Old_Observer Posted October 20, 2019 BTW DNA will soon put to rest the tribal lineage claims. It would be very funny if the Imam is found to be half or full Xabeshi. The Hareri have a lot of Xabeshi in them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xaaji Xunjuf Posted October 20, 2019 Xabashi is not an ethnic group tigre kebessa tigray gurage amhara argoba are all xabashi. Some say only the highlanders are xabasha and the Muslim tigre lowland Eritrea are not. Having said that the adal Ethiopia war was about geopolitics and power. Amde tsion amhara King raided as far as western Somaliland two centuries before the adal Ethiopia war. So it was more than just resources. I agree it later turned into a religious war because religion is what united the different ethnic groups afar somali harari argoba because of Islam and their ottoman allies. But in reality it was a geopolitical war between the empire of Portugal and the ottoman empire. Ethiopia though has one hero they all respect its Menelik. Only tigrayans and some arsi oromo view him in a negetive sense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old_Observer Posted October 20, 2019 11 hours ago, Xaaji Xunjuf said: Axmed guray or Ahmed gran as the amharas call him referred the somalis as Soomaals excluding him self from the Somali. The bulk of his army were mostly Somalilanders and he was born in zeila the first capital of walashma and the second capital of ifat. The mad mullah how ever is more controversial character he also a Muslim jihadi but he has killed more Somalis than he did against the Europeans. From 1899 up to 1904 he led some battles against the brits. But after the ilig treaty it was a pure a camel raiding gang. They were more like the modern Al shabaab. I thought you knew something about Ethiopia. If Tigray, Afar, Oromo, Sidama, Somali...don't even consider him as useful let alone a hero, how can you even say Ethiopians have one common hero. There is no Xabeshi without the Tigre and Tigray since Xabeshi means mixed race. The rest is all partial like a clan or two from Afar, a clan or two from Saho and few clans from Agew that are deeply mixed with either the Tigre or Tigray or both. There is actually no more as contraversial as Menelik in Ethiopia. How could the Afar take him for a hero when he arrested their Sultan by arranging with Italy and France to attack the Sultan from 3 sides? How can the Oromo take him for a hero when they have monument to remember the breasts he cut and the hands of men he cut? How can the Somali take him for a hero? How can the Sidama or Welayta take him for a hero? I think Tigray and Afar actually are tolerant, unless you force them to sing Menelik's praises. They accept that he did everything for his tribe by accepting everything the Europeans asked. They both know it was the Europeans who won who planed and who executed their plan. If you never had a controlling state and is developed enough to have schools to teach children a common hero or common history..you cannot have common hero. The Amxara were so backward they were only capable to use guns Europeans gave them. They can't have schools to teach Ethiopians common culture or history. And now its impossible to have common history. Anything the Tigray do not accept cannot be Xabeshi history. Other nationalities can tolerate the Tigray, but not Amxara fake history.

Suldaanka Posted October 20, 2019 16 hours ago, galbeedi said: I can assure you that in official records there is no such thing as Habar Magada with any connections in Zaylac , Harar or the Adal wars that stretched from 1500-1600. The Magaado are hawd people whose land is west of Hargeisa to Sanaag mountains. These wars took place between Zaylac, Harar, Diredhabe Afar zone and reached south of Lake Tana in Coffa. The last ruler of Zaylac was from that tribe. With regards to Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi , there is more reason to believe he was of Harari/Adari origin than of Somali.

And using the same language as Xaaji to describe British in the most favorable way. What's this obsession with colonial powers? Ma taylaaniga aan midgaha ku sheegay ayaa ka xanaaqday.

Xaaji Xunjuf Posted October 20, 2019 Observer your being a bit selective here sxb. Sure allot of oromo arsi in the east opposed him because of the expansion. But the central oromo shewa backed him some of the oromo wollo backed him. The tigray dislike him because he was an enemy of yohannes and he allowed Eritrea to be part of the Italian empire. Dividing the tigrinya on both sides of the mereb. Somalis never considered themselves part of Ethiopia its just unfortunate the region is part of Ethiopia. So their opinion on menelik is really not relevant. But for most of the habasha and oromo he is considered a hero. I can't think of any other Ethiopian ruler in the past that is more liked by habasha and oromo than menelik . I think haile sellasie is more disliked in both tigray Eritrea and afar and oromo.

Lets be honest, the fact that the former colonisers (Italy) where themselves crying victims of the British Administration, that itself might have been a sight for sore eyes. Admit it sxb. I am sure Ex-Italian subjects were singing... Waa lagu digtaa ruux haduu kuu darnaanjiree, bal dayaay Talyaanigii xumaa, Libaaxyaa heelee. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Che -Guevara Posted October 21, 2019 I am happy the fascists were defeated and even I even am happier both colonizers were gone but how they saw each other is least my concern, I am just baffled why mattered to you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
