WARNING TO SOMALIS TRAVELING IN ETHIOPIA

Status
Not open for further replies.
Is all of the somali region really somali? Or did they include oromo areas?!? Or have oromos moved there after ethiopia took ogaden?!? :cosbyhmm:
Oromos have been continously used by the tigray to displace somalis since the fall of the siad government.

This even happens in SL where isaaq are preyed upon by oromos gangs. Nobody speaks up about it though. Silanyo allowed this b.s.
 
Number 1 after Maay is far close to the somali language then to oromo. No. 2 Rahanweyn are somali without a doubt. The white old bastard @Grant needs go jump off a cliff if he believes their not. Also Why do the oromo have such an tendacy to go an migrate into somali land like they own it . They have heavily migrated to somaliland the live in somalia and they also live in Galbeed even though they have their own region. Abdi illy is stupid he shouldn't be pressuring them now but they have to be told to to leave one day. How is dire dawa a somali city when somalis now only consist of about 20%. What are they doing in jigjiga. Rather then protecting their own regions and try to get succession they are running around killing somalis in their own land. Wallahi oromo are mentally retarded.
Bro, that old white man just can't stop. You would think he's on tplf payroll. :icon lol:

They're everywhere, even in garowe and bossaso. So many Somalis there have become indifferent because they have other matters to worry about. Their abuse of local Somalis in SL is well known. Oromo street children in SL beat up and rob Somali street children where they compete for the car wash market, and are also engaged in much worse night time human rights abuses against females.
 
Professor,

You are WAY out of your league. Prior to the Common Era, the Oromo and the Samaale were both just Southeastern Cushites. The Oromo greatly outnumber the Somalis. In DireDawa (the land conquered by the Dir) many Dir speak Oromo, but still identify as Somali. One interesting thing is that the Dir are "T" and the Hararis and many in Hararghe are Ethio-Semitic, not even Cushites with E1b1b.

Here is a relatively complete study of the Somali languages. Knock yourself out, or jump off as you wish.

No, you're wrong and what he's saying is accurate. Raxanwayn have a common ancestors with Somalis as they all migrated from the same place at the same time period.
Also, how can you be an expert on our origins, when you don't even know your own origins you garaac :gaasdrink::siilaanyolaugh:
 
Interesting, @Grant who almost exclusively spends his time on this forum pushing revisionist history about Somalis also is interested in Ethio-Somali relations. This is probably the first post I've seen of his related to current affairs, and it's an article depicting Somalis as aggressors and Oromos as victims...In a thread about Somalis being slaughtered by oromos.

Very strange :hillarybiz:

@Professor hes probably a habeshi himself, that would explain a lot.
I thought I was the only one that noticed!

He uses the "i'm wight, so you should believe me card" which conveniently paints us in a bad light.

Dying in the sea, dying in the west on the streets, getting tortured left right center, getting mutilated. By arabs, oromos, xabashi, south africans, kenyans & whoever wants to join. We're like ants getting mushed by shoes.
This is the curse of the Somalis, we don't respect ourselves which in turn means we won't be respected by other nations.

explains why he has such a fetish for somali historical revision.

I support iley showing the oromos who's in charge, but there needs to be consequences for the oromos who have done this. There can't be a settlement or truce.

As for silanyo, he's old & his time as prez is up. Only focusing on benefitting financially before its over. How can u be greedy at that age :farmajoyaab:

Hopefull muuse bixi will be smarter. SL needs an immigration system. They've sent some oromos away, but they come back like cockroaches
 
A section of of Raxanweyn is originally Somalized Oromo. They intermarry with one another and on good terms for the most part.


I'm pleased to see someone has figured this out. The old histories need revision.

Those who still believe that Isaaq and Darood were "J", married "T" Dir women and had E1b1b children need to read up on the inheritance of haplotypes.

The Orma settled Af Madow in the 1600s. Some were driven back into Kenya by Darood Somalis, but others were absorbed by the Rahanweyn.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maay_Maay

"Maay is principally spoken by the Digil and Mirifle (Rahanweyn or Sab) clans in the southern regions of Somalia.[3] Its speech area extends from the southwestern border with Ethiopia to a region close to the coastal strip between Mogadishu and Kismayo, including the city of Baidoa.[4] Maay is not mutually comprehensible with Northern Somali or Benadir, and it differs considerably in sentence structure and phonology.[5] It is also not generally used in education or media. However, Maay speakers often use Standard Somali as a lingua franca,[4] which is learned via mass communications, internal migration and urbanisation.[5]

Maay is closely related with the Jiido, Dabarre, Garre and Tunni languages that are also spoken by smaller Rahanweyn communities. Collectively, these languages present similarities with Oromo that are not found in mainstream Somali. Chief among these is the lack of pharyngeal sounds in the Rahanweyn/Digil and Mirifle languages, features which by contrast typify Somali. The retroflex /ɖ/ is also replaced by /r/ in some positions. Although in the past frequently classified as dialects of Somali, more recent research by the linguist Mohamed Diriye Abdullahi has shown that these varieties, including Maay, constitute separate Cushitic languages. They may thus represent traces of an Oromo substratum in the southern Rahanweyn confederacy.[6]"

"He's wrong cause he's Wight" is a lousy argument that would get itself lost with even the simplest of reading. The links are there, people.

Its not as simple as you make it sound. Rahanweyns are Somalis who absorbed many Somali and non-Somalis sub clans. Some of them were absorbed by Hawiya and Darood. Example Tunni sub clan:

In the inter-riverine regions between the Juba and Shabelle rivers, the Digil-Rahanweyn clan, composed primarily of other clans absorbed into the lineage as they settled, adopted a sedentary, agro-pastoral lifestyle.



The Digil and Mirifle, or Rahanweyn, seem to take a middle position between a Somali clan and a minority. They are considered as a minority group by some experts (such as the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in Somalia, Ms Mona Rishmawi). By others they are considered as clans related to the major Somali clans, though considered as less 'noble'. In the Transitional National Assembly (TNA), recently formed in Djibouti, the Digil and Mirifle have been included as one of the major Somali clan-families (with 33 sub-clans) and allotted 49 seats, distinct from the recognised "official" minorities grouped together at Arta under the title "Alliance Clans Community". Different use is made of the names Digil, Mirifle (Merifle) and Rahanweyn. A UN source in Nairobi explained that this is a consequence of an effort made by Siad Barre to amalgamate all these clans under the one name Rahanweyn (the largest group). Originally, however, the Somali distinguished two clan-families, one called the Digil and another variously called Rahanweyn or Mirifle.



The Digil and Mirifle95 are related ethnically to the four main Somali clan-families in various ways. Both Somali and Digil-Mirifle trace their origins back to the same ancestor, at the highest genealogical level: the ancestor of the Digil-Mirifle, Sab, and the ancestor of the four main Somali clan-families, Somali (or Samaale), are traced back to a common ancestor Hill, who is believed to have had Arabian origins. The descendants of Sab are segmented into three families: the Digil, Mirifle (or Rahanweyn) and Tunni; the Mirifle and Tunni derive from the Digil. The Mirifle and Tunni are numerically the most important, but the Digil survive as a small independent confederacy. The Mirifle are concentrated in the inter-riverine areas of Bay and southern Bakool, but they also form substantial minorities in Gedo, the Lower and Middle Juba and the Lower Shabelle regions. The Digil are concentrated in the Lower Shabelle region. Historically, the Digil and Mirifle arose from the intermixture of south-driving Somali with the rearguard of the Galla then occupying most of the lower reaches of the Juba.96 The characteristic structure of the Digil and Mirifle results from the adoption of other groups. Elements from all the other Somali clans as well as Oromo and Bantu have been absorbed in this way. These elements (individuals, families or groups) have been enabled to coalesce, thus forming mixed clans, with a founding lineage acting as a thread round which successive groups crystallise. In this way, relatively stable confederacies, bound together by reciprocal relations of aid and defence, are formed. Such unions are at first organised on the lineage principle. This, however, usually disappears in their further development. The end-point in the process of federation is the mixed village, where lineage segmentation no longer corresponds to territorial distribution. An example is the Tunni confederacy, which is formed by a number of Hawiye, Mirifle, Dir, Galla, Gobawein (Bantu), Ashraf, Ajuran and Boon groupings, with each segment containing an original Tunni lineage.....


In the genealogical structure of the Mirifle (Rahanweyn), the offshoot of the Digil that has come to eclipse its parent stock in number and importance, there are only three orders of segmentation between the ancestor Rahanweyn and the individual sub-clans, in marked contrast to the charts of the nomadic clan-families. Sub-divisions of the Mirifle can be found, e.g. in Lewis (1994a) or Cassanelli (1995). Lewis (1994a) describes the Tunni as a large tribe, or rather tribal confederacy. They lived at one time on the Juba river, but since the tenth century they were driven south-west and eventually settled in and around Brava. They had a mixed cattle-cultivation economy and also hunted. The Tunni Torre, a Negroid group, were federated to the Tunni of Brava as their vassals.98 As described in chapter 7, the Tunni in Brava town are culturally close to the Benadiri (Reer Brava). The five lineages (gamas) which the Bravanese Tunni mention as sub-division of the Tunni clan, can be found in Lewis (1994a) as Daffarat, Werile, Aggiuwa, Dacktira and Goigal, with further sub-groups.99

This looks like a great source. Do you have a link?

I notice that four out of five of the Tunni clans in the chart have Oromo components, so thanks for that. Obviously, the shegad system was alive and well in the South.

You've missed this sentence.

Historically, the Digil and Mirifle arose from the intermixture of south-driving Somali with the rearguard of the Galla then occupying most of the lower reaches of the Juba.96

Thank you, Sir. I've got it bookmarked. And no, I didn't. Just didn't want any more controversy before folks digest what's already on their plates. Let's save it for another day...
