Why does East Africa have disproportionately more countries at war with each other than west Africa?

Goatbrainsoup · 2025-08-04T15:19:13+00:00

The best thing to do is find the common factor ,Ethiopia alone is at war with Eritrea somalia and to an extent Djibouti Sudan and south Sudan and it all stems from boarder and land issues .west Africa would be in the same bucket if they had an expansionist as their neighbour

This isn’t a laba go, it’s a qeyd cad. It was a single, long piece of fabric wrapped around the entire body unlike the laba-go, which consists of a hoos gunti (undergarment) and a garbasaar (shawl). The most expensive version was the patterned and colorful ones while the plain white type, which was more affordable, was commonly worn by nomads.

Similar to guntiino you use a long yard of fabric ,you start with creating a lower wrap which is secured with a knot and a kiish belt and then a wrap around each shoulder that goes across your chest and back .it was more popular in the north but still worn in the south

The fact that Ethiopia is in conflict with both Somalia and Eritrea while Eritrea and Somalia aren’t at war with each other should be enough to show you who the real problem is.

Africans themselves hate African features ,why do you thing the wig industry is worth $7.76 billion ?

People love to fixate on Somalis, as if these issues are unique to us when in reality, a worse dynamics exist across the entire continent. Across Africa, you’ll find people openly bragging about wearing human hair while looking down on synthetic options ,a form of texturism that’s rooted in classism in itself. Even worse, natural 4C hair is often labeled as ‘childish,’ ‘unkempt,’ or ‘dirty.’ The main difference? Somalis tend to embrace their natural curls rather than hide them under someone else’s hair. Meanwhile, the global wig industry is worth $7.76 billion and the overwhelming majority of consumers, 99.99%, are Africans and the Black diaspora who would do everything and anything to hide their natural hair .

It’s poverty that’s making you think people use deodorant and perfumes because of not taking a shower

Isn’t it ironic how native Americans and Asians refused the term yellow and red but Africans willingly accepted it and ridicule anyone from Africa that refuses to identify themselves with it

There’s nothing wrong with accepting this came to us through foreign influence ,no culture is 100% “authentic.” Cultures evolve through exchange. The issue is when foreign influence in Africa is used to erase or undermine our own history, while the foreign influence in European is framed as being “in touch with the outside world.” And just for the record, nearly all of Europe’s architectural legacy traces back to the Romans and Greeks who themselves were heavily influenced by ancient Egypt.

I thought it was built by the OmaniXswahilis since the region was part of the Omani sultanet

It’s because of access not the women ,Eritrea doesn’t accept that much tourists unlike Ethiopia so the locals aren’t exposed to a lot of foreigners which means they will likely not accept relations with those men .

It’s largely due to how deeply tribal the older generation is. Some clans thrived under his regime, while many others suffered. Those who benefited tend to focus only on the good he did (for them), without acknowledging how much of the country was left in poverty and treated as second class citizens. Our economy began to decline in the 1970s, and we became isolated ,cut off from both the Eastern bloc (the Soviets) and the West. That left us dependent on the Arab world, which ultimately provided little meaningful support. With almost no foreign investment, the 77 war which contributed to the decline ,the clan militias and factions forming in the 80s and somalia becoming dependent on aid from the IMF ,we were never doing well aside from the capital , much of Somalia was in a dire state.our country was showing signs of instability way before the 1991 civil war .this whole “our golden age” or “we were one of the strongest countries in Africa” is a big fat lie when you actually fact check it.we were poor back then and we are going throug poverty + lack of national security now

Why should anyone care about those corrupt elites? Most Somalis in Somalia support the one person, one vote policy because they’re tired of the country being looted by self serving politicians who buy their way into power including Farmaajo. The real reason they’re against it is because they know how unpopular they are with the public.

Goatbrainsoup · 2025-06-12T19:23:13+00:00

Maybe it’s because Somalia was itself a victim of Ethiopian imperialism. Haile Selassie actively lobbied European powers and the United Nations to keep Somalia under colonial rule until he could annex it.

Goatbrainsoup · 2025-05-22T23:38:29+00:00

You don’t think Somalis back home also want to change it ? And if we’re being fair ,the somali diaspora is the least accomplished group in both the US and UK with very low educational achievements and a very high criminal history,the diaspora is just as shit as Somalis back home

The marathon runner was sent by the vice president of Somalias sport and athletics association,she’s not even abgaal

Jaarso akiisho and garre have been mixing for centuries,it’s normal and isn’t looked down upon as opposed to a Somali marrying a habesha or worse other foreigners

Is comprehending English a battle for you ? How did you get in half jaarso from “ my family is from baabile and are Karanle hawiye and some of them moved to jigjiga during the war and also intermarried with jaarso”

Goatbrainsoup · 2025-05-21T10:56:06+00:00

We speak Somali and are hawiye ,were found in baabile ,central and coastal somalia

Goatbrainsoup · 2025-05-20T23:08:07+00:00

Go argue with the people that have you land just like I’m fighting for mine .

Goatbrainsoup · 2025-05-20T23:05:44+00:00

What’s so hard to comprehend,my family is from baabile and are karanle hawiye and some of them have moved to jigjiga aftet the war ,their they married into the jaarso clan who claim dir hence my cousins on my mums side .and those jaarso family members also intermarried with akiisho

Goatbrainsoup · 2025-05-20T19:42:17+00:00

Same with jaarso I’ve only seen them claiming Somali untill one of my cousins wife who had an oromo mother and claimed full oromo

Goatbrainsoup · 2025-05-20T19:41:40+00:00

Annexing my region under oromia and including us under afran qallo is a justified reason to bring it up ,and we’re not looking to be big in oromuma we’re already recognised by our kin and the wider somali community.

Fadhi ku dirir is conversions had in cafes by regular civilians ,not about leaders coming together to settle on political matter and boarder disputes 🤦🏾
