Taariikh.org: History Before the Borders
A Somali history archive tracing Greater Somalia, colonial partition, independence, and the region’s continuing political memory.
Field notes
The homepage uses a three-part editorial structure: contextual background, a historical timeline, and linked articles. Its scope is unusually explicit, separating the cultural and historical idea of Greater Somalia from the sovereign Republic of Somalia and naming five associated regions or territories. The timeline foregrounds partition-era events, the 1943 Somali Youth League, the 1960 union and independence, and the contested 1963 Northern Frontier District referendum.
