Sub-Saharan Africa 110 years ago today: Belgian Congo (15 Nov 1908) https://buff.ly/2TdKbGY News of atrocities in the Congo Free State - personally ruled by King Leopold II of Belgium since the 1880s - led to public outcry in the early 20th century. Bowing to international pressure, the parliament of Belgium annexed the territory as the Belgian Congo in November 1908, bringing an end to an exploitative regime which had presided over some 6-10 million native deaths. #subsaharanafrica #history #welovemaps #map #1900s #1908 #africa #africanhistory #belgianempire #congofreestate #belgiancongo #colonialism #ethiopia #frenchempire #italy #kufrah #november #november15 #ogaden #somalia #congobasin #wadai #maps #todayinhistory #historyteacher #historybuff #historynerd #historytoday #historygeek #colonialism (at Kinshasa, Congo) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqNju8rgQfT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=65zx1evu8ycy

Southern Asia 75 years ago today: Fall of Singapore (15 Feb 1942) http://omniatlas.com/maps/southasia/19420215/ By February 1942 the Japanese forces invading Malaya had reached the perimeter of Singapore, Britain’s most important military base in Southeast Asia and the keystone of British defences in the region. Despite facing just 36,000 Japanese, the 85,000 troops in Singapore capitulated after only a week of fighting - a humiliating defeat and the largest surrender of British-led forces in history. #southasia #history #welovemaps #1940s #1942 #australia #burma #ethiopia #february #february15 #greatbritain #haud #indonesia #japan #malaysia #maps #netherlands #ogaden #singapore #somalia #somaliland #thailand #unitedstates #worldwarii (at Singapore)

Alternate Somali flag

(First posted on the 17th February, 2018)

I've read recently about the pre-Islamic phase of Somali history, particularly in writing the language; (here's an example in relation to this topic) since it's actually part of an ongoing series of ATL stop signage across Africa, I've decided to use the Old South Arabian alphabet as ATL Somali writing system, and with a surprising twist: in this scenario, Somali is written in this script, an abjad, from left to right. In addition, the Somali territory in this scenario is a bit larger as it incorporated the Ogaden region.

The design of the alternate Somali flag is actually a variation of what you've seen in robo-diglet's Uncolonized Africa: Flags (Sultanate of Somalia, more specifically). Both designs combined the elements of OTL Somali flag and the flag of the Ajuran Sultanate. Created and edited on MS Paint and Photoscape.
