I know it's sad, imagine living in the Warsengali sultanate. You'll probably grow up poor and uneducated. It's not my fault back then there were no standards, it just be like that sometimes. Contrary to popular belief, Siad didn't do much tbh.
Warsangelis like the dictator
I don't even like Siad Barre, this is why I dislike tribalism.
Doesn't that mean hand?
We are not somalidiid bro.I knew that reer PL are majority Somalidiid !
Welcome to our way of life.

So let me see when we were separate our kingdoms were the richest in the world due to trade, so hmm would you want to be the richest country in the world or would you want to be a third world country that has hospitals and airports I guess
somalia in the 60s was a third world country one of the worst for its time, while in the kingdom era we were top 5 at the least and defeated Portugal in war
while colonizing and discovering more than them
Well guess what airlines and banking systems are very primitive also why are you acting dense, nation wide used currency in the 60s isnβt an achievement men were on the moon at this time lol, that doesnβt mean that was our best time period in that case right now is our best time period we have cellphones in Somalia they didnβt in the 60sTrading with countries and "kind, sorta colonizing" ain't much.
World super powers?? chill with the amount of arrogance, I named education, banking, manufacturing.
Trade? If that isn't the most basic thing lol. People in the Sentinel islands are probably trading. They may have traded with Ancient Greece, but I thinks that's about it for achievements huh?
"Trade, sailing, and we kind sorta colonized and Island."
Oh and don't use "we", remember, no unification at that point.
one more examples.
Somali airlines, established 1964
more roads, (can you count how many roads there were back then? If you guessed ZERO. Your right!)
So having a banking system, airlines, nationwide used currency, much better education standards(wait there were no educational standards back then loool) writing system, some roads(no means of transportation is harsh huh)better buildings and houses is nothing.
This is a sad argument.
thatβs dumb logic, for its time kacaan was a third world country while at their time period our kingdoms were first world
itβs like saying Mongolia now is better than when it was under gengis khan because meh Mongolia has computers now 
basically the dumbest take Iβve heard yet
But Mongolia under Genghis was united...isnβt that literally the opposite of what you like?Well guess what airlines and banking systems are very primitive also why are you acting dense, nation wide used currency in the 60s isnβt an achievement men were on the moon at this time lol, that doesnβt mean that was our best time period in that case right now is our best time period we have cellphones in Somalia they didnβt in the 60s
Itβs about when weβre we at our best relative to the world and that was when we were divided, we were a superpower we literally defeated Portugal and Arab nations were paying us a tribute
while we were colonizing African countries like Mozambique and Tanzania whatβs your definition of a superpower because we could go toe to toe with any army at the time while being wealthier and having colonized more area
Once again, we werenβt shit. Colonizing Mozambique and Tanzania? Iβm gonna need sources, simply based on your knowledge of history. Arab nations paying tribute? Once again sources.Itβs about when weβre we at our best relative to the world and that was when we were divided, we were a superpower we literally defeated Portugal and Arab nations were paying us a tribute
In under Kacaan we were a third world shithole colony of Russia, why would that be better than when we were divided and were powerful enough to colonize Russia
See? Here I'll help you out, no more Rome, how about Ancient Egypt? Still, kingdom era Somalia didn't do shit.
"what has united Somalia ever done nothing intact the separated kingdoms were more successful"
First female African pilot. Since you asked about African achievements.
Increased literacy rate. How many people were reading in the past?
Manufacturing, centralized banking, self explanatory.
Education, creating standard writing script. Now although the Wadaad script was crested, only the elite could read. If you lived in Somalia before the civil war, you would've had accesses to schooling way easier.
Construction, buildings and houses. Who wants to live in a 13th century Somali house, when you can live in a 1960s style home.
etc......
now it's YOUR turn!
Like I said earlier, answer or bon voyage! You have failed to do so, so bon voyage!
If thatβs your definition than we were a superpower, we were the worlds trading market making us the best economic powerhouse at the time, and power wise we were defeating European nations like Portugal at the time when they were colonizing the rest of Africa and southern America, we had major influence and power on the global scale, colonizing countries facilitating and having a stronghold on all world trade(gulf of aden), maybe we werenβt the best moral wise because of our slave trade where we sold slaves from our colonies like Tanzania, but all the world powers at the time weβre doing soOnce again, we werenβt shit. Colonizing Mozambique and Tanzania? Iβm gonna need sources, simply based on your knowledge of history. Arab nations paying tribute? Once again sources.
A superpower is a nation that has immense power and influence on a global level. Through economic or military means.
Sources darling
What part of sources did you not understand?
