Bingwa's Know Somalia Series: The 1977 War

Most of you weren’t born, but I was. A little respect is hereby consequently deserved.

Some people have wondered what IF Somalia had attacked KE instead of Ethiopia?

Well, Somalia didn’t just picky picky ponky on which country to attack

There were justified reasons:

Do you think Somalia just picked arms and attacked a random country!?

Ethiopian forces was attacking people and robbing them, in the middle of the worst drought in the region. They appropriated water wells and started taxing livestock.

Somalia never attacked Ethiopia. It went to war to liberate our people, in our lands.

Britain cannot give Somali territory to Abyssinia, neither of them own the land.

The war to liberate Western Somalis was a national duty.

Somalia justifiably won this war

Ethiopia had support of military equipment and personnel from Cuba and Russia

Making it an unfair matchup

So?kufa, filthy swine

Please, this is an intelligent examination of history not fit for a neanderthal like you, your mother and father with your steeply sloped foreheads

You lack the neccessary IQ to decipher the written info.

Bingwa Scrotum you’re way too intelligent for these streets. Ntakutaftia mzinga na hizo majani zenu unichanue story za life.

anything from a is garbage to me

Oyaaah bingwa now that you have taken the liberty to educate us on the history of Somalia why not do compile it nicely …hatuwezi soma alafu tuende tufanye research kwani ni assignment unatupeee

Naiweka design ka story… I don’t want it to seem academic …I want it to be something utakumbuka at the heat of a conversation with a buddy, umshow vile ethiopia ni wachokozi

Fine leta earlier links basi i educate myself also … Hope you will go into culture and alshabab

Stupid Somali rats led by an equally stupid dictator tried to invade Ethiopia and got owned. Ethiopian gods cursed you to never have peace for at least 30 years. Attack Kenya and we will equally curse you to another 50 years of wars and famine .

Some people have wondered what IF Somalia had attacked KE instead of Ethiopia?

but it indirectly attacked kenya by supporting the shiftas.the motivation being greater somalia,but greater somalia is a myth.kila watu watulie kwa kisima chao ngamia zimeze maji

I can’t discuss this; I am loyal to my country, Kenya

Somalia’s biggest mistake was starting a war with Ethopia which ultimately led to its downfall.

The cause of the Somali civil war was the end of a domino effect that started with the failed 1977–78 war with Ethiopia and its allies.

The civil war then started another domino effect which has caused the tragedies that have been occurring in the Somali peninsula for the past 25 years.

mazel tov אֱוִיל אֱוִיל

Bana i agree with this …

Somalia need to get their shit together though …that country is one beautiful place i guess if it was stable it wld give kenya some competition side ya tourism

Somalia should be split up, kila clan iwe country kivyake, . Somalis from Somalia make fighting polio, TB, iwe ngumu in Kenya, .
they should split up for stability in the horn of Africa.
wakizidi kusumbua kenya should annex upto kisimayu Russian style.

You are joking …we will start getting Ogaden region in abyssinia back …those will be your warning shots

Very true from what i have seen the place is extremely beautiful plus the entrepreneurial spirit ya hawa waria wangekuwa mbali sana.

Lakini wameweka ujinga na mavi kwa kichwa na wakaweka ubongo kwa mkundu.
