A History of Somalia

The area of Somalia has being inhabited for over 2,500 years by Afar, Cushitic and Somali ethnic groups. From the first century, Romans and Greek were trading in and out of the ports of Hafun and Mosylon-Bandar Gori on the Somali coast. The Aksumite Empire controlled the north-west of the region from the third century until the arrival in the seventh century of Islam. From the thirteenth century until the colonial period the area was ruled by city states which were controlled by Somali clans. The age of imperialism transformed Somalia, Britain established a protectorate called British Somaliland in 1886, following the withdrawal of Egyptian garrisons from the area. And Italian Somaliland originated in 1889, when Italy concluded agreements with two local rulers, who placed their territories under Italian protection. Following World War II although Somalis aided the Allied powers in their struggle against the Axis powers, Britain retained control of both British Somaliland and Italian Somaliland as protectorates. In 1950 the Italians returned to Somalia under a UN trusteeship, with the commitment to bring the colony to independence within ten years. British Somaliland became independent on June 26, 1960, and the former Italian Somaliland followed suit five days later. On July 1, 1960, the two territories united to form the Somali Republic, albeit within boundaries drawn up by Italy and Britain. Many clans claimed to have been forced into the new state and inter-clan rivalry was a growing problem. In addition, many of the clans wished to be re-united with kinsmen in French Somaliland, Ethiopia and Kenya.

In late 1969, following the assassination of President Shermarke, a military government assumed power in a coup d’etat led by General Siad Barre and Chief of Police Jama Korshel. Barre became President and Korshel vice-president. The revolutionary army established large-scale public works programmes and successfully implemented an urban and rural literacy campaign, which helped dramatically increase the literacy rate from 5% to 55% by the mid-1980s. However, this was countered by the implementation of a brutal Marxist dictatorship which demanded upon the supremacy of the party above local clan loyalties which were an endemic feature of Somalia. In 1977, Somalia attacked Ethiopia with the aim of liberating and uniting the Somali lands that had been partitioned by the former colonial powers. Somalia soon overran Ethiopian forces and were nearing Addis Ababa when Cuban and Soviet forces came to the aid of Ethiopia. Somali forces were beaten back, sending hundreds of thousands of Somali refugees flooding into Somalia. After the defeat, many of the clan groups formed into guerrilla units with the intention of toppling the regime. By 1988, the country had been plunged into civil war, Siad Barre was eventually ousted in 1991, he immediately started a counter-revolution in an attempt to regain power. The situation became increasingly more chaotic evolving into a humanitarian crisis and eventually into a state of anarchy. The situation became even more complicated when the faction controlling the former area of British Somaliland declared it’s independence calling it the Republic of Somaliland. The UN intervened in 1993 in an attempt to alleviate famine conditions however amid fears of imperialism, the majority of Somalis opposed the foreign presence. Gun battles on the streets of Mogadishu, believed to be led by the warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid, resulted in the deaths of twenty-four Pakistani and nineteen American troops. After further casualties, the UN withdrew all forces in March, 1995. In the subsequent years many areas broke away from Somalia declaring themselves autonomous.

Should i get Red Faction Guerrilla or Transformers 2?

There for the x box 360 and i want to know wich one is better and more fun .

Go for Red Faction: Guerrilla. It's one of the best games of this summer. Volition (Developer), did very good job with that shooter. The destruction system is incredible - you can destroy every single building! Also, you will be able to explore the huge map, which is designed very well.
Finally, don't waste your money to movie tie-ins like Transformers - even if you enjoyed the movie. Happy gaming whatever you choose!

The politics of peace
After the nine-hour-long KLM flight from Amsterdam, one would have expected a weary Thuingaleng Muivah on the New Delhi airport tarmac on Saturday night. But the 75-year-old general secretary of the Isak-Muivah faction of the National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN-IM) showed little signs of a jet lag.

Thanks for visiting!
