The equator devides the earth into North and South, and because majority of our country is located above the equator. That is why they're saying we're more Northeast.

But we're the Horn of Africa no one can take that away from us.

Comparing Somalis—who have historic ties to the Swahili coastal civilization and comprise the third-largest ethnic group in Kenya—to Eritreans, who are confined to a small corner of Northeast Africa, is misguided. Somalia played a key role in mediating peace between Uganda and Tanzania, and also supported South Africans and other independence movements. Today, Somalis are among the most prominent traders in Southeast and Central Africa. You cannot exclude Somalis from East Africa, nor can you pigeonhole us as merely “Horn Africans.”

Even in the ancient times, horn African-like Cushitic cultures were spread as far as Uganda. They also impacted groups like Tutsi .

"legacy" he says. literally a colonial legacy. British East Africa was called just that because they didn't care one bit about the natural borders that had developed over the last 2000 years. Luhya? Luo? Same thing. Bantu? Nilotic? Who cares? Niggas are flexing postal stamps colonial officer used to send pictures of Nairobi's first road back to the UK. Shame.

"east african" is an identity put onto us by OTHER blacks when we moved to the west because they find us distinct. They now get angry at us for the label they made for us in the first place.

this is why i just go by "horn african"

Horn African isn't any better, we're somali we are distinct from our habesha relatives in language and in culture. When people critique somalis, they say "somali", when they love an aspect of somali culture or history they say "east african".

Shall we get into the truth?

Which is that some rappers started thirsting after Horner girls, and using the term 'East African', and then Bantu girls from East Africa also started claiming these songs to ride coattails.

Whenever a Horner gets praised for anything, they are the ones running in, trying to get some shine, it doesn't matter what the topic is.

Trust me, we will all benefit from being called by our real names. No loss here. "East Africa" cirka ha la aadaan, who cares.
