I’ve been to Djibouti. Like an impressionist painting, its beauty increases with distance. Preferably LOTS of distance.
Well, before you get probably get warned for that, I’d just like to point out that we aren’t children on this board, nor trained seals, so the dangling of a toy or dead fish isn’t likely to inspire a lot of positive response. I suggest in future you be direct about your debate topic and things will go a lot smoother.
Wait…where are these pictures of diseased yaks?

What are you, the riddle mafia?
Did I inadvertently insult your maturity or have I offended your sense of frankness? Duly noted and dismissed. It is my opinion that this game was entertaining, informative and relevant to pointing out Somaliland’s obscurity/international profile. You said your piece then during game-time; so, if you don’t like the debate now, you can go to another one.
Nope, not Somaliland. It does not fit the “has had it’s independence for just under 20 years” condition.
I have no idea in what you could mean by that.
Every time they have an earthquake, I tell the planet, “I like it when you shake Djibouti.”
My guess is Botswana. Independent since 1966, though.
EDIT: nope. No embargo against the country.
There’s a debate here now? What is it?
I’m glad this isn’t a thread about how great Rhodesia was.
Post #14.
Now I feel like starting a thread titled “Whither Somaliland?” which opens with a few well, formed paragraphs describing the geography, history, population and economy of the area, complete with links verifying same, and adding my personal opinion for the future of the region and some speculation on what is likely to make the situation better or worse over the next few years.
Don’t bother. All African threads are doomed to same racist nonsense.
This is a crappy list
Libya was never a British colony.
Briefly under mandate after kicking out the Italians in WWII.
Somaliland
Italian colony
Gotta go…I’ll be in my white supremacists bunker…
Djibouti! Djibouti! That country’s hard to get!
Djibouti! Djibouti! But you can visit it yet!
Back in '77, when we were in Salisbury …
TWEEET!
Enough with the claims of boredom, the nasty comments about personal sexual habits, and any other bit of slop you may feel the need to toss into this thread.
Either address the topic or don’t post. If one feels compelled to make insulting comments, take it to the Pit.

What, nothing for the OP for making this a “guess the debate” and being a bit of a twit about it?
Damn, I was hoping this would get Argent Towers out of the woodwork. 
Elmie, there are websites that non-jokingly have such nostalgia.
