I don't know but we somalis usually claim the Ancestors of the Somali People are Shiekh Isaaq, Darood Ismail Jaberti and so on. These were muslim arab men that came to Somalia.[/quote]
they came from? and why they did hide the names of their ancestors?
if that was true they would tell it to their children. a man from Quraysh or Khasraj would never hide it.

Did your Awoowe tell you that? Can you trace somali people before the time of the prophet pbuh?
somalis existed before the prophet ! that's a fact !

somalis have more ancient egyptian blood than arab blood.
you are right, Leonida. they look more like Oromos than Hadramis!

I once heard that the word originated from the words ''waad qoyi'' meaning you'll get wet and it is what the people who lived in the Hawd regions would call northern somalia because of its coasts ( i.e. the sea .. where one might get wet LOOL)

Only a completer and utter moron would believe the notion that we (Somalis) have only Arab origin. Sure, we must have intermarried with them, but most Somalis are indegenous to the horn of Africa. I don't believe personally in this Arab origin myth...we are one people, from one ancestor. End of story/

:lol: @ magaca Hargeysi waa naag oromo ah. the name hargeysa came only about 100 years ago, before it was called Herer.
laakiin waxaan ku waydiiyay where did you get the idea of hargeysa being Oromo name?

samatar133 is right the old name for hargeysa was "Herer" that was named after the Togaherer which was one of the first places the city was estabilished.
