I thought all East Africans got along.

tbh, there is no such thing as "east african" in africa. You have to understand Africans in africa have a very different idea of things like race/neighbors. Most of the time, your worst enemy is your neighbor. Things change however when we come to the west. Where imo they indeed kinda get along (i for example specifically looked for an ethiopian barber in my city).
Somalis and Ethipians have been fighting since like forever. some people tend to reduce the whole thing to "somali=Islam, ethipia = Christian" but i think the problem is much older than that. i bet we were fighting before christianity came to ethiopia even. Yes, Ethipians opress Somalis. just search up "somali region in ethiopia".
Thousand years of war and genocide when have we got along?
We conquered and filled the slave markets of Arabia with Ethiopian slaves in the 1500s and we'll do it again.
I don’t really know if there are any Somalis who dislike Ethiopians from a diaspora point of view.
Back home is probable.
As a diaspora: I have been to an Ethiopian restaurant -which I consider that to be my first encounter.
They have nice foods, culture and history.

“ I heard Ethiopians oppress Somalis” well think of it like this, 120 million plus midgets vs 12 million Somalis. Or to be specific and more realistic, 8 million OGADEN somalis vs 120+ raw meat eating ahh mofos.
But don’t be fooled there’s no authentic central power for “Ethiopia” every region has its own parliaments and presidents 1 small argument can result in balkanization.

For the next 3 decades don’t waste your time on learning more about a country called “Ethiopia” bc it probably won’t exist lol and this is well known fact.
It was doomed to fail from the beginning…

Alright, I'll look it up
Somalis fought an anti colonial war during the late 1890s up to 1922 under the Dervish state.
The Europeans were struggling and had no control of somalia beyond the coastal cities until they asked Ethiopia to invade us and so we faced war on all sides and lost.
As thanks for helping the Europeans colonise somalia they British gave a big chunk of somalia nearly the size of Germany to Ethiopia which became known as the Ogaden region. All major somali clans own some land in it.
They brutalalised the Somalis there who tried to resist occupation. Everything from massive camps like "jail ogaden" where they took dissidents away and many people simply 'dissappeared' as the Ethiopian state killed any Somali who tried to fight.
The Ethiopian government also let a colonial type settling of Somali cities to change our demographics, many regions that used to be Somali were handed to our neighbouring tribes oromo and Afar. And this was supported by Addis Ababa as those ethnicities were Ethiopian.
They even made somali cities like dir dhaba so filled with Ethiopians that it became seperate from the Somali region and the Ethiopians renamed it to dire dawa which means nothing in their language.
My mother used to use the Djibouti-Dir dhaba railway to visit family during summer and everyone there spoke somali when she was younger. Now due to mass settler population the main language is slowly changing to amharic or oromo.
Fast forward to 1977 and the Somali dictator, who was born in ogaden btw, tried to invade and won at first however the soviets and communist bloc supported Ethiopia with everything from weapons to millitary advisors and even soldiers on the ground. Somalia was alone and tried to get US support to no avail and eventually lost. Led to a big downward spiral leafing to the collapse of government in 1991 and somalia being a civil war shithole.

What’s the future of AA community? I’m pretty sure every other African asked themselves this same question once.
You guys wanna create your own country either in the US or Africa or just mix with whites and continue life from there.
segregation = competition and that’s really bad.
Sorry if this offends you I’m just really curious.
