Lets Talk African History: Somalis. An underrated history

[Poitier]

No it's the appropriate forum to debate it. I don't mind @Karbaash handing you another "karbaash" aka ass whooping on this subject

"bu bu this hippo DNA is the same as these ancient hippos"

This thread

Can't post much right now due to Ramadan and time constraints.

Will post what I can find later on. Would also love to explore the subject of Somali identity since it keeps coming up over and over again (especially in relation to xenophobia).

@Diasporan Royalty only makes positive and informative threads. If you were in HL more youd win POY every year. Thanks for turning this sub forum into an interesting afro centric place instead of the bushes lite

In ancient times, naval engagements between buccaneers and merchant ships were very common in the Gulf of Aden. In the early Middle Ages, a Somali army invaded Aden in Yemen and expelled the Malagasy rulers, and afterwards settled in the city and the surrounding valley.

"Encyclopaedia of the history of science, technology and medicine in non-western cultures", by Helaine Selin, 1997, pg 761.

Can yall expand on this? Did not know there was Malagasy rulers outside of Madagascar, let alone Yemen. And did not know Somalis invaded Yemen.
