Which groups would you nominate as among the Most Wasted Potential?
Not being bias at all, but Somalis are definitely apart of this list like times I just think about how high the ceiling is for Somalis it's a shame.
Somalis are the Single Largest Ethnic Group that encompasses the Largest Land Mass in all of Africa and they've maintained this despite competition being Significantly Larger than them as well as Tribal Affiliation making them sparse.
Somalis have a Distinct Advantage over other Africans given that there is only One Group and One Language within the Somali Peninsula being Somali people and the Somali Language while many African Nations struggle with Extreme Ethnic and Linguistic Competition, just Nigeria having 500 Languages and Hundreds of Ethnic Groups and very similarly with their neighbours Kenya and Ethiopia. But they're unable to recognize this Distinct Advantage.
Somali as been the Sole and Dominant Language of the Somali Peninsula and even when once a upon a time it was the very Centre of World Trade and was exposed to many different Groups, Languages and Customs Somali has not lost its position and Single Most Dominant Language of the Somali Peninsula.
Many West, Central and East African Nations not only deal with the hundreds of Languages within their Boarders but have to also deal with Colonial Languages as their Official Languages. With Angola having Portuguese as their Official and Tanzania having English amongst their Official Languages and Somalis only having Somalis as their Sole Languages with No Colonial or Other Language being spoken within.
In the 17th and 18th Century, the British made Reports on how Somalis despite their Tribal Affiliations would've unmistakably swept through East Africa had they not interfered.
This is the same Somalis that are divided and detached from one another through Tribal Affiliations.
Just Imagine If Somalis Completely Abandoned Tribal Affiliation and instead Subscribed to Somali Uniformity no doubt the Entirety of East Africa would've been Somaliweyn.
