If you paid more attention, you'd know I often withdraw from debates when they go to sh*t (for a recent example, see the thread on Somali origins). That's not defeat, that's guarding my time and knowing that SOL "historians" operate with different conventions and standards of historicity, factuality and reason that would be laughed out of the academy.

I'm pretty sure the all of this thread's participants are one or two generations removed from Somalia making that case unlikely. Why are some of you confusing the likelihood of the slave trade having some adverse effect on Somalis, with mass enslavement? Because SOLers enter threads like this and start typing: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it logical to assume some Somalis fell into the hands of slave traders, yes it is possible (hardly something worthy of analysis as the numbers were too few to "matter"; a pedantic exercise really) but were Somalis enslaved as was the case with West Africans, i.e was there systematic slave trade of Somalis selling other Somalis, the answer is a simple nein. There's no evidence to support this. And this attempt of "Habashising" Somalis, to prove your baseless assertion, like the Dodo, won't fly because, as Chimera finds, Somalis were clearly distinct ethnic group from the Habashi highlanders. Semantics dear, semantics. You get an F. Yours, An IR grad Yet another example of not reading the thread before contributing to the discussion: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Safferz Posted May 4, 2013 lool great scene and great show I was just saying if you had read the thread, you would know that I never said anything remotely close to "Somalis were enslaved" (as a group, and in the numbers characteristic of large scale slaving) and neither did I argue for the "Habashizing" of Somalis. If anything, the "Habashizing" of Somali history is precisely what I am resisting because it's something I've repeatedly encountered (like the claim that "Ethiopians" had a maritime trade). Anyway I checked out of this thread a long time ago, hence all the gifs and BS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
