Somalis

Somalis are an ethnic group that is indigenous to the Horn of Africa. They are a prehistoric mix of ancient North Africans (Afro-Asiatic) & Nilo-Saharans (Proto-Nilotes). They are beautiful/handsome people with dark reddish brown-skin, full lips, straight or aquiline noses, & straight, wavy, curly, or kinky hair. Ethnic Somalis are NOT Arabs they are Cushites who are indigenous East Africans. They are also pastoralists with rich ancient history.
Barkhad Cabdi, Iman Abdulmajid, Farmaajo, Amaal Nuux, & Ilhan Omar are all ethnic Somalis.

somalian

An incorrect grammar form of the standard term "Somali". Calling someone from one of the Somali states (such as Puntland / Jubaland) a Somalian, is like calling a German a Germanian.
I'm not a Somalian, whatever that means. I'm a Somali.

Libertarians-in-Somalia

The act of giving a party exactly what they ask for, with the intent to demonstrate flaws. Taken from the idea that if Libertarians, who claim to want almost no governmental control, were made to live in Somalia, an actual near-lawless state, they would change their views.
Letting my son stay up as long as he wants is like Libertarians in Somalia: everything he claims to want, and it's killing him.

My son wouldn't drop his insistence at a later bedtime, so I adopted a Libertarians-in-Somalia approach. He always goes to bed on time now.

somalitarian

"Somalitarian" is an extreme form of Libertarian, who advocates no taxation, no regulations and no government, just like the situation in Somalia.
"Why should I pay taxes? All of these regulations make me sick. Get your government's hand out of my pocket."

"What a silly Somalitarian".

Somaliland

Somaliland (Somali: Soomaaliland, Arabic: أرض الصومال‎ Arḍ aṣ-Ṣūmāl) is an unrecognised self-declared sovereign state that is the successor state to the British Somaliland protectorate.

Somaliland is bordered by Ethiopia in the south and west, Djibouti in the northwest, the Gulf of Aden in the north, and the autonomous Puntland region of Somalia to the east.

In 1988, the Siad Barre regime committed massacres against the people of Somaliland, which were among the events that led to the Somali Civil War. The war left the economic and military infrastructure severely damaged. After the collapse of the central government in 1991, the local government, led by the Somali National Movement (SNM), declared independence from the rest of Somalia on May 18 of the same year.
