its best to work with what we got the era of assimilation of different ethnic groups in Africa is pretty much over tbh
Ahmed Gurey tried, but it didn’t work. Generally we weren’t centralised enough to act on these sorts of things any expansion/assimilation was clan based.
It won’t work now too, Afar are divided by 3 countries, but I’ve always been a big advocate of Somali centralisation some time in the future and making deals with the Afar/Oromo/Saho. They’re our buffer against expansionism
Most Somalis especially those from Somalia aren’t that familiar with afars the only Somalis I think that neighbour afars are @Khaem people and @Step a side people both in sitti regionPeace between Afars and Somalis is vital for both. Both share one faith, both share culture and history.
this is the picture of Eritrean Navy General Hummad Karikare meeting Somali President Hassan Sheikh during Hassan sheiks trip to Eritrea in 2022.
both were brothers
when Hummad passed a way this year, many Somalis even here on SSpot send showed

Text on how Sultan Badlay ''' Camped a thousand Muslim families there'' in one of the southwestern territories.
This is just a detailed example a century before Futuh , you see similar things play out all over Futuh resettling nomadic and agro-pastoral families into conquered territories and appointing them as governor garrisons.
Why would ciise want to occupy a land that literally has nothing on it.

Ciise were moving into fertile Hararghe during the Adal empire instead.
Afars live in a harsh environment, that's why they constantly try to occupy Somali regions such as Sitti which is very good for livestock etc.

They get smoked every time its not even something worth focusing on. if the afars cant beat one subclan what do you think will happen if they face a entire clan or more.It is more political. The Ethiopian government has been pushing them and arming them, they want Ethiopians in control of the major roads/route to Djibouti and want it distanced from Somalis. They do not trust Somalis and know we will eventually break away and want to secure it for Ethiopia.
So it is the federal government that arms and support them to try to annex land from Somalis, whenever Somalis fight back and take their land back the ethiopian government and its military pushes the Somalis back and asks for peace, then they push the Afar to displace the Somalis again, it is a cycle. Afars alone cant do anything.
Here is a recent short documentary from the Sitti region:
