Apparently, Abysinia was the first African nation to accept Muslims

[Kurobecky]

ethiopia used to be called abyssinia but it was much smaller than ethiopa today due to the brits rewarding them for their help against somalis. they gave ethiopia a chunk of somali territory when somalia was a UN trusteeship and we were in disarray. they are the white man's poster boy in the horn.

the horn of africa had two major peoples: somalis and habesha people.
somalis are muslim and habesha are christian. somalis have somalia and habesha rule ethiopia. nowadays ethiopia is habesha oromo somali and other ethnicities.

And I’ve yet to met a pro-black ever call the Ethiopians sellout Uncle Toms for it . EVER.

BUUUUT, wasn’t about half of modern day Ethiopia’s land originally Somalia’s ? Ahem, just sayin..........

Somalis were living in most of the territory we still occupy today minus the NFD and parts of Jubaland which were under Borona Oromo before the expansion of Ogadeen and Mareexan in the late 19th century.

During the Axum time period, Somalis did not extend anywhere past the Awash Valley which acted as the border between the Habesha Christians and Waaqist Dir/Hawiyah clans (later muslim ofc) until the collapse of the Adal Sultanate which sought the Somali clans moving outside of the Awash Valley and incoming of settlers from the Afar triangle.

All of Axum's territory was Habesha/Agew.

Ethios when their dna test says they have a great portion of asian dna: f*ck I ain't believing that shit I'm true kuchitik

Ethios when they say somalis are mixed:

Pan-Africanists: Africans have the most diverse phenotypes.
Also Pan-Africanists: SOMALIANZ ARE WITH ARABS CAUSE THEY GOT SMALL NOSES AND SHIT!!!!!

they are imperialistic with the same mentality as colonialists.

 

[The alchemist]

I thought the hooked nose was from the Jews......... Or from those Portuguese and Italians aka the off whites

In this context, it means when they got ancient Yemenite genetic incursion. I know Jews have that stereotype and funnily Italians (don't know how prevalent this meme is though):

Ethiopia literally the Algeria of east africa

The African and Near East Bronze Age ended earlier than the European, so technically, it would be Near Eastern early Iron Age. A study claimed the coalescence time of the earliest single introduction of the South Arabian language to be 2800 years old in modern Eritrea and Northern Ethiopia. Basically, Agaw-like people, language shifting and mixing with Yemenite merchants.

Possible good explanation of how it likely went down (page131):

Doesn't Ethiopia already have a sizeable Muslim population, and is lead by a Muslim Prime Minister?

I always assume that was some Muslim minorities in Ethiopia, from time to time. They seem more connected to Judaism, to me. All the Ethiopians my boyfriend knows in engineering class are Christians. He was didn’t think that they were Muslim. Also every ajnabi associates Ethiopia with Orthodox Christianity( I met one Catholic) and Judaism

They sought refuge in the kingdom of Axum which was mostly northern ethiopia (tigray] and most of eritrea. theres hadeeth abt it and the king became muslim to

@Molotoff

Nope, at least not in Chicago. I admit I’m a bit ignorant about Ethiopians due to personal biases
what biases? Ethiopians are apart of a lot of history.

Dir have never been Waaqist even before Islam. If you study the genealogical history, there is no 'Waaq' in any Dir lineage, nor are there any towns/cities/villages that are predominantly inhabited by Dir that have the name 'Waaq'.

So what is my hypothesis?

I believe that 'Waaq' is purely associated with E-V12 and further subclades such as E-V32 where the concept of 'Waaq' was introduced by migrations into the Horn by these specific lineages. This would also explain why the concept of 'Waaq' is also prominent in Oromo literature.

 

[Naacasfrompunt]

Persecuted Muslims did find refuge in ethiopia a long time ago. I thought that was common knowledge.

Not Ethiopia axum which is modern day ertirea, djibuti, and some parts of somaliland


amharas were in the hills during that time
