The Dorobo, Bantu and other peoples on the fringes of the Somali nation

Long read alert
lacking a coherent history of the Somali in our history texts, it is not easy to understand these oddly-shaped, ruthless, charismatic and business minded people. You have to dig far to realize that the Somali story hides dorobos, bantus and semi-arabs in their brand.
The Somali people are by their own definition a confederacy of clans descendent from a mythical individual named Samaale. The founding family probably migrated from the present Yemen in the Arabian Peninsula around the 9th century AD to the present Ogaden region of Ethiopia. Recent DNA studies have placed part of their origin, including that of the wider Cushitic or Afro-asiatic group of people to the Levant in the Middle Eastern region. It is Ogaden where the proto-somalis both consolidated as a people and gradually dispersed to the rest of the Horn of Africa. They took over control of cities and trading activities, assimilated a number of indigenous people in that Horn, and achieved nationhood around the 15th century. Like other parts of Africa, they have been colonized by the British, Italians and the French. The emergence from colonialism of a united independent Somalia helped propagate a lie that they had generated to make everyone think they were one people one nation. The desire for homogeneity is expressed in the Somali national flag that has a single five pointed star indicating unity of its peoples scattered in five directions. The Somali had a tendency to brush over or alter its history and imagine themselves homogenous even in the face of contradicting evidence.
A perusal of Somali history reveals a strong tendency to assimilate, subjugate and defile histories of people that existed in the Horn before it became Somalia. The most affected were southern Cushites and ethnic Bantu who comprise about 15% of the total population. Another is the Rahaweyn community that comprises about 20% of the population. These communities may have occupied large swathes of land including the ancient sea ports described in the pre-Islamic document ‘ Periplus of the Erythrean Sea’. However, starting in thereabouts of the 15th century, the pioneers were either dominated or pushed back by the invading Somali. The present Somali clans consider the indigenous people as low caste and have systematically marginalized them. Pastoralists almost predictably look down upon other communities engaged in whatever trade that does not involve cattle. This includes land-tillers who are also counted among marginalized groups of Somalia. The language and culture of these marginalized communities (expect the Rahaweyn) were suppressed and so they currently speak Somali and are also Muslim to a man.
Though loosely referred to as one of the Somali clans, the Rahaweyn however are far from that. They are descendants of the ancient pre-Islamic inhabitants of the Horn. They speak a unique language called Maay and are predominantly farmers. It is safe to assume that they are more related for example to the Rendille of northern Kenya than anyone else in the Horn.
The southern Cushites is an almost extinct ‘dorobo’ community that is nowadays mostly found in northern Tanzania (eg the wa-Iraqw) and some pockets in Kenya – in which remnants include the Yaaku, Dahalo, Watta . Their origin is the Ethiopian highlands and about 6000-3000 years ago they descended down the plains and forest of eastern Africa assimilating hunter gatherers eg the Khoi San. They adapted to hunting and gathering and also kept some livestock. Far later, they were themselves assimilated by Bantu and other communities. Two prominent but marginalized communities in Somalia that are likely to be descendants of the Southern Cushites are the Madhibaan. The Madhibaan who are hunter gatherers are especially despised by the pastoralist Somali for hunting and eating wild animals. They share the sad situation of their Kenyan cousins (eg the Yaaku who live among the pastoralists like the Maasai/Samburu) where their culture and identity has been erased by the dominant Somali. Another ancient Southern Cushitic community is the Yibir who have an unproven self-claim of having Jewish ancestry. Though Muslim, they retain parts of their pagan culture and are famed for magic and ritual practices. Though at some point in history they were a royal community, they now subsist in the fringes of the supposedly noble Somali society. Due to educational marginalization, they have mostly manual trades at their disposal to earn a living in the region’s economy.
Somalis claim that the Bantu arrived in the Horn only as slaves, in the same way Africans made it to the Americas. This claim is too simple, malicious and pedestrian to explain the entirety of Bantu presence in the Horn. The great Bantu Migration that started in present north-eastern Cameroon about 3000 years ago brought the aggressive farmers all the way up to the horn of Africa by the start of the first millennium AD. The first somalian coastal settlements were of Bantu origin established before the 1st century (and can also be credited for other coastal cities further south-but that is a story for another day). Swahili Bantus founded Mogadishu, Kismayu and many other southern Somali cities. There are Bantus that despite migrating upwards and settling in the present Somali coast were unable to make a permanent home there. According to popular legends, some ancestors of Kenya’s Eastern and Coastal Bantus were pushed south by Somalis invaders in the 16th-17th centuries from a prosperous Bantu metropolis called Shungwaya in Southern Somalia. Today the descendants of those pushed south are possibly the Pokomo of the Tana River Basin and the Atigania of the Mount Kenya region. More research is needed to ascertain this myth.
Benadir are an ancient trading community with combined elements of Bantu, Somali and Arab ancestry. They are said to be the founders of the city of Mogadishu. Being original inhabitants of central Somalia, this community presents clear proof of Bantu populations in pre-Somali Horn. In the pre-Islamic era of the Periplus, Arabs rarely settled in trading ports but often mixed with Bantus in the East coast, implying that Benadir are a variation of Swahili people.
The Bajun found in southern Somalia are another example of Swahili Bantu with Arabic and Somali admixtures. They speak a dialect of Swahili and are predominantly fishermen living along the East African coast – from Kismayu all the way to Tana River’s tributary in Kenya. They are likely to have a long pre-Somali history as a purely Bantu group. With time, their heritage has either been erased or restructured to marginalize and displace them from a central role in the Horn of Africa’s rich trading past. Like the Somali Bantu, they suffered under the militias that pillaged and raped Bajun settlements just after the fall of the Siad Barre regime in 1991. Given the lawless nature of southern Somalia since then, it will be difficult to find a single person or entity taking majority responsibility for the genocide.
There is need to develop and disseminate a clear and authentic history of the Somali country’s communities and at the same time to recognize and esteem indigenous communities. Obsession with myths and legends tribal or clan superiority is primitive and outdated in modern democracies. The history of Somalia is biased and highly controlled by the ‘noble’/major clans, and has under-reported their centuries-long savage atrocities on minority groups. The recent (or ongoing) civil war in Somalia has infact been cover for systematic rape and pillaging of minorities. Their persecution, oppression and marginalization will deny legitimacy to the federal Somalianism and marginalization of Somalis outside their country. [ATTACH=full]331592[/ATTACH]

Hii map ilileta sheda a few years ago.

The Somali has been held back by the lowly non-arab otherwise they’d be a first world economy like their neighbors and kin Yemen who are battling Norway for the most advanced society on earth.

In the next 5 years - after a successful Bantu/Digil genocide- there will be high speed trains connecting Kismayo, Baidoa,Galkacyo, all the way to the Berbera coast. Space-X will be launching moon bound spacecraft from Dhuusamareeb.

Explain how you exactly plan to do that.

The Somalian Expansion is still ongoing but limited. Expansion is of two types, the first is traditional raiding expeditions fronted by bandits. This is the form of expansion that enabled them to take over the horn. In East Africa it is is fronted by two types of bandits. The first is one that everyone calls arshambab. this type likes to kill anything that is associated with government including teachers and policemen. The other type of bandit is the cattle herder - clandestinely armed, that drive thousands of cattle and camels hundreds of kilometres from Garissa to graze in other people’s shambas. Such Bandit/herder attacks are rife in Kitui County. The peaceful Taitas are also having to content with herders grazing in their maize fields. The Pokomo and some nasty dorobo of Tana River are always on the alert for marauding herders. The somali agenda in those counties is to establish somali colonies that comprise trading centres, cattle kraals and polling centres to enable political infiltration. This expansion is limited to plains because the somali are a plains people. It is also limited by the government which is also armed and a nuisance to their agenda.
The second type is economic. This is a takeover of business in either urban areas in Africa or more developed countries.

  • globalization has enabled them settle overseas eg US, Scandinavia and Suitafrica. That relieves a lot of pressure from local dorobo and bantu.
  • despite their global expansionist agenda, Somalis have avoided France like plague. Apart from the pride they have in their funny language, faransa are predominantly catholic and try hard to make other religions uncomfortable.
    Islam is not popular in many parts of east africa and the somali expansion there is limited to urban areas that are cosmopolitan. The dorobo and the bantu will live on.

One day Somalia will be peaceful. Nataka wasomali watuondokee waende na kwao.

I could write a whole book on this but i will just summarize

STEP 1 Bantu and Dorobo Self Destruction

The essential causes of the bantu & dorobo decline will lay in …its already happening

[SIZE=5][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]1.Population[/SIZE]
A serious decline of population caused by:
(a)family planning & a-bortion … there are over 450,000 a-bortions every year
(b)Sexual excesses/stds may have reduced bantu fertility
(c)the ablest men marrying latest & breeding the least
(d)Monogamy & drugs

[SIZE=5]2.Incompetent leadership, stifling taxes and consuming tribal wars…[/SIZE]
incompetent leaders have destroyed the bantus civic sense and dried up statesmanship at its source. Powerless, the Bantu has
lost interest in the common good and has became absorbed in his individual salvation & pleasure …look at the kikuyu

[SIZE=5]3 Morals[/SIZE]
this is obvious the Somali is now morally superior to the bantu/jeerer due a Muscular & practical religion and culture…
[SIZE=4]simple experiment :-how many naked Somali women will you see in the internet ?..nimetafuta somali porn nikakosa[/SIZE]

4.[SIZE=5] Class struggle[/SIZE] - destructive wars between the parasitic middle class/rich vs poor

[SIZE=5]5. Failing trade [/SIZE]
this is obvious…

[SIZE=5]Step 2 Somali & Nilotic Take Over… [/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]*on Islam-Islam is becoming popular just go to central and see for yourself. Mombasa & Tanzania had very few Muslims in 80s and 90s they are now converting willingly![/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]*the somali has now become very arabized-most somali women did not wear hijabs until the 90s they were indistinguishable from the oromo or the borana.The arabization + Wahhabi doctrine(advocated by the al-shabaab) will do away with the [/SIZE][SIZE=3]clannism[/SIZE][SIZE=3] & make them more united than ever.[/SIZE]

Races and tribes coexist symbiotically. if you crush one then the other will decline. This is why the Somali as a united state or sultanate can never be so - with all the centuries of oppressing the so-called jareers. The bloated somali ego cannot allow them to operate all sectors of their economy and this led to the irrevocable state fail of 1991. You claim morality will win you a country, but Immorality is worse in Europe so go there and take over. Try putin’s russia where 80 percent of men are vodka addicts, the come tell us. Kama somali ni wanaume, waende TZ waonyeshe wao madharau ati jareer sijui nywele . . . It is only in Kenya and somalia where they run roughshod over other people - the reason being your point #2 which seeming true is however not permanent. Expand, yes, but your brand of islam, one that is not tolerable of other beliefs will confine you in urban ghettos, just as the patels and banyans do.

I would have listed virtue…
A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself within.- durrant

According to Gibbon (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire) the root cause of Roman societal collapse was their loss of civic virtue and individual morality.

Societies and civilizations do not collapse in a day…its a slow process of decay that can take centuries…China is slowly beating the west in every sector…morality is not just about sex, virtue is equivalent to excellence…soma stoicism

The Stoics divide virtue into four main types: wisdom, justice, courage, and moderation. Wisdom is subdivided into good sense, good calculation, quick-wittedness, discretion, and resourcefulness

Stoics divide vice into foolishness, injustice, cowardice, intemperance bla bla bla I will not go into philosophy…contrast these with Christian virtues, while the white man promotes Christian virtues he clearly practices classical ethics…

On your invincible & macho Russians, its clear you haven’t read about Russo - Japanese war. Have you read on how the rapidly modernized japs fucked Russians or how they were able to rape the complacent Chinese ? The afghans with their AK47s wamelemea yunares states… of course I’m not comparing the japs and the Chinese to Somalis but they practise the virtues outlined above.

classical virtue ethics is/was a central feature of Protestantism, Nazism, the soviet mentality and Islam

on a another note–the Spaniards where only able to kick out the Berber emirate in Al-Andalus when the latter became too complacent after 700 years of colonisation…nothing is permanent.
The Kenyan bantu (mostly the mindro class) has become too complacent. when they wake up it will be too late!

meanwhile bantus and nilotes…

[ATTACH=full]331734[/ATTACH]

Bantus are the most powerful group in Africa. They just don’t know it. 1/3 of Africa’s population occupying over 19 countries and in control of government. Waache ujinga.

Good question. By genocide. The same way hutus commited genocide against tutsis because ”they were not originally from Rwanda”. The same way we shall genocide the jareers aka bantus because they are not originally from Somalia.

Jareers think they own africa, calling us half arabs etc (100% fake news, proven by dna tests).

Unless we genocide them today, we will face genocide ourselves. The same kind of genocide tutsis faced.

Somali people wake up, now the jareers are claiming our land and calling us invaders. Its time to start a ”cleaning”, our house is too dirty and its time to CLEAN. Or else…somalis will be the new tutsis. Horrific future is ahead of us unless somali tribes focus on our REAL enemy (sleeping cell bantu) planning for our total genocide.

haha! I wish you would try that. You’ll give bantus a reason in Kenya and across africa to unite.

Be very careful for what you say or wish for. Cause in many cases things can backfire very badly.

I’m not going to sit around and wait for somali genocide by bantus.

I have no hate in my heart, this is about survival

Lol bantus are cowards. You will never take Somalia from me. Last cushites standing…alpha somalis. Lions.

Be very careful for what you say or wish for. Cause in many cases things can backfire very badly.

Don’t try to convince yourself that you don’t have hate inside you. You hate bantus and that is a fact. If we Kenyans had the same thoughts as you, don’t you think Somalis in many parts of kenya would have suffered. Just to let you know, the world/earths owes no one nothing. Its the lands that own us and not us that own the lands.
