Somalia needs to give reparations for centuries of Bantu/Oromo slavery

[Samira]

Somalia was part of the Arab slave trade for many hundreds of years

At some point in the future, we need to answer for this. In fact, even today Bantus are treated like slaves.

It's a big lie that Somalis enslaved Oromo. I'm disgusted by what some people are spreading.

We did actually

Descriptions and recollections of the lives of pastoral slaves indicates significant differences from those of plantation and agropastoral slaves. In the Somali raids on Oromo settlement during the nineteenth century, Oromo women and children were claimed as slaves, while men were usually killed. These women and children were taken into the family life of their abductors, while still, of course remaining subjects. Abducted Oromo children became "children" of the master. Somalis only took very young children as they were easier to abduct and adopt. Oromo women, valued for their beauty, were kept as concubines or as domestic servants or were given in marriage to other slaves

Let's wait until Arabs pay the Bantu. And when Europeans give AAs their 40 acres. Yes; And when Amxaro pay up to the Oromo for forced servitude. And when the Bantu pay the Pygmies for slavery. I don't think this day will ever come. And you can't right wrongs by stealing money away from poor people that had no hand in slavery. Blame the niggas with soiled paws mate, it's a shame their dead. Me family is clean nomads so will you be taking this in cheque, credit card of money order?

 

[Hubble]

That's made up. There's no evidence for it. There is however ample evidence that Somalis and Oromo shared a past religion and after Islam were a unit fighting against imperial Abyssinia side by side.

Not reparations but Bantus should get their farmlands back

Oromos have their regions in Ethiopia and Kenya

Abdi J please find all the farmers you swindled and pay them their salary for the seasons of hard work you stole from them.

I wouldn't be surprised if some traitorous Somali SJW'S actually thought like this.

I didn't say you were. You admitted that you don't pay farmers for their labour.

I don't own farmland. How much do you pay the practically enslaved indigenous Bantu Somali workers?
