>been in a civil war for over 30 years>pirates running around like a fucking Jack Sparrow movie>a Taliban esque militant group ran most of the country from the capital, currently still controls large amounts of land >balkanized, Puntland and Jubaland are essentially their own de facto governments>Somaliland sucking western dick for recognition, Israel's dumping ground for Palestinians when the war ends>everyone is also fighting ISISWhy the fuck don't people talk about Somalia on here more often?This is like Fallout irl
>>219842983soulful country, i wish i could live there
>>219842983get with the times grandpa the somalia meme is long over its somaliland now
Somalis used to be considered caucasian
subsaharan africa is just too foreign. how do you even begin to relate to their societies? they're barely even countries, not in a derogatory sense, simply that they don't function in the way we take for granted.
>>219842983>civil war for over 30 yearsNo reporting on it thru cable>pirates running aroundOperation Ocean Shield ended that (tragically). Pirates were awesome and needed worldwide cooperation to be stopped they got mad aura>Taliban esque militant group ran most of the country from the capitalYou mean Al-Shabab? They're dwindling afaik but the Somaliland-Israel fiasco probably emboldened them>balkanizedNone of the clan states have recognition barring Somaliland so balkanization doesn't count for much in terms of global interest>Somaliland sucking western dick for recognition, Israel's dumping ground for Palestinians when the war endsNobody really is aware of this outside people seriously following the Israel/Palestine conflict or Somalia>everyone is also fighting ISISThe U.S has striking them into oblivion for ages (apparently), not as relevant as Al-Shabab. I say apparently since I can't understand Somali to see what's actually happening from on the ground sources>>219843012I'm friends with jews but I draw the line at landers God I hate them niggasShould be more informed about the region desu but I'm reluctant to read western sources on it
>>219842983Whats there to talk plenty if regions have been struck in war forever
>>219843565Not like somalia they are exceptionally chaotic. Literally the worst place in the entire africaAlso, a funny thing i just learned is that the overwhelming majority of those tear jerking donation aid ads on tv were showing somalians, these bulbheads single handedly nuked the entire sub saharans's image, made it seem like everyone was just as fuck up as them
>>219842983Not that different from Brazil desu
>>219843744It's not hard to find fucked up shit in other sub-saharan countries.I think literally every country on the same latitute as somalia in africa suffers from insurrection or war.
