I don't know much about ECOWAS, but this always sticks in my mind: Map of ECOWAS countries: Map of countries currently using the CFA currency, controlled and issued by France: Map of countries intending to go over to the Eco currency, managed by ECOWAS to replace the CFA, so that France has less direct/obvious of a hand in controlling that economic zone: Edit: Obviously that map is before Mali, Niger and Burkino Faso's news.

Better to just blandly praise the empty signifiers everyone in the US loves like "freedom" and "democracy", which is what they've all been doing since the 1950s anyway.

Um, am I correct in thinking Somalia is peopled almost exclusively by Somalis? Rather than being only just more than half like Elmi claims in that article. E: did not realise Traore was only a captain. I wonder how much being such a hunk has helped him gain his current position. Weka has issued a correction as of 07:26 on Jan 31, 2024 |

Technically Somalia is either 98 or 85 Somali depending on who you ask. 98 percent Somali is if you go by Somali speaking like other countries, 85 percent is if you go by traditional Somali laws which state that you have to be descended from the guy named Somali, which no one does outside of “Somalilanders” so they can claim they’re more racially pure than what they call “Somalians”.

For my particular family and clan in Somaliland we trace it back to Isaaq who supposedly immigrated from Yemen 13 generations ago. Kinda doubt the historicity tho lol.

Isaaq was 23 generations ago I believe? Anyway all of that is nonsense, I agree, but it’s socially believed in and therefore in a way real. My sub-clan supposedly was “ cursed” with being wealthy but never having political power by our clan patriarch for spilling milk or something, and therefore coincidentally people prefer to hire my patriclan as ceos and trust them with money but never vote for them in elections.

What is so implausible about the story of Isaaq? Just that all Isaaq people are descended from one dude?

Weka posted:What is so implausible about the story of Isaaq? Just that all Isaaq people are descended from one dude? I suppose. He's a pretty famous sheik from Yemen and there have been various kingdoms and sultanates originating from Somaliland that claimed direct descendent from him. Probably true enough considering how genealogy works (i.e. 12 percent of people on Earth being descended from Genghas Khan). The questionable aspect is what it is used to justify, sort of like what PawPatrol was talking about his family myth and being CEOs.
