His work is anglophile propaganda. Dude believed Somalis came from Arabia and conquered the horn from the Galla. He believed Harla were its own ethnicity that he attributed every monument to her

No, he went with what the Somalis themselves told him. Somalis during that time thought they were from Arabia. You can’t attack someone who listened to the propaganda of the people he visited.

His work and many anthropologist are still cited. It is debunked that Somalis didnt come from Arabia and conquered the horn, but lies like Harla being a semetic ethnicity living in the midst of Somalis from Zeila to Harar still being circulated around academics. He was biased and he manipulated primary sources. He said Marka was an arab city and he made that up when Idrisi only mentioned Hawiye lived in Marka. So yes I have the right to attack him. He was a colonial propagandist

Wallahi you know nothing. I.M lewis, Pankhurst, Cerrulli. The anthropologist of that time were colonial propagandist. They lied on primary sources, they made up theories to discredit Somalis. Every single achievement was credited to anyone but Somalis. These people were colonialist. Number 1 thing you do is to revision and distort the history of the people. You give them historical amnesia and they will forever be mentally colonized.

The guy threw a temper tantrum when Somali families didn't let him access their libraries so he coped by saying Mogadishu is Arab and Persian.

The nigga said Somalis came from Arabs who conquered the peninsula from Galla tribes and mixed with them. Bro basically said Somalis are mixed Arabs-Oromos

I have a physical copy of his book this is Just a tip of the oriental bs. Also I don't think Somalis told him they come from Oromos

Somalis literally say this to this day and say that is their abtiris. Let’s be honest here.

No, they said they’re from Arabs.

Somalis told him Mogadishu was founded by Arab and Persian families and the Harla who stretched tl Zelia were a Habasha tribe?

 

[Khaem]

No, they said they’re from Arabs.

That's not what he wrote. You're picking at straws you got no clue about this man nacas

 

[Angelina]

Somalis told him Mogadishu was founded by Arab and Persian families and the Harla who stretched tl Zelia were a Habasha tribe?

Somalis said they were Arabs and their Arab forefather came and married a local. They even told that nonsense to Burton as well.

Let’s hold ourselves accountable.
Speak to an old head, even till this day they’ll say with confidence their qabil founder was an Arab man who brought Islam amongst other things.

Mate my own uncle literally thinks Moqdishu was built by Arabs. He is an old man nearing his 70s. The older gen believed this as well and it’s linked to them thinking they’re also Arab descendants. He is not the only one who is Somali whom I’ve heard say this as well.

This is the price we paid by losing our history.

Im disgusted, you'll never catch us ciise saying this nonsense.

I’m being down voted for something I 100% know Somalis say and have said in the past. The ones who really think think this way are the 60+ crowd. The crowd who were born when I.M Lewis was gallivanting about and that crowd were probably told that nonsense by their own parents, the age peers of I.M Lewis.
