For some Neighbor States like Ethiopia and Kenya it is a Strategy for defeating the Pan-Somalia Dream. The smaller pieces of a pie are easier to eat it Many historians of Somalia are convinced that Tribal community political ideologies only developed in contact with the European ‘thinking about tribes’ which the missionaries and colonial officers brought to Somalia. Early 19th Century Colonialism drew borders which did not exist and threw together Somali people who would ordinarily have lived together into one Somali nation and nationality. During the colonial era, the Europeans used various approaches to dominate the Somali tribes. In varying degrees, the French, British and Italians tried to transform the Somalis into five colonial regions in Horn of Africa (NFD, Ogadenia, French Djibouti, British Colonial and Italian Colonial).. Like any cultural group that was arbitrarily divided at the Scramble for Africa, Somalis will not stop with the dream of reunification of all their population into a greater Somalia.
