So here's a challenge to you all, with a PoD in the 1700s-1900s (I would prefer 1900s, which is why I put this here, but earlier is fine), create a TL in which Somalia is stable, prosperous, and possibly even a democratic nation.
I'd like to think that if the Ethiopian empire didn't fall in 74 the entire Horn of Africa would be much better off. The spread of revolutionary sentiment was too much for the weaker nations.
