A lot of misconceptions by the ana Arab crew here.
- Pan-Arabism was a Colonial imposition by France and England.
- A lot of Somalis and Muslims today are historically illiterate, Pan-Arabism goal was to dismantle the Ottoman empire, ironically it was the Arabs encouraged by the British/French who chose Nationalism over dheen.
- Among the member-states of the so-called Arab league, there is not a single one inhabited by a Arab population.
- In reality, the Lebanese are Phoenicians, Arabic speaking Syrians and Iraqis are Aramaeans. So are the Palestinians and the Kuwaitis, as well as the Emiratis and the Qataris, who have historically mixed with the Persians. Egyptians are Copts, Sudanese are descendants of the ancient Cushites or Meroites (whom the Ancient Greeks and Romans called Ethiopians and Nubians). Libyans and the people of the Maghreb are descendants of the Hamatic people of the great Atlas, Berbers are a amalgamation of Phoenicians, Carthaginians and Romans. Yemenites are Yemenites, descendants of the ancient states of Saba (Sheba)and Qataban, they are closer to Abyssinians than the Arabs of the Hedjaz.
- Finally, Somalis are Cushitic Blacks, you have more in common with the Oromo, Saho, Afar, than a North African/Middle Eastern descendant. Hell, even the Semetic Habesha is closer to you in geography, phenotype and genotype than the aforementioned groups.
