I think we focusing on the wrong areas, The north west was densely populated and a nexus point of trade and urbanism. Why don’t we look at the Hawd and Doollo, the modern day country of the Ogaden. We know little about the inhabitants of that country up until the 15th to 17th century.
a lot of the clans in that part of the Somali landmass have lore about the presence of Galla there, who were eventually exterminated through warfare.
More likely pre-Islamic Somali king/queen, the Oromo didn't reach the SR until the 16th century, this is the problem when fucking cadaan racist take the word of a random Somali in the middle of nowhere, this is primarily why some of those Cadaan spies didn't like the Gadabuursi; we were hostile to them.
Bro, I think this just just more myth than anything. Without any physical or written evidence, it's just oral history. The collapse of Adal was bad; besides raids deep, I can't see them settling that far into Somali territory.
Its not a myth its historically accurate and nothern Somalia coast has galla graves all over did they come from ?
Maybe traders maybe scholars
Ah, now I see why you are such a likeable fellow. Wuxu waa a Gallant Gadbuursi! A Savant Samaroon! Allahu Akbar! Mabrook! Much love for your lot. Awdalland hanoolaato!
There are no galla Graves. What the oral history is mostly likley remembering is the defeat of rival clans and then in oral memory they are propgandized as gallo or non-muslims. It was a common tactic amongst somalis to call your enemies disbelievers.
Its very likely that as whatever state authority existed in the 1600s collapsed power reverted to clans and they then began to fight over an increasingly drier territory.
Let's agree to disagree.
Yeah, the societal collapse was pretty significant, destroying the fragile trade to the interior, the loss of men in the wars and the eventual Oromo hordes caused famine, and those who couldn't get help from their fellow kin died out or moved further south.
Much love, bruddah! we need to make plans to visit the Calmadow mountains in the future Inshallah, the views of the sky camel will be wonderous.
