1) The Bantu expansion did not reach Somalia. Period. I'm sorry to tell you, but these commodities(oops I mean slaves) were imported by the SOMALI STATE to work on OUR farms. Over 50,000 slaves were being sold in Somali ports every year as well. Some of those slaves escaped inside Somalia. We will recapture them and sell them back to Tanzania and Mozambique soon.
2) You haven't refuted what I've said. There is no genetic distinction between the Madhibaan and Darood. Both have the E1B1b haplogroup, and both are 100 % Somali genetically. They may have been a pre-Somali Cushitic group 1500 years ago(which I doubt), but today they're Somalis. The UK aristocracy are descended from Norman lineage (meaning they are not even native to the British isles) whereas the Somalis and these so called "Pre-Cushitic clans" (who are now Somali) are both native to the Horn of Africa. If so, then we were simply the superior civilization and conquered them. I would have no problems if they conquered us. But you cannot hold on to the fact that they came from different backgrounds 1000 years ago to say that they aren't Somali, because the separate Somali identity was only formed recently (less than 1000 years ago) when we became Muslim. Perhaps they decided to not become Muslim? There are Somali clans who were Oromo 100 years ago, and I don't understand why you're obsessed with clans who could have been non-Somali 1000 years ago. The reason why you want to deem them as a separate ethnic group is so that you can divide Somalia further and exploit our resources. I don't even believe that they were non Somali 1500 years ago, but probably proto-Somali. Why don't you ASK them yourself? Why do you want to FORCE an identity upon people just like how you FORCED colonization on us?
Somalis were known as Berbers during that time. He was described as speaking both Arabic and Somali.
Due to cosmopolitan nature of Islamic states, there was no such thing as ethnic nationalism during those days. In fact, the modern day Egyptian state was founded by an Albanian.
"After the French were expelled, power was seized in 1805 by
Muhammad Ali Pasha, an
Albanian military commander of the Ottoman army in Egypt. While he carried the title of
viceroy of Egypt, his subordination to the Ottoman porte was merely nominal. Muhammad Ali
massacred the Mamluks and established a
dynasty that was to rule Egypt until the revolution of 1952."
Just because a minister may have been Arab, does not change the fact that Xamar was ruled by a Somali. Or the fact that all Muslims were part of Adal, does not change the fact that Adal was composed of mainly Somalis and so on. The Mayor of London today is a Pakistani. I guess London is part of some sort of Pakistani civilization right?
