Re: Arabs Helped Build Somalia
Bro, its called insecurity and low self-esteem. They don't have the confidence to believe in what they are. Kolba wax madow ama cadaan ama carab ku yidhi bey la yimaadaan.

Re: Arabs Helped Build Somalia
Well said.Oxidant wrote:For many years, Mogadishu stood as the pre-eminent city in the بلد البربر Bilad al Barbar ("Land of the Berbers"), which was the medieval Arabic term for the Horn of Africa.] Following his visit to the city, the twelfth century Syrian historian Yaqut al-Hamawi wrote that it was inhabited by dark-skinned Berbers, the ancestors of the modern SomalisAbdihaliim wrote:Ibn Battuta's Account of MogadishuMurax wrote:Lets be real, Somalia's biggest cities were founded by Arabs inparticular Omanis, Marka, Mogadishu, Baraawe, Kismaayo, etc. To be honest Somalis for the most part were Reer Baadiye around that time.
For comparison, the Muslim traveler Ibn Battuta (1304-1369) visited the East Coast of Africa about a century earlier than Zheng He and Fei Xin, in 1331. He visited Mogadishu, which he described as “a town of enormous size. Its merchants are possessed of vast resources; they own large numbers of camels, of which they slaughter hundreds every day [for food], and also have quantities of sheep. In this place are manufactured the woven fabrics called after it, which are unequalled and exported from it to Egypt and elsewhere.”
Arabs came after 1700!
Somalis built Mogadishu,Harrar and Zelia
Murux is simply propagating a specific historiography created and spread by the former regime and its sympathizers. This denial of Somali achievement is meant to both belittle and rewrite history in the attempt of creating or initiating an entirely bogus and false substitution of reality in which certain myths and characters are elevated and exaggerated while at the same time denying and erasing the real visible contributions made by Somalis who did not hail from certain groups.
Thankfully, reality is never is erased and history can never be denied.
Somalia was built and destroyed by Somalis and only Somalis can lead the way in the resurrection of what has been lost and make it even better. We are hopeful
