damn now it only made your statement even dumber, colonial capitalist wanting soviet sattlelite state in most strategic area in world, is even worse than what i misread.
also the british researcher said he barely know somali and his evidence is ''they kinda both have similair building which look similiar to arabs ones'' which logically if you consider they were under a islamic empire in the middle ages.
we're talking about period of history where europeans were making isane racial theories about themeselves and your telling me that they know more about the harti lineage than harti themeselves because they saw building that look similar.
the worst is that nobody here is denying we share history with harari people
It wasn't colonialists that created 'Somalia', it was the influence of communism and socialism. Colonisers respected the clan boundaries, the Ogaden was taken by Menelik b4 the British took it after and gave it back. It was inevitable, Ethiopia was gonna get it. If anything, the treaties made Somalia lose less territory.
"Now, first of all, let us see who these Haifa were
who are said to have lived before the Gallas. I think
there can be little doubt that they were the descendants
of Harrlah, brother of Harti and Gherri, and son of
Kumbi, who was one of the direct descendants of
Darod. This shows that the Harla were of the same
stock as the other Darod tribes, and consequently
were Somalis and not Gallas."
This researcher wasn't a nutter, there's other pieces of evidence. Have you ever wondered why 'Ogaden' doesn't have an actual meaning, root, or etymology in af Somali? cuz it's not originally Somali. The region, along with Hararge, was ruled by the Harla Cushites. There's cave paintings in Hararge which are linked to the Harlas. Harlas lived in different parts, Ogaden, Puntland, Muqdisho areas, and northern Kenya (the Cushites that got karbashed in northern Kenya were likely the Harlas). You'll probably want more evidence, right? Going back to the word 'Ogaden', the only other language that has a meaning for it is Harari (descendant of Harlas) which means "road to Yemen" which makes sense, it was used as an old route for trade from Harar to Yemen.
Now, Harla were in Puntland region (notice how Harlas keep appearing in Darood regions even when divided by distance? Researcher was right again), where did 'Garowe' get its name from since, again, there's no meaning in Somali? 'Gar' means household but also meant 'region' in Harari (descendant language of Harla). In Harar, 'Gar' is still used to refer to homes. It is an old harla term, an administrator is called garad, a title for nobles.
and look at that, Garaad is a titled used by Daroods during Adal (again Darood connection) andu probbably guessed it, it's Harari in origin. The title 'Garaad' is Harari in origin and you can look it up for yourself.
The end. If you still think it's bs then you're just in denial lol
