Can’t wait for the Ana Arabs to find this post.

No, it's absolutely true and found even in colonial documents:

Livestock from Northwest and Northeast Somalia was so important to the survival of Yemeni ports like Aden that the gaalo plainly stated they'd be finished without Somali exports or if Somali workers and traders, who were everywhere in towns like Aden and Mocha, performed a mass exodus which they indeed threatened at one point when the Brits were about to enact a plan to deport 2,000 Somalis only to pull back on the plan for fear of Aden going under without the Somalis.

The livestock exports from the northeast in particular were so extensive during the mid to late 1800s that it effected clan migrations. As in, MJs began having to migrate more southwards, both overland and via ships, due to the sheer change in dynamics from the massively increased herds and overused land in their native northeast areas.

Also when it comes to Quran competitions we dominate.

Despite having less material resources to dedicate to our religion.

Low key I feel like Somalis have some sort of historical amnesia.

Like there is so much cities that were abandoned and we don’t know why.

We know that we had a big impact in this region of the world but we don’t know exactly what it is.

It’s like a guy who blacked out drunk and wake up in a jail cell. The next trying to figure out what he did retracing his steps.

There is a lot of questions left to answer about Somali culture.

Like the accounts made by explorers about our cuisine or our clothing is completely different to what it is today.

The real question I want answered is how did we go from a mostly urbanized people before the Futuh to being a mix of agro-pastoralists, farmers, and urban people. You’d think there’d be crazy stories passed down about how people left the cities for a better life in farming or herding livestock or smth.

The cities were sustained through trade routes that were protected by the state (Sultanate of Adal) that's no longer the case without any centralised state. Trade was disrupted by galla raiders and eventually these cities dwindled. As people returned to country life as the cities was no longer viable.

That's also when cities in Somaliweyn started building advanced stone walls to keep out Oromo. The best being Harar walls build by Nur ibn Mujahid a Marexan Somali

Which region in Somalia was giving charity and aid to the Arabs? What year were the Somalis giving aid to the Arabs? The Arabs were giving vast amounts of charity and aid to Somalia even during the military regime of Said Barre. Most of Somalia's land is harsh, arid, and not suitable for arable farming. Somalia is also a victim of yearly droughts. How is it possible that we would give aid to the Arabs when the resources we have can barely sustain and feed our people?

The Arab League gave $100 million to Somalia for their rehabilitation program in June 1975. The Soviet Union has also provided Somalia with six large transport planes and moved 18,000 nomadic refugees to farm areas in the South.

Yeah the trade routes sustained these cities without them it’s basically like a siege was done on them.

I wish their were contemporary archeological work done on them to see how big these cities are.

Also one thing that’s weird is how we transitioned from city states to actual sultanates.

We already see many ruins all across Somaliweyn. As Somalis were the few on the continent who built using stone unlike most of Africa who used 'natural materials' such as mud and clay to build their structures which degraded into nothing without maintenence.

Somalis need to document and do proper archeology on these known abandoned sites as well as do some more research on those city states of Somalia in antiquity.

That's generally how it went no? Cities gained so much power over land they became large kingdoms. Rome was just a city at first remember.

Yeah but we were city states for an abnormal long time.

Somalis were not urban people until later in history. Somalis were primarily nomads for most part of history.

Yes all Somali cities were founded by foreigners.

Bro even downplays us for acts of Charity lol your one determined Langaab agent I will give it too you.

In the past, when the Gulf countries were mere barren deserts, Somalia stood out as the first in Africa and the 15th power in the world. During that era, the UAE used to offer free citizenship to Somali expats. However, some declined the offer as the Somali passport held more weight in the Muslim world at that time. Reflecting on those times, it's evident how circumstances have changed significantly.
