Then WHO?

muafrika:
The Eastern part of Africa, basically the entire region to the East of the rift valley, where the orma meet the pokomo and Mijikenda, the Rendile meet the Borana, Turkana, and Samburu. Where the Maasai meet the Kikuyu, Kalenjin and Luhya, and the Bajuni meet the Oromo, and many more. Of course, this never happened within Somalia.

axum:



You did say Cushitic, didn't you. Cause the only meeting between Cushitic is when Ethiopians and Somalis enslaved Bantus. There was no brotherhood there. IF it were not for Italians forcing Somalis and Ethiopians to free the Bantus slaves, i DOUBT you would be talking to me over the internet, this conversation would be taking place face to face while you pick my crops on my farm. Just saying.


Keep Cushitic/Somali/Ethiopian/Eritrean out of your Vocab.

muafrika:
You guys are underfed pretty men and weaklings. Enslave Bantus? You wish.

axum:



lol, I hate to break it to you, but this is true. Infact Ethiopians enslaved nilotes and bantus for centuries, somalis have too. Arabs have too.

Weaklings? lol, so I assume the Bantus with muscles are strong? lol, hardly the case when you consider that Bantus have been enslaved by Arabs, Ethiopians, Somalis, Persians, Europeans. Maybe you guys are strong and dumb.

muafrika:
You live in a desert. Herdsmen. Why? That is the furthest you could conquer, and people were not part of that conquest, just lizards in the punishing sun. That you live on the fringes of the continent should be telling of how far your power reaches.

muafrika:
What city would you be talking of Mogadisho? That ghetto? We live in huts? You have no idea of how your people build shelter do you?

Where did your European-like civilization go to? Shouldn't you be at least in the top ten African Economies with your kind of genious? Giving London a run for their money? No?

Two words for strategic location, SUEZ CANAL. It was dug out by colonialists just the other day. Nothing much happened there before.

Finally, cows, cattle eat grass. The desert is no place for them and am sure European nomads did not have to graze their cattle in the deserts.

Mogadishu was the center of trade in east africa. Somalia was known as Punt and traded with Egypt for thousands of years.

muafrika:
And this information is only privy to you?

Wulfruna:
How much does Mogadishu owe to the local Somalis. History says the it was the Arabs who established the city, and even its name derives from Persian.

Show me anywhere in Somalia where you can find the equal of the intellectual output of Timbuktu. :/

axum:



The local name is Xamar, its internationally known as Mogadishu. There are no Arabs in Mogadishu (maybe a couple hundred turks). Just cause Arabs came there to trade doesnt mean they created the place. Somalis have lived there, it was arabs who came there to trade with us.

Its like Somalis going to India to trade and saying they created India. Doesnt make sense. Mogadishu has over 3million people. It was the capital of several Somali sultanates.

Why do you look for every opportunity to attempt to educate people on Somalia? Especially people from an axis of Africa who can afford to and do so very easily forget that such a country exists? Why so insecure?
Nigerians are a confident, proud, self-absorbed lot, might do you and your ilk good to borrow a leaf.

axum:



This is common knowledge. Name any other City in Subsaharan Africa (Excluding Ethiopia) that has as much history as Mogadishu?

By the way are you a man or woman?

axum:



Sorry to disappoint, i have been very busy the last couple of weeks. My apologies.

By the way, the very fact that my name cannot be uttered, in itself is a feat only accomplishable by a Somali.

BlackKenichi:

Yet the Swahili states were much richer!

adamskutty:
Mehn! Dead culture section is rising again.

Axum my boy is doing what he knows how to do best

axum:



Its almost like you have no perception of Irony.

There were no swahili states, they were all slaves. Thus the reason why four countries all speak Swahili which are the countries enslaved by Arabs, and their final destination was the port of mogadishu to be sent as servants to the middle east.


these swahili states were Muslim, persian and arab and used Bantu slaves. You are very dumb.

BlackKenichi:

Bwahahahahahaha! You're retarded! The fact that Swahili language has about 15% Arabic and Persian vocabulary doesn't mean it's not indigenous language. Most of the people and even the rulers were indigenous! You keep saying Bantu were slaves yet today they far surpass Somalia. It must be a pain being weak chinned, ugly, khat chewing, dumbfuck, Somali male!

It's also funny seeing Somali men taking a punch. i.e. They can't take a punch for toffee, much like Middle Eastern men!

BlackKenichi:
@muafrika:
Are you Kenyan?

axum:



Ask any Bantu from Kenya. They know their history.

muafrika:
This guy is clueless BlackKenichi. We do not bow to weaklings.

@Axum true to our Bantu identity, we'll receive as many Somali refugees as we can on our Bantu thread.
