What you need to know:

Following tensions between Uganda and Tanzania in 1972, OAU secretary general approached Kenya to mediate. However the Jomo Kenyatta government declined. With Kenya refusing to mediate, three other heads of state agreed to take on the task, but it was Somali president Siad Barre who succeeded and came up with a five-point peace plan.

Somalia is getting on its feet gradually and is on its way to becoming way much stronger than what it used to be in the 70s.

Yeah, that was in 1974.

Could you imagine that Siad Barre didn't steal a penny from Somalia. Neither did he mismanage funds. He didn't even have a single house of his own, neither did any of his children. whether in Somalia or abroad. He even refused to send any of his children to go study abroad or live a luxury life, like most of Africa's heads of state are known to do.

Mark my word, in just a couple of years, you'll see intimidating military arsenal in this parade, as the fuc.king embargo on Somalia is now lifted.

Lately, among Somalis, there have been discussions on whether Somalia should make its army and defence one of its priorities. But since this entertaining MoU has emerged, all Somalis without exception are now on the very same page - that rebuilding our army should be made the first and foremost priority, as we can't afford to take bullsh.it from Ethiopia. Ethiopia knows only violence and trustworthiness is not part of its poor vocabulary.

Soon we'll reclaim our territories currently occupied by Ethiopia, and no one would be stop this as long as the Somalis in this territories are willing to join the rest of Somalia. But for them to be willing to join us, we've got to make Somalia great again and this time around booming economically.
