Why would you feel bad for people that have their own country? Black Americans are a marginalized minority within America, and relative to the rest of the Caribbean Dominicans are doing fine. Also, Sudanese people identify as their tribe more so than Arab or non-Arab (even Nubians and Beja identify as tribe followed by Sudanese rather than their ethnicity), and Darfur itself has many Arab tribes (some of them look just like Khaleejis/pure bedouins too). Sudanese people are very prideful so it's really not as deep as you're trying to make it. Lastly, some tribes did "lose" their language but language shifts happened a lot throughout history. Sudanese Arabic is a lingua-franca and has unified the country (along with Islam) despite previous linguistic and religious divides during medieval times when the country was constantly at a state of civil war.

Life is like a sandwich, the bread comes first💰💯
Northerners have oppressed the dinkas for decades so how am I supposed to feel bad? No wonder why south sudanese hate sudanese people

And plus, my maternal side is ancient Egyptian, we the aboriginals
I used to have Egyptian friends because I born and lived in Middle East..they are very colourist and Hates everything dark even their own darker people. They call someone if he or she light skinned or blond " ابن الناس أو بنت الناس" as if other people came from subhuman ..but class is above racism or skin colour so If you are at least have money or western passport you may not have big issue there. Also the reason somali don't see racism there because somali don't seek validation and acceptance from other races. But this is country is shithole and their men sexual harass any living things 
The man who made the accounts travelled all over Woqooyi and a good chunk of Galbeed (I believe some of Koonfur too on different expeditions) and met and stayed with people from all four major clans of Hawiye, Isaaq, Darood and Dir and noted how ubiquitous dogs were. They were so common that you could tell a Somali nomad camp or reer tuulo village was nearby through the barking of dogs.
And it's fairly obvious why they stopped:
The settled Somal have a holy horror of dogs, and, Wahhabi-like, treat man’s faithful slave most cruelly. The wild people are more humane; they pay two ewes for a good colley, and demand a two-year old sheep as “diyat” or blood-money for the animal, if killed.
What seems to have happened is that the attitude of reer magaals from back then slowly became mainstream as Somalis urbanized more and more and, more importantly, became more hyper religious. Got to a point where even the nomads developed the same attitude toward dogs when they clearly liked them about a Century ago.
Interesting, so you're a mix of different qabils from the North, central and South MashaAllah. You're a Somali with blood from every parts.
Indeed. But, to be honest, even if they don't show it terms of recent geneoalogy, most Somalis have ancestry from all over Somaliweyn. 23andme shows as much. You'll see a reer Koonfur dude with distant relatives as far afield as Jabuuti and Harar. Somalis have some of the highest IBD sharing I've ever seen among ethnic groups.
Probably because our ancestors practiced a fair amount of clan and subclan exogamy on the maternal side. Y-DNA frequencies vary across Somaliweyn but regardless of region the same mtDNA lineage diversity pops up. It's beautiful, really. The hooyos are the glue of the nation.
That book is fascinating. In some parts I felt like our ancestors from the 1800s were unrecognizable from modern Somalis and in other parts I felt like there were certain aspects that are still practically the same. Also, when you think about it the mid 1800s wasn't that long ago, that is our grandparents' grandmothers and fathers. Yet, we've lost 60% of their culture and the average Somali is very ignorant when it comes to the cultural attitudes of that time period.The man who made the accounts travelled all over Woqooyi and a good chunk of Galbeed (I believe some of Koonfur too on different expeditions) and met and stayed with people from all four major clans of Hawiye, Isaaq, Darood and Dir and noted how ubiquitous dogs were.

@Shimbiris, from reading the book, what would you say suprised you the most about 19th century Somalis?

I would say at least half of the Somalis in Egypt hold Western or non-Somali passports.

I may be wrong but it's highly unlikely
Quick question does the Somali constitution allow a person to hold dual Somali citizenship with, for example,my British citizenship
I need to send this to my Egyptian friend. He always goes on and on about how chill all Egyptian people are lol
Yeah thats one of the benefits of being Somali in these arab countries, they think you are gaajo somali
Cadaans here get finessed and scammed like crazy, visiting the Pyramids is dirt cheap for us and these Egyptian scammers dont bother you

Death Awaits You
For how long did you live in Egypt ?
The 1960 constitution does not but more recent constitutions allow for it.
Most of our politicians are dual citizens
Egypt is super racist not even because of Arabs but the Copts that live there bring a insidious mindset Copts Greeks
the ancient Greeks viewed black Africans with racial prejudice and introduced racism that divided the world between white and black to the world
Its also funny how many of the black people the Greeks met in Africa were were superior to them militarily and technologically up until the Macedonians conquered the world
