So you have denounced your church's teachings of the last 2,000 years about your origins? It was all a myth then .

Some Somali clans were fixated about Arab ancestry that millions of them went to the grave believing that crap.

Major Somali clans have no association with Arab lineage, with rare exception of the outlier sub-clans. These outlier sub-clans are numerically (and politically) not that significant.

I don't think you understand my Church's teachings then, nor understand what's inside the content of the Kebre Nigist and what it actually covers. And you actually need the latter to understand the former, vice versa.

And what do you class as major and what is minor (clan)? Because from what I've seen, even if the forefather was born in Somalia, it always mentions Arab ancestry.
We are not fixated either btw actually.
