He publishes many books and articles fulls of lies. Claiming the Jareerweyne precede Somalis in South Somalia, that they are native to this region, that they are more numerous than ethnic Somalis in aforementioned region, exaggerates the discrimination they receive, and constantly bitch and moans about ethnic Somalis.

His level of butt-hurt is off the charts. He's like a real life version of resident troll ''SteadyState''.

Yeah, I've just seen the full video. He talks a lot of nonsense mixed with nuggets of truth. Why are there no Somalis combatting his nonsense?

Since Somalia became independent in 1960, the country has been under the control of Cushitic Pastoral. The Cushitic continuously discriminates against the ethnic Bantus, and declines all aspects of their rights; including sharing power, resources, political participation, and equal opportunity of education. The reason Somali Bantu experienced such adversities, is because of the fact that they are ethnically different than the rest of the Cushitic’s.
In 1969, when the Cushitic members of the army led by General Siad Barre took power of the entire country, the Bantu’s situation deteriorated dramatically. More than 45% of Bantu’s inherited fertile farming land, got misappropriate by the regime. The Regime confiscated the fertile farming land by convincing Bantu land owners that the land was going to be used to produce massive amounts of sugar cane and rice for the public interest.
Unfortunately this was not the fact; instead the confiscated farming land and all productions and resources were used for personal gains of the relatives, friends, in laws, and interest groups of Siad Bare, and his ruling family members. Furthermore, a massive number of Somali Cushitic refugees from Ogaden Region and displaced Cushitic People from Central Region of Somalia were resettled on to Jubba’s fertile farming land which was and still is the epicentre of the Somali Bantu’s farming land and the Regime’s intention was to empower the Cushitic nomads to over-take Bantu’s fertile farming land.
In 1991, when the Civil war began, the Somali Bantus refused to participate it because Somali Bantu are peace loving and urban civilized society. Also, the civil-war was between Cushitic tribes due to power, natural resources and the ownership of the fertile farming land in Jubba and Shebelle Regions owned by an armed Somali Bantus. Consequently, the civil-war caused a mass genocide, rape and displacement of the Somali Bantu people inflicted by the strongly armed tribal militias.
From February 1991 to December 1992, more than 70,000 people including children, women and elders got murdered or died for decease and starvation. Many others were displaced around the country, or fled to neighbouring countries. This genocide was intentionally planned by tribal militias led by war-lords who robbed all the property including food, clothing and livestock from the Somali-Bantus and at the same time blocked International Humanitarian Relief Agencies to have access or distribute Rations and other live supporting supplies.
The Newly established Federal Government and Regional Administration Institutions are based on tribalism and marginalization of ethnic Bantu who resides nine (9) regions out of eighteen (18) regions of Somalia.

It's a fact their women were raped and land and property were seized during the civil war and chaos that followed. Any small qabiil and anybody that couldn't defend themselves were the easiest target including the Bantu.

They were not genocided and as for rape, ethnic Somali women were and still are raped too. The war was affected by all Somalis but no one particularly targeted them as they are making it sound infact, the war largely affected ethnic Somalis. They need quit with their lies against us.
