First time I've seen a non Warsangeli with Haplogroup J. Very interesting.

Well according to Geerst he says that according to the Old Egyptian Kingdom sources, Kerma was Cushitic. Also the Noobin load words from Cushitic languages would mean that the original inhabitants were such. This is fact!

In Futuh Al Habasha, the Gurggura and the Barsuug are both counted as Somali clans. The Patron Saint Aw Bube is also considered to have been Gurgura Madahweyne Dir and he is mentioned by name in Futuh Al Habasha

I was only intrigued by his comment on Kooshin being Kush. I thought he might have something else to say.

If you read the page it says the Samaroon clan ancestor is buried in Sanaag Region which would mean that his descendants repopulated and returned back to the West. However that could be just a mythical story. However, don't be surprised by the fact that the Afars were present in Awdal. It's...

@James Dahl What do you think? What is your assumption about Irir Samaale, the great ancestor?

Within the past two years I've seen so many Somali men marrying non Somali girls. It used to be mainly girls before but now the guys are doing it too. It's sad. Somalis should stick to each other in my view. We already have it tough. SMH

Why would that imply that Makidoor was the mother's clan name? Is that a stipulation? Just because thats the traditions of the Isaaq, you can't use that as an example. Would you argue that Gidir is a clan? Or Awal is a clan? Also many of the older writers use to call Garhajis, as Habar...

Habar comes from the mother of both Makahil and Maxamed Case, they make up Habar Makadur i.e Makaahiil Makadur and Maxamed Makadur are collectively known as Habar Makadur. Makadur was the son of Samaroon, the clan ancestor.

I'm talking about the civilizations which were older than Meroe. Kerma for example was Cushitic. I'm also reading new discoveries that the A culture was also Cushitic

The hero and Patron Saint Aw Bube, born of the Madahweyne branch of the Dir clan family. His tomb is buried in the ancient town of Halua, now famously named after the Patron Saint and hero Aw Bube. Today his tomb lies about 30km west of Borama in the ancient and ruined town across the border in...

Not true. Before the arrival of Nilo Saharan speakers. Lower Nubia and Upper Egypt was fully "Cushitic". Kerma and most other ancient civilization were "Cushitic" and NOT Nilo Saharan.

Depends on who you ask, according to Richard Pankhurst they were Samaroon and that's consistent with geography. Plus your wrong to say that it's Makidoor without the prefix Habar. The clan is very well known as Habar Makadoor. Here the 'R' is even silent. So please be careful with...

@James Dahl Here you can see the book: Here is the Gadabuursi Dir lineage, however as you can see from Irir ending to Abu Talib there was a process of arabization. The book is a very old book in the Somali languagez written by Sheekh Cabdiraxman Sheekh Nuur. The founder of the...
