Don't you have some blood drinking ceremony to be attending somewhere in Nilotistan?
@Jas saxiib I thought we were on the same team
Just banter for me. I love all Somalis. Just a bit of fun and jokes.
You can joke about my alleged Oromoness too, it's fine
Maya kuma hadli karo af Oromo.
I need to learn my qoti language and link with muh rootz.
Our homeland is from Jigjiga all the way to Hargeisa but we lost many in number to due ironically, Oromo persecution and today I'm getting called Oromo, when I'm pure Dir.
What is aduunta?
@Jas
Still claiming Akisho and trolling?

The Afran Qallo Jaarso clan is a confederation; only some of its subclans are of Somali origin. Not all their Somali subclans are Dir by the way as evinced by subclan names such as Warra Absame. In actual fact, most Oromo speaking Somalis became Oromised through adoption of a sedentary lifestyle and intermarriage. Afran Qallo in itself is not a pure Oromo clan, but a confederation that contains subclans of Somali; Oromo; Harla; Afar; Agrobba etc. Its core might have been Oromo but it is an ethnically mixed clan group today. For instance, the Afran Qallo Babille subclan is mainly Karanle and Gugundhabe Hawiye whilst Warra Bursuk is the Barsuug/Barsub Dir clan identified by Richard Burton.
Some of you are talking shit about the Akisho/Gurre without even know who they are or where they live. Most people only assume Somali-speaking Akishos are the few that are found in Fafaan, Fiq and Gabiley. The majority of the Akisho/Gurre are still Somali speaking and have their own districts in Southern K5: Guradhamole, Gorobaqasa, Qarsadula. It is only the ones who live in East Hararghe that identify with the Oborra Afran Qallo subclan due to intermarriage and the adoption of a sedentary lifestyle.
When were the Gurgura ever forcibly Oromised? They were never Oromised but the majority who adopted farming established cultural and linguistic ties with the Noole Oromo whilst maintaining their distinct Gurgura clan identity. The pastoral ones that live in Shinille and extend all the way to the Fiq are monolingual Somali speakers. The countryside surrounding Dire Dawa is inhabited by them and the Ciise. However, as the second city of Ethiopia, Dire Dawa is not a provincial capital like Jijiga, hence it attracts all sorts of migrants from across Ethiopia. You have Amharas, Gurages etc. living in Dire Dawa. It is no different than metropolitan Addis Ababa where the Oromos are not the majority despite being the dominant ethnic group in the rural arears. Oromo economic migrants have increasingly sought refuge in Dire Dawa, however, their main hope of laying claim to the whole of Dire Dawa rests on them convincing the Gurgura to identify as Oromo. Their attempts to have the Gurgura identify as Oromo have so far failed.

The last time they tried to claim Dire Dawa militarily during the Ethiopian Civil War of the early 90's, they were turfed out of the city the Issa and Gurgura Liberation Front (IGLF).

Dire Dhabe is huge. It is well over 1,000 square kilometers. Isa and Gurgura are still the majority. The mayor is Dir. It is a chartered city (for now), and as such, all Ethio ethnicities are found in the city, just like Addis. Surrounding the city are all Dir settlements. Isa is expanding into Oromo and Afar lands. Dir will always eat good in their land with or without Ethiopian government,
