Malema (EFF) wants to culturally appropriate a Somali name

[Blade1]

why did you qashin my post thou??? we actually agree

I qashined when you said somalis only know history from colonisation and after colonisation.
If people abroad and young paid attention to Somali poems they'd know alot more further back.

 

[Gibiin-Udug]

It has nothing to do with Somalis. At all.

It’s actually a Pan-African thing.

Na Naga amus, let us have this moment @VixR

Lemme find if there's a book. My parents read and say the poems to me so I haven't memorised them but lemme try ask and memorise it and write it. They teach me using easier Somali words or add English since the poems use big old words idk.

They've been co-opting this name for decades. They stole the land and the name/identity of these people.

RIP to the Azanians

At least Bantus just steal Somali ideas and culture. Oromo will steal your land, kill your family and kidnap you into their tribe.

Azania civilisation was built by a mixture of Eastern Cushitic migrants (Proto Somali) and Southern Cushitics. The correct Somali term for Azania in Somali is Madanleh.

They were said to have been a tall people of a lighter, reddish complexion. I think it may even be a corruption of Casaan.

Cushite Smushite. They were NOT Somali. FACT.

It’s a known Pan-African term. South Sudan almost named itself Azania as well.

Somali did not exist during that time. The ancestors of modern Somalis built Azania along with their Southern Cushitic cousins. This is why you have Somali loanwords in Nilotic Kenyan languages which don’t have borders with Somalis. Ancient Somaloid Cushites of Kenya and possibly Tanzania were absorbed by Nilotics and Bantus. The evidence survives in language and burial runs using Somaloid burial systems and calendar.

*Somaloid equals proto Somali.

The Azanian artifact that Apollo posted was found in Marka so you can keep your fictional self hating xaar to yourself.

Would you protest if South Africa changed its name to Azania and stole it from Somali history?

Absolutely. We saw how much confusion Macedonia caused by claiming Greek history. Luckily I doubt any artifacts could ever be found so far away from Azania proper.

It's completely laughable that they are claiming a civilisation from another part of the continent that flourished while they were still banging rocks and sticks together in Cameroon.

Me when the peasants on this forum use the word cushite

First you were offended when people called you Somalian now you don’t want to use the term Somali. Stop branching yourself up with Ethiopians and use your own singular term.

Shut the f*ck up cos we see ourselves as Somalis and Cushitic cos that's what we fucking are bet you wouldn't be opening your mouth if we said we are black

She is a mentally disturbed troll.

 

[HIGH PRIESTESS]

Damn these Bantus always steal everything from us Cushites

First they took our land in East Africa, have the nerve to say they're the original inhabitants and that we're Arab rape baby invaders, then they shame us by calling us black and trying to group us into their adoon genetics, and now they're stealing our own culture and civilizations.

Wallahi Ethiopians and Somalis have been butchering each other for no reason. Imagine if we turned that energy to the Bantus of East Africa and expanded into those lands once again and turned our side of the continent Cushitic once again.

Make East Africa Cushitic Again!

Hopefully the name change doesn’t go through. Besides, who would believe that ZULUS created an advanced and ancient civilisation?

Azanians were Cushites. FACT.

What is cushite to you. Somalis dont like Oromos and they are cushites asbif cushites are nice to each other and have 1 political goal in the past or in the present.

Europeans use to kill each other, but now are best friends through the EU. Hostility is not a permanent feature.

 

[Defendant]

Ancient Azanians were Cushites with soft hair and fine-features.

Azanians were Southern Cushitic.

 

[Apollo]

Azanians were Southern Cushitic.

It was multi-ethnic between East and South Cushites, both taking part. Also, it was not a real civilization but a generic geographic term of ~500 BC Southeast Somalia/Kenya.
