He didn't and the podcast topic was about Ethiopian muslims

 

[Aurelian]

Included Muslim sultanate on the Somali coast in the Ethiopian Muslim sultanates

The interviewer asked him why Muslim Ethiopians were abused and discriminated since he claimed that most rural areas were Muslims since 7 century.

 

[Haragwaafi]

Included Muslim sultanate on the Somali coast in the Ethiopian Muslim sultanates

Cuz they were "Muslim" sultanates that represented Ethiopian Muslims too and also part of Ethiopia's history

 

[Khaem]

Ethiopia is a Christian kingdom the exact same state as Dawit or Twedros.

The people in Adal, Awfat, Harar sultanate and Auusa never called themselves ethiopians and considered the flag to be the symbol of Kuffar and enemies of Islam.
You cannot sit there and associate ethiopia with Muslim states with a straight face

Are you stupid or what? those sultanates ruled lands that are now in Ethiopia and represented the Muslims living there so it makes it par of Ethiopia's history

 

[Aurelian]

But they aren't Habesha

 

[Haragwaafi]

But they aren't Habesha

Those Muslim sultanates ruled parts of the highland

 

[Emir of Zayla]

Those Muslim sultanates ruled parts of the highland

So? Muslim Sultanates ruled Ethiopia but that doesn’t mean they considered themselves Ethiopian or “Habeshi”. Many kingdoms ruled lands outside of their nation but that doesn’t mean they associated them with themselves if that makes sense.

The historian didn't say that he just used the old term Abyssinia referring to old territories of Ethiopia highlands

Is there english subtitles? I see so many arabic videos that would be interesting to watch but they have no subtitles.

Go to settings-subtitles- click arabic autogenerated- click subtitles again- click autotranslate

The translation is fairly good.

That’s like saying calling the Romanian empire a Serbian Empire just cuz it ruled over a few modern day Serbians

A more apt example would be calling the historical ancient region of Ionia in western Anatolia Turkish just because its apart of Turkey now. Turkey is home to a lot of ancient civilizations but Turks themselves only arrived in the middle ages.
