You don't think the Persians could have done it? Heck even the Islamic caliphates could have done it if they tried it hard enough. They didn't even try hard enough to conquer france, the weak of europe.
White people are evil sxb, and the worst among them are Americans. It's the only explanation.
Whites fundamentally changed the world in like a century and a half, propelling all of humanity forward along with them. Electricity, automobiles, airplanes, the internet, literal space rockets
Then they let you into their country, saved you from other Somalis, gave you citizenship, equal rights, world class education, and an opportunity for upward social mobility.
Tell me where else that would happen
It's kind of like asking why African Americans are doing so poorly compared to white people in America.
disgusting.
As long as they spoke a proto-Eastern Cushitic language in Meroe long ago, that's all that matters. Couldn't care less about the formalities of where it is or where it isn't. Bro, even if we found an ancient temple buried underground on Somali soil, they would claim it was some other group responsible for creating it.
At least, Somalis of old had pride. They didn't need to latch on to anything. Glory was innate. Nor were they bootlickers to other groups.
