There are paranoid fears that Somalia is being overrun by bantus or that there is an undercover bantu agenda. The reality couldn't further from these ridiculous conspiracy theories. The vast majority of bantus are peaceful people who want to be left alone for the most part and live among themselves in their own society. That is why in this incredible era of federalism the formation of an independent state for all bantus, be they Somalized bantus such as Madowweyne or relatively recent arrivals.
Making the case for a Bantu state :
It has been demonstrated scientifically from studies of gene flow that the ancestors of the modern day "Lamagodleys" (i.e the 5 major tribes in the Somali peninsula) are recent arrivals to the Somali peninsula, the earliest of which arriving a little over 6000 years ago from North Africa and as late as 800 years ago from the Arabian peninsula. This is all confirmed by the three main haplogroups found among these tribes: e3b, T, and J1. Also, the same studies confirm that the original inhabitants of the Somali peninsula are e3a carriers that are very close relatives to the modern day bantus that inhabit the region. This shows the distribution of e3a and e3b 10,000 years ago in the African continent:

So, with that being said, there is a historical and natural case for a bantu state in the Somali peninsula. If not to honor the original inhabitants of the region and their close kin (i.e bantus), then to at least have a state all bantus in the region can congregate and live in peace away from Lamagodley persecution. Jowhar is already a bantu haven, and the lush farmlands of this blessed town are a constant across the Shabelleha Dhexe
With the federalism agenda moving and the balkanization of the Somali peninsula proceeding in a rather a predictable manner, the carving out of a new bantu homeland for all Somali bantus and other bantus in the blessed Shabelleha is becoming more of a reality with each passing day. obamadatazz
