    Also both the kingdoms of Adal and ajuuraan empires consistently defeated the Portuguese from conquering Somali lands, but did ended up with a Portuguese creole people in the city of barawa. also Somalia was the first African state to establish diplomatic ties with China and used to send exotic animals, like the giraffe. Also first democratic state in Africa with 2 successful elections from 1960_1969 until the coup.

    Another interesting fact:
    Similar to when Ethiopia 🇪🇹 overruled the Italians 🇮🇹 from colonising them
    Somalia 🇸🇴 almost did the same, but when the man who organised the overthrowing got killed, everyone decided to give up
    Apparently the British 🇬🇧 called him “Mad Mullah”

      @Justin Y. uour point makes no sense since Somalia never gave up and got independence before eritrea also Somalia fought both the British and Italian emlires and won for 22 years no other African people fought 2 European colonial powers simultaneously as well as fighting abyssinia (habesha part of ethiopia) which at the time was actually a servant of the British empire doing their bidding to help Europeans expand and take African lands
      But then again who are you to talk as a measly Tanzanian weren't your people massacred en masse by the germans like what they did to the hima tribe of Tanzania lmao at least us Somalis not only defeated the British and Italian empires that tried to colonise us but we also forced them to respect our traditional xeer laws and Islamic faith and we never got colonised we made them sign treaties of protectorate whole your people in Tanzania were straight up conquered and colonised and then genocided first by arabs for a thousand years and then by germans lmao
      Shut your silly mouth you speak about us is like your oppressed African American cousins talking about proud independent people like the Iranians arabs or Somalis

    Fun fact about the Somali Flag: it is inspired by the flag and colors of the United Nations' flag. This is bacause of a recognition to that body to assure peace within the region. It is a similar story for the display of Bosnia and Herzegovina's, which is inspired by the European Union's flag.

    Hey Paul.
    It's Simon with Danish Postcard!
    Nice that you recieved it so fast! I think I send it not even a week ago.
    I just wanted to say so for the spelling. It's hard when you're dyslexic and also have to write in another language. But thank you for taking the time to read my postcard, and I hope that Bornholm will one day get the recognition that it deserves. It's a beautiful place and depends a lot on tourism, so struggles a lot these days.
    I hope one day I'll get probably in contact with you, because of you're knowledge of the world. I have a plan of traveling the world myself.
    Sincerely
    Simon
