@Finesse Somalis isn't a phenotype as it can be any phenotype, Somali are just clans who speak Somali since it's a tongue not a nation or race, it's like english with various nations n people who speak it, it doesn't negate their origins. Somali language developed under cushites but that doesn't mean the modern Somalis u see have been in this corner of the world for 1 million years, which is highly unlikely, the effects of wars-disease-climate change just doesn't allow for any population of people to remain in one place, in and out migrations and extinctions are process of evolution and is a fact as fossil remains and artifacts attest to this.
The founders of Somali language in my opinion died out and only left their language alive for new arrivals to continue on, it doesn't mean we own it, we inherited it and carried it on. Besides Somalis are of various clan development stages some do not even have basic xeer n nabadoons, some do have xeer n nabadoon but no leader, while others had justice system/xeer and leader plus 'aristocracy' to enforce social order and heirachy on it's clans-men which report to a sultanates at all time. U r talking 3 different human development stages in Somali and led to our civil war as the lower cultured ones refused the saldanad based ones to continue ruling like h8tus refused the tutsi is what happened in Somalia.
Please stop this republican class-less somali phenotype nonsensne, wax somali la yirah ma jirin weligeed untill colonials came and enforced it on us so we forge a nation state thru an identity that no-one considered beyond a language not a social group, your trying to make it a social group and wipe out centuries of historical fact just so u can continue on with the colonial nation state based on a social group that never existed in the first place. It's like me trying to enforce a social group on the irish and saying your british, it's not my place to tell them how to create nation state let alone enforce a social group on them called 'british' which they don't hold to be true whatsoever, it would've led to a bloodshed even among the UK inhabitants which it did and still does as they don't look at each other as the same even till today like somalis dont look at each other as the same and there is no changing that unless saldanad clans rule and lesser clans get cultured again but they see this as a tribe ruling them when infact its not, a tribe that is saldanad is a govt and ur not is what they fail to acknowledge, if u were a govt or saldanad we would've all shared power without fear of each other due to respect of our histories but that isnt the case since some r hordes and some are saldanads
@Calaf and
@Dues Ex Machete know this and they are the most 'nationalist n republican' among darods today post civil war somalia but they know this distinction they have too or else they know what can happen with the hordes who even lost basic xeer/nabadoons today as even they are not trusted in their communities let alone SALDANAND or decision maker among them
