Portugal with the help of Ethiopia, invaded somalia more than 2 times, but they were defeated so bad. Vasco da gama's son was even killed in somalia, and the remaining injured Portuguese army fled to socotra island. We still celebrate that victory. That is why Portuguese never had a colony and never took slaves from East Africa cuz of the defeat from Somalia
@@josealves2128 he meant the literal geographic Eastern Africa which only applies to Somalia...Portugal never colonised the Somali Eastern horn unlike the rest of east Africa due to the 2 somali kingdoms (Adal Sultanate war against Portuguese empire armada of critavao da gama and Ajuran sultanatewar against portuguse empire) defeating the Portuguese in a series of naval and land battles

@@josealves2128 yeah it was unique in defeating the Portuguese empire at its heigh not once or twice but over decades...and it was 2 separate somali kingdoms that fought independently without helping each other and both defeated the Portuguese empire but Somalia also suffered heavy losses...adal sultanate was the somali kingdom who defeated the Portuguese musketeers sent to reinforce Ethiopian empire, the adal commander Ahmed Ibrahim ap ghazi and his army captured roderigo da gama after battle and executed him ..this is the brother of vasco da gama btw And ajuran empire in South Somalia mainly waged a naval war and defeated the Portuguese who temporarily took and burned one coastal somali city called Barawe Both somali kingdoms were unique in being the only people in subsaharan Africa during the 1500s using cannons and guns Our victory was mainly due to the ottoman empire giving our kingdoms the cannons and guns they needed For the ottomans, adal and ajuran kingdoms of somalis winning meant sunni Muslims would continue to dominate and rule the important red sea gulf of aden and North West Indian ocean coastlines of Somalia which is a global trade chokepoint back in the 1500s and the same is true today

Thank you for your time making this video, everything you stated was 100% accurate I appreciate the effort & time you put in to make this video. I’ll love too see a video more on the siad barre regime as many remarkable changes happened under his reigme such as the Literacy campaign
The Cold war partly ruined Somalia. At the start Somalia was aligned with the Soviet union and the Ethiopians with the Americans. Somalia conquered The Somali region in Ethiopia, but while that was happening the Ethiopians had a civil war, where the victors of that civil war decided to also align themselves with the Soviets. So the Soviets had a problem, because two of their allies where at war. They told Siad Barre(the then president of Somalia) to retreat and return the Somali region, he refused and aligned himself with the American. The Soviets airlifted a Billions worth of supplies+1,500 advisors and 12,000 Cubans for the Ethiopians, The Americans did next to nothing compared to that for the Somali’s.
But the Soviets betrayed the Somalis and switched sides before Somalia jumped into the arms of the US. However the US stopped Ethiopian and Soviet expansion into Somalia after Somali forces retreated which was crucial
Somalia conquered the Ethiopian capital in 1977 but Ethiopia cried for help from Russia, cuba,yemen,usa, Soviet union etc. somalia had to withdraw its army but we still managed to kill more than 7000 cubans😂
imagin if they did not intervene somalia would be great thank allah it is getting better with the terrorist are getting pushed back slowly one day i will go back to kismayo
At least say it correctly. The Cold war partly ruined Somalia. At the start Somalia was aligned with the Soviet union and the Ethiopians with the Americans.

Somalia already captured the Somali territory in Ethiopia easily but the greed to capture more eventually destroyed them after Ethiopia begged for help. Losing that war is the reason why the whole country is a disaster today
All I hear is Ethiopian evasion followed by British and Italian colonialism. Separately, greed, tribalism, and dictatorship ruined the country. Somalia has both good and bad history just like many other countries, though no one seems to mention this. I wish peace and wellness for the innocent Somali civilians.
Our history is way more than colonialism… did u not hear the first part of the video? Land of punt has a lot to it same with Ajuran, adal, Macrobia, etc
2:53 that territory was never ethiopian. It was nd still fully somali and the colonizers illegally gave it away to ethiopia coz they helped them against somali raids who fought for freedom against european oppression

You're missed some important information such as the Ogaden region is Somali but after 1977 the Ethiopian took it by getting help from western, so it's not true that Somali presidents wanted more power and conquer Ethiopia
You forgot to mention the British only signed treaty with some clans but others refused so they were British occupied territory or Dervish Resistance againist British colonial masters
Fact: Pirates still exist in Somalia. Who remembers the Captain Phillips incident? Next is the nation with not one, not two, but THREE capital cities. It’s South Africa! 🇿🇦
R u dumb there hasn't been a single reported piracy incident off the coast of Somalia for over 5 years Somalia has stabilised better the government is back there are strong Somali armed federal units that secure the country better like the Cia trained Danab brigade and the turkey army trained Gorgor special forces...pirates in Somalia long ago finished the pirates themselves have mostly joined the federal Somalia state army units
As an somalian I can confirm that we never were pirates, it was just a rumour that still exist to this day and they Americans to came to Somalia and called us pirates when they returned to their country!
2018 was the last pirate attack 6 years ago they exist, but almost every single one has fled due to ships being more fortified and harder to hijack. Most are now people who just live in the rural or city areas with no work or home.
yes because your dear white master the English man told you the line they drew is yours for ever.. Without your white English master do you even exist?
I don’t know, why would a NOMAD with an ideology that’s basically an Islam version of Manifest Destiny and was referred to a fierce race of republicans who love freedom & the right to bear arms want to move to America? You tell me……
@ogolow570 What tf are you talking about harari existed long before adal a hadiya are sidamic people they live south to south central ethiopia far from where adal was.😂Denying hararis because they speak semetic is wild
@@mr.shifty1564 show me one mention of hararis in futah al habash and I’ll delete my comment. They’re Gurage refugees fleeing the Oromo expansion who made it into Harar before the gates were completed.
@@mr.shifty1564 you’d think war from 500 years ago from an empire based in Harar would have hararis participating in it if they were in the region at the time. So show me where they’re listed.

You're making the evil. We were bigger than ethiopia, but they took they took the Ogaden region where was always inhabited by Somali people until 1850. So back off man. Tell the truth

..this is the brother of vasco da gama btw
And ajuran empire in South Somalia mainly waged a naval war and defeated the Portuguese who temporarily took and burned one coastal somali city called Barawe
Both somali kingdoms were unique in being the only people in subsaharan Africa during the 1500s using cannons and guns
Our victory was mainly due to the ottoman empire giving our kingdoms the cannons and guns they needed
For the ottomans, adal and ajuran kingdoms of somalis winning meant sunni Muslims would continue to dominate and rule the important red sea gulf of aden and North West Indian ocean coastlines of Somalia which is a global trade chokepoint back in the 1500s and the same is true today
