Over emphasis on Ethiopia in East Africa. No mention of Somalis and their Islamic kingdoms that conquered Solomonid Ethiopian kingdom. The lack of mention of Mogadishu and Zeila and the coastline and it's enormous merchant wealth it controlled in the middle ages. The repulsion of the Portuguese from the Horn coast by native Somali kingdom of Ajuran. It's started to disgust me when he lavishly praised Ethiopia for it's Christianity and failed to mention the rise of Somali Islamic kingdoms. If we talking about Lailbela, then let's also talk about Harar, the fourth holiest place of Islam in Africa founded by Somalis. A glance over Punt prominence in the ancient world. Etc., How you gonna talk about Islam in Africa when Somalia was the first African country to accept before the Berbers and North Africans. Sada Mire is bae tho
I don't see that as revision but more of them ignoring most of African history and focusing on what they think they know... Did they at least talk about the Swahili coast?Over emphasis on Ethiopia in East Africa. No mention of Somalis and their Islamic kingdoms that conquered Solomonid Ethiopian kingdom.

Adal nearly conquered the Solomonid Kingdom in its entirety. They came close but the Solomonid's managed to survive, thanks to Portuguese intervention.
Isn't it a stretch to sugges that Hararis are Somali? Native Hararis are Semites and not Cushytic in origin.

Yes. The Hararis are Semitic in language but culturally closer to Somalis and Oromos and Afars. The smaller cushytic groups like Harla, Gurangue were more allied to us.
After Italy's defeat in World War 2, Harargay which encompassed the Harari and Somali Ogaden regions, fell under British authority. The Italians made a strong case at the United Nations that Ethiopia should not have dominion over this region. The British feeling embarrassed at the international arena conceded to this fact.
SYL opened an office in Harar to persuade Harargay province, to join soon to be independent Somalia. The Hararis set up the Kulub movement and sent in their request to join Somalia via U.N. When the British were about to back this initiative, the committee leaders withdrew this due to a hefty bribe offered by Haile Selassie. After the Ethiopian government successfully eliminated this threat, the Amhara regime thus began systematic genocide against the Harari people. The Amharas attempted to wipe out any historical links Hararis had to the city of Harar.
Members and relatives of the Kulub Movement were targeted by Amharas therefore many left to Somalia and their descendants would join Somalia's national army in the 60's. During the Ogaden war, it was some of these ex kulub affiliates that pressured the barre regime to fulfill Greater Somalia.
The founder of Harar was a Somali, hailed from the Somali tribe of Daarood, The Marehan lineage, he's name was Sheikh Abadir Musa Warwaje'le.

Has there ever been a documentary series on the 'Scramble for Africa'?
Grano-Grano

You should order the Conquest of Ethiopia or Futuh Al Habasha. It's the national story of Somalis. Like our own Kebra Negast. It's a historical account of a Yemeni historian chronicling the war between Adal and Abyssinia and the international geopolitics of Portugal and the Ottoman empire fighting a proxy war.

You should do a thread about West Africa in the ancient times before Islam and Christianity. I'm fascinated about pre Abrahamic African history.
