In this Frontpage Mag article, Daniel Greenfield exposes the dark secret behind Somali “independence” celebrations in American cities: they are not harmless cultural events but calls for a “Greater Somalia” that would require conquering parts of Ethiopia, Kenya, Djibouti, and Somaliland.
- The five-pointed star on the Somali flag symbolizes the five points of Greater Somalia, fueling ongoing irredentist claims that have historically led to invasions and jihadist conflicts, including the 1977 war against Ethiopia.
- Many Somali “refugees” in the U.S., including figures tied to Rep. Ilhan Omar’s family, come from clans linked to the murderous Marxist regime of Siad Barre, which received Soviet backing before turning to the U.S. after its failed expansionist wars.
- Somali settler communities in states like Minnesota promote conquest of Ethiopia’s Ogaden region and defend alliances with jihadists like Hamas, while ignoring atrocities against Christians in the area.
- American states and cities participating in these events are unwittingly advancing a revanchist agenda that risks dragging the U.S. into future conflicts, as Somali elites exploit migration to advance their territorial dreams from within.
