Not one but TWO Best Selling Books in Japan about Somalia, Puntland and Somaliland

[Qeelbax]

The Sequel is called Koisura Somaria ( Loving Somalia ). The Prequel is called The Mysterious State of Somaliland
Our qabils are apart of the plot. Are the japanese reminiscing? They’re best sellers in Japan

some reviews, translated from Japanese:

“My previous work, The Mysterious Independent Nation of Somaliland, was very interesting, and I read his recent works in that vein. It is highly entertaining, and even a social system such as "clan" that is unfamiliar to Japanese people can be read without showing any rejection. I think it's a book with a sense of intimacy, as if the author were talking next to you. Even so, I always think that Mr. Takano is safe. I hope that hearing the name of Mr. Takano is not an obituary abroad.”

“A journey to revisit Somalia by the author who wanted to know more about Southern Somalia and Somaliland. It's interesting to see the process of trying to learn more about Somalia, even though my feelings for Somalia grow, but they don't turn around. A wonderful book that depicts life-size Somalis and the country of Somalia through people, food, and landscape descriptions.

Now i'm waiting for a japanese comic, an anime and a movie called i'm gonna be the king of somaria the story of a pirate who united somaria in it's sengoku jidai period and became the president of the country.

P.S. It turns out there is an anime called "Somali and the Forest Spirit" made in japan. We somalis should trade mark our name.

I am sure that they have clans in japan, but I don’t think they’re used that much ever since the country has modernised. Somalia take notes.

Kinda weird because recently I've been reading about a somewhat fascinating Japanese agriculturalist by the name of Masanobu Fukuoka who travelled the world at one point in his life and I was surprised to learn one of the countries he spent time in while studying the agricultural conditions across the world was:

The first came in 1979 from Herman and Cornelia Aihara, who
sponsored a macrobiotic summer camp at French Meadows in the
Sierra Nevada. It was the first time either Mr. Fukuoka or his wife,
Ayako, had been outside of Japan and the first time either of them
had been on an airplane. Over the next six weeks he traveled
throughout California, New York, and Massachusetts. Seven years
later he returned to the United States for another six-week trip, which
also included visits to Oregon and Washington. Over the last thirty
years of his life he also visited India (five times), Thailand (several
times), the Philippines, Africa (including Somalia, Ethiopia, and
Tanzania), Europe (twice), including a memorable trip to Greece, and
China.

I heard of a plan by some people in a private, nongovernmental
organization to promote modern agricultural methods in Somalia, so
I joined up with them, flying to Africa, hoping to test my natural
farming method for revegetating the desert. My first surprise came
as I flew over Somalia and saw the large Juba River, the waters of
which flow through the semi-desert year-round. The source of this
river lies in the distant mountains of Ethiopia.
As the river nears the Indian Ocean, in some areas it disappears
beneath the sand. At one time there must have been many such
invisible rivers in Africa because, when viewed from the air, I could
almost always see one or two pools of water in the midst of this
semi-desert, which the local people call “the land of thorn trees.”
Also, when traveling over land, I saw large trees of unknown
varieties. People told me that several hundred years ago these large
trees formed a dense forest. Naturally, I tried to find out why the
forest had disappeared.
From the accounts given to me by an Ethiopian elder and some
Somali farmers, the main cause was the colonial agricultural policies
brought in by Westerners. They introduced and exclusively grew
commercial crops such as coffee, tea, sugarcane, cotton, tobacco,
peanuts, and corn. Production of personal food crops was forbidden.
This was done in the name of enriching the national economy.
When I went to apply for a visa from the Somalian government, I
was flabbergasted when they told me that any kind of instruction that
agitates the farmers and encourages them to become self-sufficient
would not be welcome. If such activity went too far, they said, it
would be considered treason.

Sowing Seeds in the Desert

As someone who grew up a weeb this somewhat tickled something in me, not gonna lie.

Apparently from that video, this is a famous book in Japan. It's called loving Somalia.

So it turns out Somalis are weebs, and the Japanese are Somaliboos

 

[Dualke]

I'd kill for a manga adaptation

 

[Shimbiris]

Somaliboos

Yeah Japan was in constant war between clans but then a millitary dictator (Shogun) United the country and eventually the emperor took power and modernised the nation from a back water into a world power in 60 years

Not too sure about my Japanese history so some of it might be wrong

I don't know how to feel about the second one. It's either an authentic representation or a blatant disrespect. The first one though the somalis look dope and well built unlike hollywood skinny faaraxs representation.

P.S. YOOO!!! The first one the somalis wrote on their shirts slf meaning somali liberation front!!! Japanese know to much about us. Plus the somalis are racist too. It would've been freaky if the author wrote instead of you yellows he wrote you indhoyars, that would've been more authentic.
