the Wa Boni who are not even Somalis their name stem from the Somali word boon, and Wa Boni came about when colonial officers and explorers were told by Somali levies "Waa Boon" referring to a group of Gallas and other people groups. Boon its an old Somali term, it has been used as a derogatory term for a long time by Somalis, its perhaps even older than Midgaan, Gabooye, Yibir etcThey suffer from historical habaar perhaps?
For example, one of the Marehan guys on this forum is actually an Oromo-Borana according to his DNA results. I can @ his name, but I am being nice, for now.
The others that have been tested all have different paternal Haplogroups aka forefathers. Maybe this is why they are obsessed with calling strange men "Aabbo", as they don't know who their ancestral "Aabbo" really is.
I always did wonder why their leader during the Abyssinian Conquest had a Habesha Coptic Christian name (Goita Tedros) and why they call themselves Boon (East African Hunter-gatherers) during Colonialism.
In short, Marehans on this forum are not even being qabiilist, it's far worse, they are lost Oromo xenophobes and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
