And the settlers will be South Indian, and we don't eat naan.
Damn right it's "naan"!!!
But we in Maharashtra eat normal rotis (not the tandoori variety), not naan. That's a more northern dish (Maharashtra is located in the centre, so we have the best of both worlds ).
So you'll force the Africans to eat delicious idlis and dosas and uttapams and stuff like that? Mmm, sounds tasty.
South Indian food
Imperialism
Tasty South Indian dishes imperialism
That reminds me - according to you, wasn't it the northies who came and conquered the south? Don't you call yourself a Dravida as opposed to me being Arya?
The last thing the Horn of Africa needs is more war - the place is enough of a mess without foreign powers sinking the place further with weapons and stoking more violence.
The reason the Islamist have won so much is, because just like in Afghanistan, they created a semblence of law and order unto the total anarchy that has engulfed the place.
Any poster here who thinks sanding weapons to Ethipopia will in the end help finish off the anarchy is either deluded or simply does not care that thousands more will die as long as it seems the "good guys" are winning....
What a sane international community would do is push both sides towards an armistace, fully and strictly enforec an arms embargo, and try to find partners to create enough stability for a semblence of civil society to resurface, maybe even work towards elections, with the assumption that the people of Somalia would not chose a hard line Islamic regime, but letting them have that choice anyways.
Of course, that would assume a sane international community....as can be seen from this thread, we obviously have no such thing.

Northies never conquered the South, they conquered the North and pushed us to the South
But only my Dad is Dravida, my Mom is Assamese.

O RLY?
Why is it then that the purest forms of the Vedic religion (the supposedly Arya religion) are practised in the South, even when the North could not preserve them in the face of Muslim attacks? Why is it that all our great heroes are dark-skinned (Rama, Krishna, Shiva, Vishna, everyone is dark-skinned)? Why have most of the later Great Hindu people come out of the South (Adi Shankara, Ramanuja, et al)?
I'd say that there was no invasion. But if you want to draw sustenance from this delusional fantasy, go right ahead. If that is the line you take, I'll prove to you that the South and North conquered each other simultaneously, thus making the whole divisiveness thing pointless.
The South conquered because its ideals of God (the trinity of B-V-M) conquered and supplanted the older Indra bunch and by preaching the purest forms of the Arya religion, whereas the North conquered by making its texts and ideals the standards under which the South could accomplish this. All the major Arya gods become dark-skinned, and all the South became the bastion of pure Hinduism.
So drawing distinctions now is meaningless - both have formed one unified culture, in which neither has lost anything of their past reverences, nor have there been any real racial conflicts (Indians are really one race, genetically, and the so-called differences between Arya and Dravida have been shown to be non-existent).
As for your mom coming from Assam - that's quite interesting. Assam is the only province of India which is relatively whole - it has never felt the crushing boot of Islamic imperialism. The Mughals alone tried to conquer it seventeen times. Each time, they were routed and thrown back. It is the only province with an unsullied history.
What's your lineage (if you don't mind me asking, that is)?

Aethiopia is the second fatherland for every Hindu
Then it is our dharmic duty to aid Ethiopia!
Onward, noble Kshatriya armies! To the Dharmayuddha!

Best make a new thread for this, so as not to threadjack. Somalia and Ethiopia don't often get threads of their own

Aren't the good guys a UN supported government?

Yeah. It's a bunch of kids typing on the internet that has made such a mess of the world.
