ababda:

This miss Arab Sudan among many looks very local, and we were discussing this some time ago on facebook. Although she is represents about 50% of the current population, they should had got somebody the complied to Arab beauty standards, because everyone has their own standard, there is a European Standard, East Asian Standard, Arab standard, West and Central African standard, and Horn of African standard. Her beauty standard is a Horn of African beauty and not a Arabian one nor possibly other African group Standard. She among others i have witness in Horner specific, but that will not win in any contest in the Arab world.

Although they represent 10 percent of the population, but individual such as this comply to the supposedly beauty standards of the arab world. Is it biase? Yup. But measuring beauty is biase, hence the expression beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Now if we are talking about within the Continent of Africa or International beauty contest (if Sudan ever enter such a thing) or the Miss Muslim World contest, and since they are somewhat unbiase in comparison to the contest i mentioned, sure why not have a person from South Kordofan or Darfur represent the entire country. Which is not a problem for most people here.

axum:



Huddah Monroe is half Somali, which is the reason why she doesnt look like an ape. Funny out of the Millions of Kenyans the one who you pick out is the prettiest one which happens to be half Somali. hahahahahaha


My point is proven, I take my bow, I leave now to go eat

The first girl doesnt and can bet you is mixed with something else, whats her name so I can google her.

axum:
Somali women in the military

KenyanLady:



You are half Bantu and half Somali tireless man with a hidden agenda, a clever Bantu, you are so dedicated to promote half Bantu and half Somali people, please keep up the good work.

Long live the Bantu race.


I know you hate unmixed Somalis, but here are some unmixed Somalis.






This girl is Somali Kenyan.

axum:



You are mentally disturbed.

KenyanLady:


Crazy man.

You are half Bantu and half Somali, admit it and love yourself, I used to hate my Bantu facial features but now not anymore.

muafrika:
Whats with the preoccupation with beauty. Is that the only source of self worth with some here?

What do you have that is of worth beyond your beautiful women,

Maakhir:


Somalis have a lot more than just beauty.

muafrika:
Do tell,

muafrika:

And you demonstrate that worrior spirit by blowing yourselves and your brothers up in the street?

Business survy? I doubt because Somali immigrants have not been fairing as well businesswise in the US and EU. Its only in Kenya that you try, all because we let you cut corners. Never mind that Mogadishu is yet to be established as a business capital.

There is something about pastoralist nomads that makes them quite proud and war like, yes. When the British ruled over British East Africa (Kenya) they used to frequently imprison Bantus, but they would only fine Somalis because they came to find out that Somalis had the odd habit of dying in solitary confinement and thus illiciting vengeance from their immediate kin. So to save them the trouble they just started fining Somalis.

I think it stem from the prestige imbued on warriors in nomadic culture, and the fact that military prowess was rewarded. Warfare always had been an important factor in relations with outsiders such as the Ethiopian Christians and the Oromo and even with other Somali clans. The lack of modern weapons, however, prevented the Somalis from successfully resisting the imposition of European colonial rule.

Antagonists in inter-Somali conflicts generally belonged to groups bound by their commitment to pay or receive "diya" (blood money). Because the entire group would be considered responsible for paying diya to compensate for damages inflicted, and would receive diya for its own losses, a war would begin only with the unanimous approval of its likely participants. A meeting of the elders of the warring groups was the usual means of restoring peace. The elders would determine which group was responsible for starting the war and would decide compensation, usually camels, for damages incurred. The group judged responsible for starting the war normally would be the only one fined unless it emerged the victor.
Blood and Bone: The Call of Kinship in Somali Society - I. M. Lewis

THE first thing to understand about the Somalis is that they are not as other men. Richard Burton, the famous Arabist and explorer who trekked across their lands in the 1850s, called the Islamic Somali nomads a ''fierce and turbulent race of republicans''. More pungently, a Ugandan sergeant with the British forces fighting the Mad Mullah went on record as telling his officer: ''Somalis, Bwana, they no good: each man his own sultan (king).''

In other words, they take orders from nobody; and their sense of independence is matched by a supremely uncentralised and fragmented degree of political organisation, a kind of ordered anarchy. The basis of political allegiance is blood kinship, or genealogy. Children learn their ancestors' names by heart back to 20 generations and more. A Somali does not ask another where he is from but whom he is from. Strangers who meet, recite their genealogies until they reach a mutual ancestor the more closely they are related the more readily they unite, transiently, against others: ''Myself against my brother; my brother and I against my cousin; my cousin and I against the outsider.''

Maakhir:


I'll continue from warrior spirit







Do you want more ??

muafrika:
I do not know which Kenya you are talking about in reference to your worrior spirit Maakhir. Kenyan Bantus started a campaign of brutality against the British colonizers. your people were collaborators. You served the British as their porters and guides. Somalis never fought the British. Ever. Kenyan Somalis even applied to be classified as Indians so they could get favors from the colonial government(That must have been when you guys stopped being African( Eti Indians, hehe.) That cannot be defined as bravery.

Maakhir:
Somalis are the warriors of East Africa and don't you forget it

Maakhir:
I'm gonna continue with this ego trip

We are the masters of poetry and linguistics:

Believe me for those people who do understand somali poetry and phrases will know what I mean.

Someone once said the way to a somali's heart is through poetry

Maritime history of Somalia refers to the seafaring tradition of the Somali people.[1] It includes various stages of Somali navigational technology, shipbuilding and design, as well as the history of the Somali port cities. It also covers the historical sea routes taken by Somali sailors which sustained the commercial enterprises of the historical Somali kingdoms and empires, in addition to the contemporary maritime culture of Somalia.
In antiquity, the ancestors of the Somali people were an important link in the Horn of Africa connecting the region's commerce with the rest of the ancient world. Somali sailors and merchants were the main suppliers of frankincense, myrrh and spices, items which were considered valuable luxuries by the Ancient Egyptians, Phoenicians, Mycenaeans and Babylonians.[2][3] During the classical era, several ancient city-states such as Opone, Mosylon and Malao that competed with the Sabaeans, Parthians and Axumites for the wealthy Indo-Greco-Roman trade also flourished in Somalia.[4] In the Middle Ages, several powerful Somali empires dominated the regional trade including the Ajuran Sultanate, the latter of which maintained profitable maritime contacts with Arabia, India, Venetia,[5] Persia, Egypt, Portugal and as far away as China. This tradition of seaborne trade was maintained in the early modern period by later Somali states such as the Gobroon Dynasty.

wow now talk about those savages killing eachother or doesnt it apply to your white master?

Yareey:
Muafrica's hate for Somalis is deep rooted if he is making ridiculous claims like ''Somalis never fought the British army'' and refuse to admit that most of us are pretty good business man. A South Sudanese friend of mine told me about Somali migrants in Juba who came bare handed and started small businesses in couple months just like Somali migrants in UK, US and around the world. But the best example is Somalia Mogadishu, the government does nothing and needs of households is provided by business man. You need clean water, they got is.You need electricity? they got it. You need security? they are the ones to turn to not the police. The whole country is runned by the private sector.

But I'm pretty sure that all of this doesn't matter to you because you are just looking for reasons to hate on Somalis. We are living in a sad world.

sad day for South Sudan you would think SS would learn not to trust odd looking Africans with white features & straight hair from NS. black nations should not let in Arabs/Asians/whites because they would just leach off of the nations dumb people

here bro maakhir il help you out

many european people left their own country to persue education in somalia. it was the first and the greatest modern state in africa before the war and had an army equal to that of the west. check your monkey presidents resume it probably say mogudishu university like many african leaders got their education in somalia

putting up one of the most fiercest resistance to European colonialism (it took 3 European powers France, England and Italy to subdue Somalis), by being one of the few African nations to have a written script, by being the biggest supporters of African liberation in southern Africa Zimbabwe, Angola, Mozambique, and South Africa (in fact Mugabe once resided in Mogadisho during his struggle to liberate his country not to mention that both the the ANC`s umkhonto we sizwe and the Azania People`s Liberation Army had training bases in Somalia during the struggle against apartheid. All this when other bigger and richer African countries like Kenya and Nigeria were to afraid of the West to lift a finger to help the people of southern Africa. So by fail state you mean solidarity in African liberation then we Somalis are guilty as charged but
you are just another one of these sellout Christian African uncle toms. i could list them all!

Yareey:

You confusing dear. When did Somalis become white, Asians or Arabs, we are a mix between Arabs and ''Blacks'' but mostly black. The guy I was talking about is far from being dumb, he is a well educated Dinka who has a vision for his country and the continent as whole, he was welcoming towards the foreigners in his country just like he was welcomed in Europe when he left his mother land.

TerryCarr:

no more then anybody else on the planet

nope that goes to the Austronesians

it was not anarchy like Somalia. plus it was between two factions not multiple clan/Muslim BS.
