Britain is on the Wrong Side of History to Divide Somalis Again

[Deeq A.]

For most Somalis, one country, Britain, has set herself apart from the rest of the West for its historical and continuing policies which they consider as inimical to their nation. Somalia’s neighbours, Ethiopia and Kenya, have been the main beneficiaries of Britain’s perceived antipathy towards a united Somali nation and their aspirations for Greater Somalia. Britain is not solely responsible for the curve-up of their homeland. Other European predators took part, each vying for their share of the spoils of the partition of Africa. Where most Somalis feel it wronged them more than the others is what it did with the parts it got, and what it is doing to present day independent Somalia to unravel its unity.
