i know somalis are the most ungrateful bunch on the planet but we should be grateful for Borana. this tribe single handily guard our southern flank. in the 16th century, this tribe destroyed the Bantu driving to the Tana river, the Mushinguli forest and highland of Kenya. NFD is "Cushitic" because of them and the Warday. they also prevented migration of the Nilotic tribes into southern Ethiopia and Somalia fight several war with them throughout the 17th century. they drove the ancestors of the Masai, Sumburu, Pokomo, Turkana, Kalenjin away from our land into the rift valley and highland of Kenya. they stops Somali migration across the jubba river for 100 years. do you know what they called the ogaden when they first met them, Aji. it possible that some of the Borana were part of the Ajuraan confederation because they kept up many complex water management and water laws. only after disease, plague and famine had laid them low did the somalis conquer the jubba river in the 1850.
so give acknowledgment where it do, the oromo prepared Jubba and Tana basin for the somalis. we are dominant people today because of them.
