florentine agronomist who worked for the technical cooperation unit of the Italian Embassy in Mogadishu from 1986 to 1990, says that a majority of Italian cooperation projects were carried out without considering their effects on the local populations. The result, he says, were increasing social tensions that led to the civil war.



In February 1988, for example, Italy donated more than $4 million to set up a joint venture company that would buy cattle and sheep from the pastoral populations. The animals were fattened and exported to provide the Somali government with a source of hard currency. One year later, Siad Barre sold 3,500 head of cattle to the Yemeni army, in exchange for weapons used to fight his rivals, according to Ugolini.

"The Italian aid program was used to exploit the pastoral populations and to support a regime that did nothing to promote internal development and was responsible for the death of many of its own people," Ugolini says.
Ugolini points out that the Italian authorities failed to discourage the use of what he calls "the modern equivalent of slavery" at the former "Duca degli Abruzzi" farm in Johar. More than 3,000 people were employed every year at the farm; most of them came from a prison located in the midst of the sugar plantation. Other workers were "hired" after lists were drawn up during meetings between the director of the farm, the political police, the leaders of nearby villages and the unions. The average pay was between 500 and 700 lira per day, about 50 cents.

How on earth is trading and aiding a country a bad thing they literally even sponsored Somali Airlines during Siad barres regime and now we have a worser airport and airline?? and how on earth does that link to our Historical and Nomadic way of Tribalism they did not even gain anything Italy was the only country that tried to advise and keep Somalia from going into civil war and getting jumped by entire communist world.

Lets not blame Italy for our downfall because that is far from the truth, even during Fascist regime we self governed had our own clan leaders and sultans we cannot even be considered to be colonised since we where a protectorate a big difference. Do your parents have anything bad to say or look back on about Italy? we do not have our bones and heads in Italian museums.

Well guess what Somalia isn't their home and never will be. Somalia belongs to Somalis and Somalis only

He’s doing all that because he is obsessed with cadaan women. Notice how he sad he wants italian women to live in Somalia and not Italian people. This nigga is genuinely a self hating coon.

How about relying on yourself instead of trading your dignity and freedom for a handout, or for a personal gain?

Have you seen the pictures of how Italian colonialists walked on the backs of farmers in Jubbada Hoose to cross a stream or to land from a boat onto the shore?

Some parts of Muqdishu were a no-go zone for local residents during Italian occupation. Dude, you have no idea the indignity somalis suffered in their own country. Have you heard of Dhagaxtuur Event? SYL and such movements to get ird of the Italian yoke on Somalia?

The tribal leaders and Sultans you mentioned were msotly in servitude to the Colonials and some of them offered their own daughters as a burgaini for better treatment. For f*ck's sake, let us not get into meaningles revision of history. Somalis are and were always better off without a European Colonists in their country.
