HISTORY Unknown eras in Somali history

[Ugas.Wacays]

I doubt it, there is literally no written account of him controlling anything on the coast, maybe exerting influence on the trade routes, looting, etc..

This history is recognized by all somali historians, Aale boore controlled the coastal region of Djibouti and Awdal after the collapse of the Adal Sultanate.

Yes, but how far have they reached inside Somali territory?

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.

Also there is Jarahoroto Somalis now said they are King and Queen of Oromo
Somali oral history is embarrassing and makes us all feel as if we came yesterday by boat from the Arabian Peninsula And those who lived in our land were xabashi and Oromos

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.

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.

What do you think of the claim that all Somalis came from Sanaag About 800 years ago.
and all those graves? Someone once told me that the Sufis there were doing that so that people would come to visit it not all of it but some many are fake
Should we stop believing oral history and take it as bedtime stories and only take what science and genetics say?

Somalis come from the north in general, not only Sanaag. The clans, if you go past 800 years, are reorganizations of Somali relations and lineage dynasties with their rules of incorporation and sometimes instrumentalist creations.

There was no such thing as Sufis back then. People project what happened pretty recently in the late 19th century with earlier Islamic expression. It's unfounded. They conflate Muslim burial practices with some retained Cushitic traditions -- which are ancient -- with Sufi aspects.

We should not stop believing in oral tradition. It's valuable. We should be critical of it.
