Somalia
has experienced a turbulent past, and as
such, the history of Somalis is fraught
with a great deal of speculation. Numerous
sources place Arabia as the original
homeland of the Somali people, others
suggest a more indigenous provenance that
some say can be traced all the way
back to the first millennium BCE. The
ancient ancestors of the Somali people,
proponents of this propose, split off from
an early cushitic speaking in the
highlands of Ethiopia, and are referred to
as the Sam. The Sams are said to be
a sub-type of Omo-tana and are believed to
have evolved into the Somalis as they
transitioned first from Somaal and later
the Somali people.{1}
A tool
that uses the genes of modern populations
to trace their ethnic and geographic
origins has also helped pinpoint the
possible background of the modern Somalis.
According to one prominent European
Journal of human Genetics, the Somalis are
closely related to certain Ethiopian and
Eritrean groups: The data suggests that
the male Somali population is a branch of
the East African population- closely
related to the Oromos in Ethiopia and
North Kenya-with predominant E3b1 cluster
lineage that were introduced into the
Somali population 4000-5000 years ago, and
that the male Somali population has
approximately15% Y chromosomes from
Euroasia and aproximately 5% from
sub-Saharan Africa.
Besides
comprising the majority of the Y DNA in
Somalia, the E1b1b(formerly E3b) genetic
hablogroup also makes up the bulk of the
paternal DNA of
Ethiopians,Eritreans,Berbers,North African
Arabs as well as many Mediterranean and
Balkan Europea. {2}
The
Land known as Ethiopia today is the
homeland of the Gala people and the only
reason that the Abbyssennian
Chtistians of the minority Amharas &
Tigrays were and still ruling our Galaland(
Somali,Oromo) is because of the christian
crusders who agrressively and continously
waged a genocidal war against the
peoples of the horn of Africa who
were pagans before they converted to Islam
little over 14 centures ago..
History
tells that there was a kingdom of Somaal
in what is today somalia and Ethiopia. There
was no relationship, blood or otherwise
between Arabs and Somails before the
arrival of the early muslims in the Biyaa
Oramaa(Galaland). We were never Arabs, and
never will be, for those in the west
who do not know the difference between
Arabs and muslims ought to note of
the fact that the overwhelming majority of
muslims are non Arab.
one of
the most reliable books wrtitten about
somalia is called: (The Islam In Somalia)
and is authored by an egyptian who
travelled across the country, researching
the culture, tombs, langauges spoken and,
and ultimately drew the conclussion that
the present day Somali langauge is
simlar to the langauge spoken in ancient
Egypt some 5000 years ago.
Greater
Somalia drean down, but not out
The
five edged white star in the center of the
sky blue flag of Somalia symbolizes the
five parts of the dismembered Greater
Somalia, and are, british Somaliland,
italian Somaliland that gained
independence and united under the republic
of Somalia on July, 1960. plus Djibouti
which is partialy independent but
mostly occupied by the U.S and
French troops, NFD and the abbyssenian
Somaliland which is under the merciless
clutches of the tigray dogs.
The
somali Republic has since ceased to exist
and usurped by the abbysseenians, but
the difference is that the north West and
north Eastern regions of Somalia did not
stir a finger when the tree fell on them,
whereas, the cenrtral and southern regions
of the dismembered Republic are still with
the help of the masses ressisting the
daily barage of the abbyssennian heavey
artilery.
The
greater Somalia dream is held dear to the
heart by all true patriotic Somalis of
today as well as those of yesteryears, but
was first officialy floated when in early
1946, the British Foreign Seretary Mr
Bevin in a speach to the house
of commons proposed the idea of
greater Somalia under British rule,
claiming that this will improve the lives
of the nomadic people of Greater Somalia,
but was and is percieved as a way of save
-guarding and stregthening the British
interests and influences in that part of
the world, while keepiing the dwindling
power and influence of the defeated Italy as
far away as possible. The British
proposal of Greater somalia under
British adminstration was rejected by the
remaing three( USA,USSR,France), Four
Power commission.[3]
The
honorable Abdullahi Majoor became a member
of the Somali Young League on January
12,1946 narrated the following to
me:
On
January 1948 there was a somali youth
League convention in Mogadishu and a
delegation of four power commission were
also in town to learn first hand the aspirations
of the Somali people in terms of
independence and met with leaders of the
pro-independence party( The SYL) and those
of the pro-italaian rule parties. The
Somali youth League organized a huge
demonstration to show the fact finding
commission how popular and strong the
yearning, desire and the demand for
independence is, unfortunately a pro-
italian colonial rule counter-demonstration was
hastly organized and staged by: Progresso
Party led by Musse Samatar and Adan shire(
Adan Low),Digil & Mirifle Party led by
abdulqadir soobe, The African Party led by
Mohamed Sheikh Osman(Edmondo) and several
other smaller parties led by Islow mahadle.[4]
In
the confussion of the opposing
demonstrations a violence instigated by
the Italian residents and their
colloboraters got out of hand and as a
result 52 Italians and 11 somalis were
killed.
Soon
after the Power of four Commissin left,
the Chief British Military
Adminstration(BMA) summoned the Somali
Youth Legue(SYL) leadership and offered to
give to Somalia all disputed area
with Ethiopia, except Dirir dhabe, Harar
and Moyaale but the SyL leaders vowed
never to accept anything if
all not offered.
Dr.Abdirashid
Ali Sharmarke was the Prime minister of
Somalia in 1962 and I was a member of
Pariment when the British goverment
offered to cede three (Mandhera,Wajir,
Garissa)of the six NFD districts claimed
by Somalia to Somalia in exchange for
the Somalia membership of Common Wealth
Countries, but sadly enough, the
Abdirashiid Goverment rejected the offer,
and all be told a year later lost
Mandera, Wajir, Garissa, Moyaale, siyelow
and Marsabit for good to Kenya..[5]
The
Nomadic Somali speaking people who by
Colonial boundry" arrangements"
found themsel dismembered. About
two-thirds of them live under the national
flag of the Somali Republic and the
remainder are divided between Djibouti(
former French Somaliland), Ethiopia and
Kenya. This historical error
prompted the then Somali Presiden/Prime
Minister, Dr. Abdirashid Ali Sharmarky to
say this:
"No!
Our misfortune is that our neighboring
countries whom we seek to promote
constructive and harmonious relations are
not our neighbors, but our Somali kinsmen
whose citizenship has been falsified by
indiscriminate boundry
"arrangements". They have to
move across artificial frontiers to their
pasture lands. They occupy the same
terrain and pursue the pastural economy as
ourselves. We speak the same langauge. We
share the same God, the same
culture, and the same traditions. How can
we regard our brothers as
foreigners?"[6]
