Kane, I sometimes question your IQ levels. Are so you removed from history and reality? Or are you a troll? Iranian, Arab and Indian merchants have been in the city for at least 700 yrs. Do you think that in medieval Somalia patriarchy wasn’t a thing? Do you think these Somali women of old who married these traders did so out of β€˜love’? This is what extreme gender politics and redpill leads to, mindless garbage that’s ahistorical to the point of embarrassment.

Let me enrage you even more, during the time of Burton, non Somali Harari leaders would often take on a Somali first wife and it would always be arranged by her powerful Ugaas fathers who wanted a strong political alliance. It’s the same for interior clans giving their daughters to these Arab merchants-it was based on politics and money and the β€˜feelings’ of the women married off wasn’t part of the equation.

Marrying out of one’s group for politics and alliances is an old arrangement common in the medieval period.

This has nothing to do with the women, but the patriarchs. These arrangements were the very definition of patriarchy.
 
Let me tell you the biggest issue and I’m going to have some attack me here. Ethnic Somalis are filled with hatred towards each other and many would rather foreigners take credit than a Somali from a different qabil. I’ve literally heard Daroods and Isaaqs doubt that Xamar was led by Abgaals or Hawiyes in general. Anti dark skin sentiments are also rife with footo madow when the average Isaaq and Darood is also dark skin. I also don’t think Hawiyes are innocent in all this as well. But I’m being honest here. If we tear each other down ultimately WE Somalis regardless of tribe will look like fools because on the world stage we are all the same. The same people who are trying to claim the history of Xamar are also trying to claim the history of Zeila.
When did we ever discredit anyone’s history or troll anyone?
Heck, there’s solid evidence that Ahmed Gurey was Hawiye but we still let em take the W.

We’ve shared our Laandheere history and lineage with them. They couldn’t even preserve their own abtirs, and now many of them are out here LARPing as midnight Hashemites with a full-blown identity crisis…. And Let me guess, that’s also somehow our fault???
I don’t know how they think attacking the Somali brand will do them any favours. They have a deep resentment toward the Hawiye, but the rest of us are unfamiliar with these people and see them as Shisheeye. And a lot of the time, it’s the same Hawiye they despise who try to prove their Somaliness to the rest of us.
When in doubt, always blame Hawiya.
Trust me, more of them dislike all ethnic Somalis than any one group in particular. Their male social rituals almost always include a mandatory Halimo slander sessions :banderas: .

We already know this and unlike y’all, we’re too laandheere to care.

All we’re saying is, yall gotta stop the obsession with them and Somali Bantus. Both are Somalis by nationality. No need to spam the J word all over the internet. Accept it and keep it pushing.

Nah. No respectable father would let his son, let alone his daughter marry some random trader or mercenary’s daughter. Few exceptions happened but exceptions =\= the norm.

The wives of the non Somal Hariri sultans were Somali women who were the daughters of Ugaases and tribal leaders. We have evidence for this.

The ruler of Zeila’s son was married to an Arab woman whose people were wealthy traders. We know that Arabs are strict with female out marriages but they facilitated it be because it benefited them.

You are looking at history through a lens of what you think it should be. As for norm, of course it wasn’t but these marriages were arranged, that’s my point and it’s a fact. The ethnic Somali great grandmother of a cadcad didn’t get married for love and run off with a man she barely understood. They married in a traditional way in which fathers were asked and gifts were exchanged. You are projecting your modern sensibilities.

Also, this idea of respectability is ridiculous. We literally have a Somali tribe with Mehr Arab origins who have been marrying MJ women for centuries that now the tribe is Somali and is heavily close to and affiliated with Puntland and Mjs. You lot need to stop conflating modernism to historical marriages.

And vice versa, with MJs and other Harti who were matched with Southern Semitic women in Oman and beyond. People have become radicalised with this red-pill talk where they forget that people have always intermarried if it suited them. Especially if there is power to be gained. It's only since the civil war that the Somali brand has become tarnished, but before that, people would be lucky to marry a Somali.

Somalis were on-par with or far wealthier than other nations, we all know by know that Somalis gave charity to Arabs not long ago.

Why do you think it's funded by Om#n?

Watch the video I posted. The sister discussed how Om@n wanted their propaganda taught in Somali schools. In addition, the past few years there has been an increase in propaganda from these people, along with Persians, trying to claim they founded or ran Somali coastal towns in the South.

The issue is not with some random CadCad woman or man, it's with the politically nefarious group among them who operate as a Trojan horse for foreign powers. Or at least, help spread lies about our history.

My biggest issue is the lack of historical accuracy. Somalis have always been an insular patriarchal group so it’s an insanity to me to frame the mixed heritages of Reer Xamaris to be the same as a modern IR union-it wasn’t. Some of these wealthy traders that wanted to cement an alliance with local tribes would seek wives in the most traditional manner. How would they even begin to get to know a Somali woman who would be in the midst of her tribes men herding? These men would have to go into the interior, speak to tribal elders and forge a union via speaking to the men. That is how these marriages came about. Somalis were incredibly territorial and Ajnabis would have to be escorted and be introduced via another Somali.

Even Inter qabil marriages worked that way. Somalis would exchange women after heavy tribal warfare and disputes or sometimes a woman’s sub sub clan might be decimated and run off the land and the women would be found by Somalis of other tribes and then married off or sadly taken in by the men who fought her tribe.

I don’t think they realize how the lives of women was so different to today modern world. Most Somalis have a great great grandmothers of different tribes and it wasn’t because their great ayeeyos fell in love with a man of a different tribe, it was because of conflict resolution, trade deals or the men in her sub clan being finished off.

Yep

Somali women were stolen, given away and all sorts. I read about what that Sayid Abdulle did after his group decimated a Somali clan. He and his men would take Somali girls as wives, as if permission or consent was ever given. It was nothing more than rape, plain and simple. I am sure Somali women were treated like cattle, look at how some of them speak in 2025.

Modern Somali women and modern women in general are very lucky.

Don't ever dare talk about Somali women and foreign men, as if Somali men are innocent bystanders. It's a lovely thing when a Somali woman has the choice to marry a foreigner. Because in reality, there are plenty of pimps afoot.

1. AlShabab foreign demons are given Somali 'wives' by SOMALI MEN.
Even girls/women who are already married. I find it so amusing when people pretend there is some mass-ethnic loyalty or 'qeerah' over Somali women.

2. Somali male translators pimp girls to AMISOM and I bet, other ajnabi.

And finally, don't forget about the Somali 'fathers' that give their little girls away for some camels to an older man. And then the girl cannot escape her 'husband' because she's treated like a sold adoon. Or, wait, is it better if a girl/woman is sold by her own daddy to a Somali man?

Let's be real, you and your ilk don't care about the female gender, you just want the abuse of Somali women/girls to be exclusively at the hands of Somali men.

Sounds more civilised than Somali men in 2025, scarily enough. Now even a toddler girl can't walk 2 meters out of the house without fear of rape.

This is why I dislike women who rally against the ability for women to work. If it wasn't for basic freedoms, women would be treated like Ari again.
