Do we need land acknowledgements in Somalia?

[AbrahamFreedom]

In Canada, we do land acknowledgements for the specific Ali Beysteen tribe whose land we are currently on. Many organizations would usually write them on their website and a few progressives I have had the displeasure of emailing would have them on their email signatures and even their voicemail. I dont have an issue with them as I believe Canada is their land. Its one of the very few things I agree with the far left. The most aggressive wording I have seen was "we are guests" no longer applying but now using "unwanted guests" and "occupying colonizers". And "unceded land" to now "stolen and plundered land".

I wonder if we need to do this in Somalia too, but for the people Somalis have stolen the land from. Somalia needs a truth and reconciliation commission not just for the civil war among Somali clans but well past that time too. The Somali Madhibaan, Oromos and Bantus need to be included as part of Somalia's truth and reconciliation process due to ancient crimes. Below is an example in Toronto, a very tame one. Land acknowledgements can be used as one of many tools to rectify your ancestors' wrongdoing.

We acknowledge that the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and, most recently, the territory of the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation. The territory was the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement among the Iroquois Confederacy and the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes.

This territory is also covered by the Upper Canada Treaties.

Today, the meeting place of Toronto (from the Haudenosaunee word Tkaronto) is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work in the community, on this territory.

Kacaan gave lots of jarer lands to mx but idk about any native oromos living in somalia, I do know they were a significant enslaved demographic but they probably went back to Ethiopia after italians freed them, it was mostly women so those that stayed mixed with the freed bantu men
