Every time I hear Africa's coming population boom it's always followed by Westerns complaining about over population. What are they planning? 🤔
Lol they won’t do anything. But African industrializing will impact global warming and also probably endanger a lot of the wildlife. Cadaan want their safaris and no immigrants

Somalis conquered basically the whole Horn under Adal and economically dominated the Swahili Coast and had cities like Sofala mining gold from inland Africa. There was also a Somali ruler in the Maldives named Abd al-Aziz of Mogadishu. As for Southern Arabia we did conquer Aden and settled there for a while.

“According to Ibn Al-Mujawir, they were expelled by the Berbera, i.e. people of Somali stock, who then conquered Aden and the valley; afterwards, a period of decline and ruin followed until new settlers appeared, coming from Siraf.”

There wasn’t much to conquer around us due to geographical restraints and lack of drive due it not being worth it. The only place I can think of where Somalis actively tried conquering is the Horn, everything else just seemed like circumstance tbh. We are mostly a peaceful merchant trading nation kinda thing but I prefer that it’s more interesting.
Which empire conquered it and if you don't know, when did they conquer it and for how long?
 
What an outrageous and laughable claim! There isn't any concrete evidence to suggest that Somalis conquered Mozambique and established a colony in Somalia. Arab Faqih makes it clear that Ethio-Semitic speakers formed the dominant section of the Adal population. He also makes it clear that the sedentary agriculturalist population of Harar provided both the leadership in the jihadic war and that they were the majority of the fighters, at least during the early days of the jihad.
Hassen saysAfar and Somalis made up the majority of the fighters. Why are you using old documents from 2003 when Hassen changed his mind and admitted that Somalis were the majority in 2017
