Should Socotra be annexed by Somalia in the future?

[Macalin M]

Tbh, its kinda weird it reminds of the shanta somaliyeed and somaliweyne dogma that it self is quite regressive to Somali progress.

Elaborate

You're a laangaab. Only reason you support secessionism is you think it'll give you political leverage. You the same niggas that sold NFD to Kenya. Look at this fucking cawaan @DR OSMAN

LOL, who sold the NFD ...…… wasn't the NFD created during the colonial period and curved out of Italian somali nation and given to Kenya?...………….

You mean MSB sold out NFD most of them is from his own qabil……...

Elaborate

it's the idea of anything that is somali with regards to population, ethnic similarities and geographical location should be claimed.

 

[sheed-dheer4ever]

It should be part of somalia and is in Somali territory of within 200 nautical miles of Somalia. And outside Yemen territorial waters. We will take it inshallah

He wasn’t in power when that was given away. I think it was 1945.

No it doesn’t belong to us, our ancestors were not seafarers besides we already have plenty of land. We can however work with the people of the island and grow it as a major tourist spot for Somalis

Somalis do have a maritime history that is quite obvious considering our 10+ ancient coastal city states.

I understand that but that island has no history of Somalis otherwise, we would have settled long time ago and claimed us as ours. proximity =! ownership but inhabiting it does. I am sure the natives are friendly

How do you think people from Bari got to Oman or Jubaland?

What are you on about? Your ancestors may not have been seafarers however many of my ancestors in PL were sailors, how do you think we reached Eritrea and Oman?

Socotra Island should stay how its, we have more urgent things to worry about, like
the Expanding Gallas.

 

[Pioneer]

We Somalis are blessed with a lot land, We just need to develop the land we have first.

The natives currently live under no proper rule of law. The only thing that wishes to administrate over them is the oppresive immoral UAE it is not haram if Somalia was strong to bring the island under its flag, if its not haram its also not “wrong” but considering Somalia is weak it doesnt really matter does it.

 

[Gallant]

Do somalis even know it exists?

Somali pirates use Yemen island as fuel base

Somali pirates have been using Yemen's remote Horn of Africa island of Socotra as a refuelling hub enabling their attack craft to stay restocked for longer periods at sea and pose a greater hazard to shipping, maritime sources say.

Yes they do.

Im talking about the majority of them, if not?

The people in Bari region of Puntland do as it’s extremely close by. If you mean all Somalis in general then probably no.

 

[Gallant]

Somalia won't be able to annex land in our lifetime, it might even lose some.

 

[Ras]

Annexing no but we should at least attempt to have a strong influence there so the place isn't used as a staging post for our potential enemies.

Also, we should encourage secessionist sentiments of the locals there.
