You might have traded with Aden and Al-Mokha but you weren't the principal people moving there nor were you the principal traders.NE Somalia could never dominate since they don't have much to offer.Saylac,Bulhar and Berbera had all of SL,K5 and Oromia/Shewa trading with us and would export slaves,coffee,livestock and even ostrich feathers lol

Saaxiib, do me a solid and don't personalize this stuff. I really don't see this as us or you. I'm not interested in some low IQ FKD bullshit here. I even have Isaaq ancestry myself, Somalinimo aside. And I didn't say that Hartis dominated the trade overall. I even openly acknowledged that Berbera was the premier northern port. I just pointed out that Hartis clearly dominated the seafaring trade from the Somali coast. That is to say in terms of having their own ships and going to Aden and Mocha whereas most of that traffic from the northwest seems to have been either taken by Hartis or Indians and Arabs and not Isaaqs themselves to Aden. I shared a source from a guy who clearly lived among Isaaqs for a decade and pointed this out himself as having been the state of affairs for some decades in the 1800s which pokes holes in the idea of Isaaqs being the vast majority of Somalis in Aden at least in the 1800s if they weren't even the ones mainly sailing there from the Somali coast.

Stop being childish, triggered and posturing, saaxiib. We're all Somalis here. I'd stand up for your qabiil if I saw anyone insulting them anywhere.

If Isaaqs in the late 1800s had more diasporic presence in Aden it had more to do with proximity and their numbers only grew with the British involvement and occupation of Aden. And the increased capitalistic trade demands by the British connecting the two places. I mean the texts you have shown pretty much explains that.

It doesn't speak to a general historical trend of movement of people.
