Give me a time machine

[Pearl of the Indian Ocean]

If only I could go back in time and conquer all this land completely abandon qabil and create this glorious ethnostate; 200 years later Somalis at a population of 300-500 million

Hell I'd even create a new writing system for Somali while I'm at it

Don't forget Socotra island please

You can potentially get this setup by the EAC federalizing. Free movement of people and goods, you will have access to work and live in Congo in this future East Africa. You just got to drop the ethnostate.

Also why is this map somewhat respecting the boundaries of Ethiopian ethnic groups but not Tanzanians- what'd they do? Plotting on the wrong people.


Madagascar too??

I wanted to make Galbeed much larger but it didn't give me that option

How did we let Malaysians from a completely separate continent take control and own Madagascar as for Tanzanians it's nothing personal but they gotta take one for the team

Should have coloured the southern part of afar region for dominance over the awash river and should have made it more chunkier in the north cause thats where civilisations are the south except for the coast is desolate jungles like germania in roman times constant battling with flexible bantus, the north is where its at cause there are nerworks of cities to take one by one.

Literally the best land in Africa? Stop it with the desert fixation

look at all the mosquitos. I think we’re better off without lake Victoria.

Anti-Malarial drugs exist, mosquito traps exist, nets exist. Or maybe you are worried that you will start craving mosquito patties?

Why do you think those regions werent part of the known world? Its a desolate jungle and it would be logistical hell imagine having to fend off bantus that have no networks of cities to take we would be in constant defence and if we push back we would just get control of like one hut its better to expand north where there is cities and resources.

it is not.

no reason to believe this at all, they are weak and have no fighting spirit. tutsis were always doing just fine there until the belgians arrived and fucked with the heirarchy. strip any legal bounds from them and they're done, stop being a fulay

we were making moves into the great lakes and that too was disturbed by the europeans. kenya and the great lakes are the promised land and we shall flourish there by ourselves.

its better to expand north where there is cities and resources.

Not worth the hassle man also diseases are strife and its hard to construct cities in the dense jungles. Tana river and kenyan/tanzanian coast is enough.

we were making moves into the great lakes and that too was disturbed by the europeans. kenya and the great lakes are the promised land and we shall flourish there by ourselves.

Should have migrated up or atleast along the coast and reach the tana river

"let's just be gypsies bro"

Who said we are migrating peacefully? we are xooging everysingle one of them up north and somalifying them by the sword.

A lot of those areas would be either difficult to expand into due to geographical barriers or pointless because they had less economic value.

Neither Yemeni, Omani Arabs, or Somalis tried to take control of the islands of Socotra, the land is pretty useless from a historical point of view, for farmland or grazing other than fishing. There was also no precious metals or stones to be found like Sofala.

Madagascar was seen as unattractive place it was to distant and isolated from the major trade routes that connected the rest of the East Africa to Arabia. It also lacked immediate resource wealth.

When they expanded to areas of southern portion of East Africa like the Swahili coast what prevented them from expanding into the interior was the geography of thick forests, mountains, rift valley and tetsy fly etc . If you notice Islam is concentrated on the coast unlike the interior the way it's spread out amongst Somalis, geography has to facilitate conquest and expansion.

Soqotri people are not Mehris or Mahra. They are seperate grouping that settled there thousands of years ago. After then no ones else tried to take control of Soqotro or inhabit it in large numbers.

It's only in our modern time it has value as a politically strategic point and for tourism due to the nice, sunny beaches and unique fauna etc.

Aside from thick jungle forests It also has tetsy fly, like it's really a bad drawback. Not only is it bad for draft animals(work animals) like cows/cattles, donkeys, camels or horses, but also agriculture as a result.

The tsetse-vectored trypanosomiases affect various vertebrate species including humans, antelopes, bovine cattle, camels, horses, sheep, goats, and pigs.

I mean why would Somalis expand into into the fertile plains of Awash, the shabelle zones, mountains/highlands and Juba-tana. But not go further south ? The answer is pretty obvious when you look at this.

The people on the Island are not Mahra and various groups and the colonials fought over control of it in the late 19th century for strategic importance.
