Somalie (pronounced /soʊˈmɑːliə/ Template:Respell; Somali: Soomaaliya; Arabic: الصومال aṣ-Ṣūmāl), offeecially the Republic o Somalie (Somali: Jamhuuriyadda Soomaaliya, Arabic: جمهورية الصومال Jumhūriyyat aṣ-Ṣūmāl) an formerly kent as the Somali Democratic Republic under communist rule, is a kintra located in the Horn o Africae. It is bordered bi Djibouti to the northwast, Kenya to the soothwast, the Gulf o Aden with Yemen to the north, the Indien Ocean to the aest, an Ethiopia to the wast. With the longest coastline on the continent, its terrain consists mainly of plateaus, plains an highlands.
In antiquity, Somalie wis an important center for commerce with the rest o the ancient warld. Its sailors an merchants war the main suppliers of frankincense, myrrh an spices, items which war considered valuable luxuries bi the Ancient Egyptians, Phoenicians, Mycenaeans an Babylonians with whom the Somali fowk traded. The ancient Puntites were a nation of people that had close relations with Pharaonic Egypt during the times o Pharaoh Sahure an Queen Hatshepsut. The pyramidal structures, temples an ancient houses o dressed stone littered around the country are said to date from this period. During the Middle Ages, several pouerful Somali empires dominated the regional trade, including the Ajuuraan State, the Sultanate of Adal, the Warsangali Sultanate an the Gobroon Dynasty.
Somalie wis never formally colonized. Muhammad Abdullah Hassan's Dervish State successfully repulsed the Breetish Empire fowerr times and forced it to retreat to the coastal region. Due to these successful expeditions, the Dervish State wis recognized as an ally bi the Ottoman an German Empires. The Turks also named Hassan Emir o the Somali nation, an the Germans promised to offeecially recognize any territories the Dervishes wur to acquire. After a quarter o a century of holding the Breetish at bay, the Dervishes were finally defeated in 1920 as a direct consequence of Britain's new policy of aerial bombardment. As a result of this bombardment, former Dervish territories war turned into a protectorate o Breetain. Italy faced similar opposition from Somali Sultans an armies, an did not acquire full control o parts o modern Somalie until the Fascist era in late 1927. This occupation lasted until 1941, an wis replaced bi a Breetish military administration. Northren Somalie would remain a protectorate, while soothren Somalie became a trusteeship. The Union o the twa regions in 1960 formed the Somali Republic. A civilian government wis formed, an on 20 Julie 1961, through a popular referendum, a new constitution that haed first been drafted the year before wis ratified.
