The very fact that in the video above he talks about Somalis defeating portugal, and Ethiopia and being the first to use cannons in war in africa speaks for itself.

The fact Somalis were not enslaved or controlled by any of our Arab/Turks shows that we are a strong people. We even spread Islam all the way into the heart of Ethiopia and south into Kenya and Tanzania.

You are proud of spreading islam. So you now accept that you were raped by Arabs? Is Islam an indigenious religion of somalia,you idi-iot? Is the canon from a somali origin? I was expecting things like the first to write a language. The first to build an empire. Not this sort of nonesense.

axum:



Ethiopia colonized Somalia? How is that possible when they saw themselves as the same people.

1400 years ago, when the early followed of Islam sought refuge (Abssyinia -ethiopia) let them settle in northern Ethiopia (now northern Somallia), it is those people who became muslim and identified as Somali who later colonized Ethiopia and spread Islam.

And it was Somalis who didnt enslave Muslims, Ethiopiasn were christians and enslaved Nilotic and Negroid people

Stop claiming Ethiopia! They have a civilization,you don't. They have culture,you don't. They are smarter than you. Ethiopia colonized Somalia,why are you afraid of your history. Infact,you are the only African nation colonized by Arabs, Asians, Europeans, Africans and you never lifted a finger against them.

axum:


What are you talking about? what is zap? and one traveler called Somalis berber.

Somalis were the first to use cannon in warfare in Africa, thus defeating Ethiopia and portugal in 1500's when your people were shipped as cattle.

Somalis had the biggest shipping boats in East Africa. Listen to your Bantu friend talk about our culture\

slowpoke, if you call Ethiopia what is now the geogrphy of Ethiopia than know that half of it is inhabited by 5 Million Somalis.
If you look at the Ethiopia of 1500-1900 most of that was controlled by Somalis
If you look at the Ethiopia of pre 600 Ad (before Islam) there was no ethnic groups but Cushitic people (ancestors of Somalis, Amahara, Oromo)


So the entire History of Ethiopia was shaped by Somalis or their ancestors. But our culture and history was not shaped by Ethiopia, as it became an off shoot after Islam came to the Horn.


Again you Dumb H0e go learn history, no Ethiopian would disagree with what I said there, as it is fact.

We colonized Arabs before Islam, Arabs never came to the Horn to colonize anyone. Infact it was Turkey (OTTOMAN EMPIRE) and thousands of Arabs who helped Somalis fight against Ethiopia.

Every language has borrowed word, borrowed word in Somali are a couple of hundred out of millions of words.

Arabs call Somalis- AS-somaal meaning the Somalis. nothing else.


Again get your bantu head examined and make sure ur weave is not on too tight. You are nothing but a slave.

Somalis have done more than what any bantu can do. Your people couldn't even stop a couple hundred white men from taking your women and kids and raping them and enslaving them for hundreds of years.

lmao pathetic.

Slavery as it stands is as old as man. So i expect you to move out of that zone and think of another Subject. Somalis were hungry nomads that were civilized by different nations. No culture,no religion, no civilization whatsoever.

1. You are clearly very ignorant of the region called the Horn of Africa.

2. Ethiopia is made of hundreds of ethnic groups - the most powerful being Oromo (muslims - cousins of Somalis), Amahara, and Somalis.

3. Somalis had kingdoms like Ajuraan, Adaal, Ifat, Ajuraan took over almost all of Ethiopia for many years. This is why half are muslim today.

4. Read the conquest of Ethiopia- which was a war where all the churches were burned and Somalis took over the whole country.

5. You have a lopsided view of Ethiopia. Ethiopia is multi ethnic and half Muslim. While Somalia is all Somali ethnicity and 100% Muslim and a member of the Arab League along with Djibouti (a majority Somali country). Eritrea (hates ethiopia, and is allied with Somalis, and is 25%muslim). Eritrea even applied to be in the Arab League but was given observer status, while Somalia and Djibouti are members.

6. Most of the geopolitics of the Horn is heavily influenced by one ethnic group (Somali), rather than the hundreds of ethnic groups in Ethiopia.

7. Even inside Ethiopia, domestically the 2nd largest state is the Ogaden(Somali inhabited) and control much of high positions.

8. Your view on Somalia and Ethiopia is more like Israel and Palestine. which is not the case. As Somalis and Ethiopia are same Origins, and have fought and controled overlapping territory for the past 1000 years. Before that their was no ethiopian or somali identity but a Cushitic identity and no Islam.

2. It was Somalis who gave refuge to Arabs (when Muslims were getting persecuted by pagan Arabs 1400 years ago).

4. Our culture is Somali, so is our language, and our religion is Islam.

5. Arabs themelves were nomads, but just like Arabs, Somalis eventually moved to the cities where great kingdoms arose, and they became a sea faring people.

6. Our impact on the world is more than that of all bantus combined, who have been nothing more than slaves. How does another human come to your own land and take your women, and children and rape them and make them work for them for hundreds of years. And then you wear a wig on your head to look like a white woman, and the black men run after white women, and you take the religion that was forced on you. WTF

Somalias were invaded and colonized by Many Nations. I've already written that before,i wouldn't write it again! You have no writing system, no international contribution,no culture and no religion.

1. You have a simple time understanding basic facts.

2. Much of the history of Ethiopia is Somali history. As Somalis didnt magically appear out of nowhere. Somali was an identity that arose after Islam, the eastern part of Ethiopia closest to Arabia (where arabs settled because of refuge) slowly adopted Islam and traded with Arabs. That eastern region began to identify more and more together until a Somali identity arose. This is when we Somalis invaded Ethiopia.


3. Any Ethiopian will tell you this, as they regret ever allowing Arabs to seek refugee because it led to the disintegration of Ethiopia. This is why Somalis began to brake off, eventually Eritrea and Djibouti broke off as well.

4. The entire horn (Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti) are the same people and are Cushitic people. They are closely related to Nubians in Sudan too and all the way into southern egypt, thus why we speak the same language family. We even invaded into Negroid land, and used them as slaves. Unfortunately for Ethiopia, the empire got too large and diverse and started to break up.

2. Ethiopians history is deeply tied to Somali history, as they were controlled by us for the past couple hundred years. What part of that do you not understand? We are the same people until 1200-1400 years ago

Between 1529 and 1543, the Somali military leader Imam Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi defeated several Ethiopian emperors and embarked on a conquest referred to as the Futuh Al-Habash ("Conquest of Abyssinia", which brought three-quarters of Christian Abyssinia under the power of the Muslim Sultanate of Adal.[5][6] With an army mainly composed of Somalis,[7] Al-Ghazi's forces and their Ottoman allies came close to extinguishing the ancient Ethiopian kingdom.

However, the Abyssinians managed to secure the assistance of Cristóvão da Gama's Portuguese troops and maintain their domain's autonomy. Both polities in the process exhausted their resources and manpower, which resulted in the contraction of both powers and changed regional dynamics for centuries to come. Many historians trace the origins of hostility between Somalia and Ethiopia to this war.[8] Some scholars also argue that this conflict proved, through their use on both sides, the value of firearms such as the matchlock musket, cannons and the arquebus over traditional weapons.[9]


In 1529, Imam Ahmad's Adal troops defeated a larger Ethiopian contingent at the Battle of Shimbra Kure. The victory came at a heavy cost but it solidified the Somali forces' morale, providing proof that they could stand up to the sizable Ethiopian army.

The victories that gave the followers of Imam Ahmad the upper hand came in 1531. The first was at Antukyah, where cannon fire at the start of the battle panicked the Ethiopian soldiers. The second was on 28 October at Amba Sel, when troops under the Imam not only defeated but dispersed the Ethiopian army and captured items of the Imperial regalia. These victories allowed the Somalis to enter the Ethiopian highlands, where they began to sack and burn numerous churches, including Atronsa Maryam, where the remains of several Emperors had been interred.[10] The country was looted by the Ahmad's forces, who destroyed several Christian monuments and oppressed the non-Muslim Amhara and Tigray.
