It's in all their books, they know this part of Africa, you think they don't read or something all the arabic knowledge they have? this land was 'barbar' they know we camped outside in clans and noone ever 'tanasuled' for each other, we were working on the principle of 'hoyada aduunka' they know this is 'real law in the world' that everyone comes under. They just taught us to keep within religious norms not to displace our ancient culture, you can't displace your ancient identity and how you kept your land, faataaxo laguma hanan dhulka, dhiig iyo dagaal ayaa dhici jirey desertka because they won't move easily even the 'gaal' ones like borana or rendille and all those ones.
Desert people are very rough people, they would bring 'caano' into the coastal cities of bosaso, hamar, berbera to the arabs as 'gesture' to remind them this is camel milk and you are guest weeye, marti ba tahay, we gave u a small piece of land for islamic reasons to continue on your trade links. These people had 'civilization' at the time, we didn't or we lost much of it from ancient egypt especially when the area became a desert that's why u still see ancient togs and river systems, it was fertile land northern somalia, that's what laas geel shows even when pharoahs were around, we were tribute region back then to the pharoah and probably where our cuqdad for boqortoyo came from since we assume boqortoyo means 'god' as pharoah was god on land, this must of stuck in the historical consciousness of the people, but when the place became a 'desert' thru climate change, the old somalis must of moved cause they couldn't adjust and the wild oromos then marched into the vacant land. This is where Somali and Oromo history starts. By the time the arabs were around the oromos were defeated.
We took the land even though some remain strong to the land principle like boraan and shit like that and possibly lots more in northern kenya. The other key thing I noticed in Somali culture is the circumision of the female, this is clearly inherited from pharoah, because back then circumision meant your halal in those convenant days of abraham, I am not sure who it was that developed that convenant of circumision but it existed in Africa with many desert tribes and even 'habesha' who are christian.
Anyways the Arabs are our historians, noone else can speak for us, like noone else can speak for Europe but roman history, well the romans are gone but the arabs are still here. We didn't ever have bad relationship, they knew they paid us what we needed or else we will invade the city and they knew they were 'inside a city' and would be surrounded by these wild barbarians looooooooooooool. They consider barbarians anyone who wasn't sophisticated in thought and thought like we do 'qabiil ama family ama tan dhiiga sida hayawanka'. They were civilized they assumed and focusing on developing higher level of thought but we saw that as a weakness and call arabs 'naago' notice. It's all historical, Somalis prefer inay 'xoog' ku sheegtan.
But we civilized a-lot more as time went and developed sultanates and copied the arabs or they taught us how to operate but we never left the MIYI hence the land is basically engrained in our souls, we didn't leave it till like 17th century because at the time of futuh al habash we had no sultanates that was here, we were just camped out as usual grazing around like the reer miyi and joined the jihad on habash well amhara and possibly oromo foot soldiers as they use them as front line first, waa cawaan dee.
But we must remain loyal to the area that gave birth to us in the first place, it's the nation we had the most contact with, we didn't have much contact with Africa besides Tanzania for slaves in the south not in the north since they are not suited out there in that desert environment and have no use, having slaves isn't a northern culture. This developed later when boqor osman wanted to stop relying on the interior due to climate change and develop fishing culture and Somalis hate fishing so they brought in the experts the BANTU who can leave farming but only to fishing and why they live on coastlines, most likely the outer area is desert now that's why.
The only nation we had contact with is ETHIOPIA and that shit stretching 500 years now and breasts for tat, abkow to abkow, no cafis, niinka roon ayaa reerka uu harayo, do not bother making peace as it will always be 'fake peace' trust me 'we dont forget' our awooweyaal, we cherish them more then even DIINTA. Lineage and family is critical to us because it's the reason we are alive, we are not alive because of 'fataaxo' iyo diin, dhaqan baan ku nool nahay iyo soo jireenimo iyo sida loo noolado meelahasi harsh environmentka ah. Our quran serves one purpose for us only so we are not conquered mentally by our enemy, we can always return to god and ask for help but we won't sit there and beg, we get up and do our thing, my awoowe never sat there and did TUUGSI when he had half our families genocided, some people will just sit there like 'magan alle' eelay, in our northern culture this is seen as niin jabay oo aan laysku halayn karin. We are basically a burden on the land and not a benefit in anyway.
The gob iyo gun iyo nasab is critical also as it proves you got history, culture, don't play like a dog, you show abaal to tarikh and u help other gob tribes halka gunta sida midgaha waa anyone oo hilib banankasi yaal cuno or else we have no reason to be better then habash who we forced to eat raw meat and turned into his cuisine. Sometimes when I am desperate for cigarette i want to pick up butts, that's how it was viewed eating meat that was dead, it meant you were so poor and had no faith in god to keep going that you were ina gumeed and just ate bakhti. But in Islam your allowed to eat anything in the event of starvation however to replace culture n tradition with religion is very difficult, that's why they remain separate.
Arabs stayed on our coastal cities they found our coastal cities, we just camped outside saying he is 'our guest'. Slavery was impossible in this land or any desert type of land, they used the 'farmers' in tanzania for that slavery game. In Somalia the story was different story, it's very independent people, freedom, they don't like being told what to do by someone, but this is very animalistic behavior, u need to cooperate in the world, u can't keep holding onto animal way of life. I say we need to maintain dual culture, yes lets keep pastoralism alive it's second life line in case cities or regions get destroyed in wars so we can revert to our cousins in the miyi in distant lands, lets have some farmers, some city dwellers, some in arabian countries. This is what jews did, they welcomed each flow of arrivals in different empires when they fled, we are clearly doing the same thing when u see our settlement patterns historically in miyi and the diaspora.
We are not interested in 'wars' with other nations who have no history with us, we let people be usually like when somalis of different regions say 'halkee isku aragnay adigu' they don't want to start on a bad note with anyone, they give u a fair shot to establish relations and if it is good, they stayed in somalia coastal areas from 14th till 21st century the arabs plus the early muslim settlers in zaylac.
So the original Somalis were indeed gob people, u can't teach culture adeer, u can teach science, business, politics, but principles, values, and something t o maintain cannot be taught to u, it has to be inherited who you are, you can define who u r but it will continously change as time goes on. When u go to the west they have millions of different values and views o f life, if those ppl had no govt, how can they establish a common cause when their basic culture isn't the same and they're principles. It's gonna be war zone that's what happens with lack of culture.
