description: The Horn of Africa, the scene of Somali Nationalism , is the vast, arid triangle lying against the Indian Ocean and contains French Smaliland, the Somali Republic made up of the former British and Italian Somalilands, and those substantial parts of Kenya and Ethiopia in which Somalis live. Somali nationalism feeds, as does that of other African and Asian peoples, on the concept of self-determination, and aspires to the political unification of all this territory of some 374,000 square miles into a single "Greater Somalia."
