Kenya and Somalia has an on and off relationship dating back to the colonial days. 00:00 Shifta War 07:35 Somali Govt Collapse 11:55 Maritime Boundary Dispute
Somalis didn't expand their presence from north, they are indigenous to where they are in Somalia,Djibouti, NFD and the Somali region/Ogaden in Ethiopia.
And there are Maasai in Tz and Kenya, Luos and Lughyas in Ug, Oromos in Ethiopia and Kenya. So what's wrong with there being Kenyan Somalis? I bet most Kenyan Somali people today would rather have that Kenyan passport than a Somalia one.
It's the thing I don't get as a Kenyan because the Somalis own their own lands in these provinces I don't know why they are fighting for the land they already have
This is why pan africanism will never work Even though somali people helped kenyans during the mao mao rebellion The kenyans still betrayed them and kept Colonial borders insead of freeing fellow Africans
@@user-tk6lc8zv9cSomalis from north east ,did help with finances, especially somali businemen from Nairobi and thika at the tym ,I think you didn't attend classes za history jamaa😂
@@ggtl304 Where is Somalia in this?. I thought north eastern people are Kenyans despite being ethnic Somalis. If they did they didn't do it for Somalia where they didn't live . Everytime a Kenyan speaks like he is from Somalia isolates himself from other Kenyans.
@@mkenyamzalendo4130there’s 2 million Somali in Nairobi alone plus 10 million in whole country even though our Somali government no longer interested in territorial wars but it doesn’t mean we forget about our people and territories they will always be part of our nation
@@bugazi3037 well you’re dumb or braindead when claiming that there are 2M somali in Nairobi, dude do you know what you’re talking about??, Nairobi has a population of 4M are you insane to say half are Somali? Somalia as a country has a total of 17M people, where do you exactly get your figures from??. Like i said your little minds of entitlement is causing chaos in Sweden and north America….
Without the mention of Kenya's hospitality in hosting almost half of the population of Somalia as refugees in addition to us who are Kenyan somalis...This story is not complete but lacking the intricate bit about how Kenyan somalis ended up having an allegiance to Kenya
@@chance258 unified Somalia? Why? Even the failed state is trying to drag Somaliland down into chaos. I'm not interested. What am I unifying to do that I cannot do
Finally you are the first smart Somalian who has spoken about it.Remember we must identify a problem for us to solve it most Somalis insult Kenyans when we speak about the state of their country instead of collaborating to find ways to solve it
Unfortunately Kenya’s official state historiography has suppressed this tragic and traumatic history of my people. Despite being raised with stories and memories of state violence, we were never educated on this history. They tried to silence, burry or repress it; it’s a political taboo talking about Shifta liberation efforts. THANKS for creating such a well researched and informed documentary.
I can only imagine how horrible that is. I wouldn’t wish anyone to live in fear and witness bloody murder. I am sorry to hear of your pain under the thumb of the Government. I admit I do not know what Kenya’s official state historiography is. I would like to know more about it if at all possible. Indeed, the killing of thousands of people by the Kenyan army during the Shifta war was censored. This was one of the findings of the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission of Kenya. Whether genuine or not, President Kenyatta publicly admitted the atrocities live on the official government news channel after TJRC gave their report. He also put aside money adding the admission of guilt similar to the one by Nelson Mandela. TJRC hearings were live on three mainstream media channels including the Government channel. Things have changed after 2007. Speaking from personal experience, the plight of the Somal is more widely discussed. Late last year a discussion was had in a shuttle matatu I was in for the duration we were stuck in traffic about the Shifta war and the massacre. To be fair, I do live among the Borana and Sakuye. I learned a lot about the massacres passively. I learned about the Wagalla massacre and those two-page articles in the newspaper. Before that, I used to know it as the Moi massacre / village massacre / mass grave massacre. I learned about the Bulla Massacre and the Ethiopian Massacre from mainstream media. There are even some I vaguely remember like a failed East Africa coordinated coup that was brutally crushed. Citizen TV did a feature on the Wagalla Massacre. KTN and Citizen interviewed the surviving victims of the massacre. The Prime Minister visited the Wagalla Memorial. There was the repeal of the 1972 law and the prosecution of those responsible. Our school doesn’t teach about government massacres and manipulations in history class, just targeted assassinations and systematic oppression in a broader sense. That said all my early knowledge about Somali and Borana I learned from my neighbors but most of it I learned from my secondary school library. There was a book of essays and biographies called History of Africa in our school library. I went to a public school under the Free Day Secondary Education. If I didn’t go to Secondary school I would have been ignorant of the following probably until my adulthood. -The name Northern Frontier District. -The villagization and manipulation of the Boran through the massacre of their animals. -The Waso Borana boycott of the first elections. -The somalization of Borana in the 30s after their displacement from Wajir by the British due to religious fights; which subsequently led to their separation from their Ethiopian kin. -The Samburu were moved North by the British. -Gafa shifta, Somali Youth League, Northern People Party, Galla-Somali border, Daba camps -A DC of the NFD who was killed in the 60s -The state of emergency in the NFD in the 60s
Corrections: Thoes resposible were not procecuted. I meant to say 'There was the repeal of the 1972 law that prevented the prosecution of those responsible.' The book from Secondary school was the History in Africa Journal volume 23. The specific paper was Writing Biographies of Borana by Mario I. Aguilar who tries to present history from individual biographies as much as from archives.
We are all brother's and sisters. One Africa 🌍. We don't know eachother very well .we love eachother. Lets not see eachother through the enemies lens. Its enough for all of us. All we need is unity.

Without this NFD and some parts of Northern Kenya, Kenya would be a relatively wealthy country by African standards. Not even sure why they hold onto it so much.
@@JackChit-pv3dj It's our money that makes business in Kenya thrive . If you listen to our news or bother to know what makes Kenya great is our agriculture. It's the main driver of our economy. Those who do business take advantage of this. Those from Somalia who came as refugees changed Eastleigh when they found a country with a thriving economy and for survival did what they know to survive, business. Kenyans thrive in agriculture, business and manufacturing. Kenya's economy before somalian refugees came in 1990 was 8.75 billions USD and a per Capita of over 300 USD per annum. Somalia's GDP was 917m USD and a per Capita of 131 USD per annum. This has been one of the poorest countries in Africa and the world. What we see is pretence based on looking on one thing.
As a Somali, I don’t support Pan-Africanism because it is firmly against Somalia. Pan-Africanists will usually take the side of anyone opposing Somalia, yet simultaneously claiming that we are “all Africans” and should help one another. They have consistently betrayed & disappointed us. It’s clear Pan-Africanism has never had the interests of Somalia in mind.
