Wow I didn't realize they restricted our ability to sell goods and trade. I also had thought one of the reasons somali scripts hadn't taken off was because of clanism. But just reading this it really looks like they went to great lengths to keep us from developing. I can't imagine how much we must have went backwards in the first half of the 20th century if this is what was happening across somalia. Especially when you combine this with the somalk massacre in harar and all the raids by Ethiopians.
That's not really true . They didn't go into the interior much. But they banned somalia from importing weapons and they basically took control over coastal trade in the north.
How do you think the gulf of berbera went from being called the gulf of aden?
that burns my ass stupid langaab italians i never knew why
That was the britishs fault btw not italians
you’re always chatting shit, learn to close that mouth of yours.
no rebuttal to what i said just emotions..
At most you can attribute a few buildings in the city to them (arc de triumph, catholic church etc), few roads and the railways was dismantled by the brits and it didn’t even cover all of italian somaliland. But the city as we knew it pre-civilwar was expanded and rebuilt after the italians left..
Wait
I just checked the thread I linked to and in there YOU yourself are saying Mogadishu was made into the city it was by somalis (the kacaan). Why are you deliberately spreading misinformation on here?i’m convinced he’s trolling, claiming that Arabs & Italians built Mogadishu, he was even claiming in another thread Somalis don’t do farming, it’s like he gets a kick out of spreading misinformation.Wait
