From modern times to ancient. No wonder it couldn't be a real civilization and its hard to run a country as somalis

There's a difference between highlighting our good vs bad history regarding modern day problems. Today is the amalgamation of centuries of qabyalad. Matter of fact, our ancestors were so dumb they waged a civil war while outsiders and colonials came.

@Fang4 sxb for sure somali peninsula has alot of history. But what the video is saying is because of certain condition it is hard to sustain a civilization not that it never existed.

For example he mention somali lack of agriculture hard to sustain civilization which is true. Or lack of resources which forces us to import and trade to survive which is also true thats why all somali civilization were trading ports.

He also mentions clan which fight between different clans and inter clan to sub sub clans being a problem. Which is also true.

There is nothing he said in the video that show misinfo unless i am missing something. He even mention rich somali trading culture in the video

The video is cringe and ignorant. Post academic work for a summary of the history, not some ex-4chan YouTuber content. That video is geared toward 14-year-old White boys. If your point is to peddle this "we were animals before the Europeans came, and they civilized us and/or they were never a problem" trope, then that is on your self-respect, not us to accept. Plenty of material that explains the complex ups, downs, and regional fluctuation of the historical areas of our inhabited geography, nothing of that needs to be a low form of attention-seeking gimmick by substandard YouTubers.

That’s true, I was watching a farming video of Jigjiga couple nights ago and what made me uncomfortable was when they mentioned there’re no Somali working in the fields, all workers are from other ethnic backgrounds. If we are too lazy to prosper from the lands God blessed us with, nothing else will make us prosperous.
