GREATER SOMALIA ( Somaliweyn ) . Is Somalia's Reunification a Pipe Dream or Looming Possibility?

#somalia #somaliweyn #greaterSomalia
Greater Somalia. The hope and dream of many Somalis from every corner of the globe. Greater Somalia, or Soomaaliweyn in Somali, is a concept to unite all ethnic Somalis, comprising the regions in or near the Horn of Africa in which ethnic Somalis live. The territory historically encompassed Jubaland, Somaliland, Somalia, Djibouti, the Somali Region in Ethiopia and the Northern Frontier District in Kenya. The star on the Somali flag represents this dream.

How would greater Somalia look like?
A peaceful greater Somalia would be a force to reckon with. Politically, economically and militarily. It would be one of the largest countries in Africa and the most ethnically homogenous country in the world. With vast amounts of oil, a booming hospitality industry, a thriving retail and telecommunications sector, an industrious educated population, and a host of natural resources, it would be an African superpower.
Is there hope for Somaliweyn?
In the near future, no. But in the distant future, when the current geopolitical climate is different, maybe. But it will take an elusive set of conditions for this to happen. Either Kenya or Ethiopia would have to voluntarily give NFD and Ogaden back through a referendum. The Afar in Djibouti would have to dissolve into Eritrea. Also, Somalia itself would first of all have to be stable, economically progressive and peaceful. Qabilism would have to be eliminated and a fair democratic system would have to be created to ensure no community is left out. This would definitely entice Somaliland back to the fold. As long as Somaliweyn is alive in the hearts of Somalis, anything is possible. I hope that one day Somalis will live within one country, under one flag and one identity.
Thanks for watching. See you around.
