No point arguing with him, I'll refrain from saying anything ill of him, not sure why he is even here, his like those revision hoteps who claim AE history, instead of looking at their own.Plenty of medieval Arabic writers and travelers like Ibn Idiris, Ibn Said, Ibn Battuta ect all very clearly talk about Somalis living in Jubaland/southern Somalia. Furthermore, that entire region was considered apart of Al-Barbaria aka Somalia. Then there are all the ruins and architecture left behind of Somali origin.
That isn't Oromo. "Gaal" is an archaic Somali word for Camel and has no relation to the word Galla which was only used by Habeshas. Many Somali clan names and places use the word Gaal in it so it is of clear Somali origin.
No it is only an Oromo tradition. Somali oral traditions say nothing about Oromos ruling over or dominating southern Somalia, there is no coroboration of that.
In psychology, this is called social identity theory, people derive a sense of pride and belonging from the groups they are part of (e.g., ethnicity, nationality, religion). When two groups, like the Oromo and Somali, are in close contact or competition over resources or power, there can be a psychological tendency to either strengthen one’s own group identity or attempt to diminish the status of the other group. This can lead to misappropriation of cultural history or symbols to either assert dominance or claim a shared history that strengthens group cohesion.
Notice we never claim anything from them, while we reject those of unknown paternal heritage, they accept it willingly.
History is used as a tool of power and legitimacy. In situations where historical narratives are contested (especially in post-colonial contexts), groups may seek to rewrite or reinterpret history to serve their own political or social purposes. This can sometimes manifest as claiming aspects of another group's cultural or historical identity, either to align with a dominant narrative or to weaken a competing narrative.
