Golden Chains[edit]

The line in question is "The Macrobians were a regional power reputed for their advanced architecture and gold wealth, which was so plentiful that they shackled their prisoners in golden chains."

I'm not so sure that the source here is reliable. It is a religious text, and I can't find any other sources for this claim. I would contend that it should be removed unless a better source can be found. Let me know if I need to request this in another way, I'm not too familiar with edits that aren't basic.

This Wikipedia page divides people from Somalia into those from Somalia and those from Somaliland. There’s no recognized country called Somaliland. Not only that but the semi-autonomous secessionist government that calls itself “Somaliland” does not control former British Somaliland territories. As of August 2023, SSC-Khatumo which controls the region between Puntland and “Somaliland” is became a recognized state within Somalia. It’s irresponsible reporting to define Somaliland as a separate entity from Somalia when: 1) Somaliland is not a recognized nation and by international law is part of Somalia 2) What’s designated as “Somaliland” isn’t fully under the control of the separatist Somaliland government

As someone from Northwest Somalia (Waqooyi Galbeed), I hope this can fixed because we see ourselves as part of Somalia not a separate country. 2603:8000:8E40:165D:1438:740C:4CF3:5759 (talk) 18:08, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Banadiri is not a somali and there is no such a thing as a northern dialect it is af-maxa (do not write about someone else's history if you do not know a thing and that is a given) 176.42.132.202 (talk) 19:48, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
