Somaliland seafaring Community of Tiger Bay Cardiff 1983

[@januarySl2024]

Somalilanders have great sea-faring history in the United Kingdom, especially in Cadif and Liverpool the two largest and most famous British seaports. Somalilanders began their sea-faring careers in Britain with the beginnig of British colonial occupation of Somaliland in 1884. For 76 years starting from that date, Somaliland was a British Protectorate which ended in 26 June 1960. Somalilanders are brave, proud people who adore teavel and adventure and their foefathers breaved the hazards of working on the World's oceans for great parts of their lives, sometimes not seeing their families for years. In the two World Wars many Somalilander seamen were sunk with their ships in the North Sea by German submarines or war planes while contributing to the war efforts of the Allies. Somalilander soldiers likewise, heroically sacrificed their lives in the great jungles of Burma fighting along side British soldiers against Japan and in the great landing of the Western Allies on the northern coast of France on D-Day 1945 to free France and Europe from NAZI German occupation. Somaliland's soldiers took part, too, as colonial soldiers in the British wars in East Africa, South Africa, Somaliland, Ethiopia and Somalia in World War l and ll.
