The Cardiff community has faced the reality of how UK law enforcement treats Somalis before
Alx they're tight knit and inshAllah they will get justice once again just like the Mohamud of 1952
The issues of the past still haunt us today

Somalis in the Cairo Geniza?
(Medieval Jewish Records)
The Cairo Geniza consist of thousands of manuscripts stored at Ben Ezra synagogue. This thread will cover some that make reference to the Somali coast.
You've strawmanned to cope. Elites mostly spoke Arabic/Persian and had dozens of non Turkish viziers throughout the empire's history.
Culture and religion are not mutually exclusive
Abby Farah a 🏴 Somali originally from Berbera
Throughout his career he served as Undersecretary General of the 🇺🇳, 🇸🇴 representative to the UN & Ambassador to 🇪🇹
He was also instrumental in helping end Apartheid in 🇿🇦
Somalis in the Shahnameh?
(Persian Book of Kings)
The Shahnameh was composed by Ferdowsi in 1010 CE and is considered to be the pinnacle of Persian poetry. It mostly revolves around folklore.
A couple pages of letters exchanged between the Isaaq Suldaan and Sheikh Suldaan Al Qassimi of Sharjah in the 1800s.
They discussed mutual aid and assistance against the British who the Habar Awal had recently attacked in Berbera in 1827.

I wonder who those pirates were 🤔

Lascanood elders have the ultimate right to decide their future without SL violence or accusations of terrorism directed towards them.
In 2022 Waddani protestors were killed during election unrest by SL police - and were labeled qaran dumis.
Bloodshed could've been averted
Only the red countries have birthrates outpacing deaths
Not enough births = less taxes to maintain social services in the West. Overpopulation is a myth
In times like these there is literally no need to give birth to multiple kids. This world is already overpopulated & too expensive, plus health conditions are in decline. Men talk about growing the Ummah, but there‘s no point in having a bigger Ummah
BS
The diaspora is helping to fund hospitals, road projects, new schools & is stimulating the local economy by buying and developing properties. Giving the locals employment and increasing living standards with infrastructure.
Don't vomit your soc science lecture on the tl 😅
The Somali diaspora have grown up in countries that practice capitalism and exploitation. Whether it is a conscious or unconscious agenda, a lot of you who say you want to go back home and help ‘rebuild’ it, come with ideas of borderline exploitation, profiting off the poor. 1/2
Somalis & the 2nd Portuguese Armada
The expedition was formed in 1500 by King Manuel of 🇵🇹
Diogo & Pedro Dias's ship got lost and they became the first Europeans in Madagascar.
After they would visit Mogadishu and accidentally sail into the Gulf of Aden and arrive in Berbera.
A glimpse of trade networks in Aden (Yemen) in 1155–56 CE:
"Travelers arrived in these two years in ships from every sea: from all the lands of Hind and its provinces, from the land of the Zanj and its provinces, from the inland region of Berbera and Abyssinia.... 1/
The Adal - Ethiopian war was NOT an Ottoman & Portuguese proxy conflict

peddle this narrative but a respected Turkish historian says otherwise
Dagestan Muslims rushing Israelis is not praiseworthy at all. It isn’t permissible in Islam to harm those granted security from a governing muslim body.
Our zeal for Palestine should in no way allow us to promote actions directly contradicting the Shariah.
هل تعلمون أن الإنجليز والصهاينة فكروا خلال ثورة 1936 بإلغاء فكرة #فلسطين كوطن قومي لليهود ورأوا أن تكون دولتهم في جزء من الصومال وطلبوا من الإيطاليين عدم تفكيك كرفانات جنودهم وضباطهم في الصومال لتكون نواة العاصمة اليهودية. لكنها "شهامة" الأنظمة العربية انقذتهم.

Recently there has been a number of suspicious fires 🔥
Wahen Market Hargeysa
Bakara Market Mogadishu
Garisa Market NFD
Jigjiga Fire
Who is targeting Somalis?
Four cowards in hoodies attacked our beloved brother Shamsi in London. The people of falsehood when they have no hujjah they resort to violence. May Allah protect our brother and expose the identities of these cowards. Ameen!
Imagine being a genocide survivor this evening, listening to this, having to put your kids to bed with this going on outside your window. Europe failed Bosnia in the 1990’s and its failing Bosnian all over again.
