So it's nothing to do with reer samaale. Which isn't surprising. Not a single tuulo in reer samaale lands was built by stoneHarla’s built it. Samaroon arrived in the area sometime between the 1500 & 1600’s.

You still haven't proven it, I'm talking about a specific town not the whole region, simply prove that Reer Samaale's built that town when it existed, can't be that hard .Are you tapped bro? This is from Abasa awdal. This is clearly Dir Somali. Sub clan is either Ciise or Samaroon. I'm literally an Ciise from right across the border I should know my area broski. What evidence do you need? Literally search up the demographics of awdal region.
Do I have a census report on some tiny town in awdal region? It's dir somali, Samaroon in this case. It's literally the only people who live in the region Walahi you're teaching. Just leave the culture and history section.You still haven't proven it, I'm talking about a specific town not the whole region, simply prove that Reer Samaale's built that town when it existed, can't be that hard .
The Jibriil Yoonis have lived there for centuries, and most of these towns are in ruins due to a decline in trade, I'll be near there visiting family in 2025 so will make sure to grab pictures.You showed a town in ruins, prove that ciise and samaroon both lived in that town when it existed
What evidence do you have? I have heard other sources state that the Gurgura built it, until we do more archaeological digs and DNA analysis we're just guessing.So it's nothing to do with reer samaale. Which isn't surprising. Not a single tuulo in reer samaale lands was built by stone
He’s engaging in bad faith arguments. Why must we do research for him and provide “proofs” for him in an area which he has no idea about and has already has formed a biased opinion about? No amount proof will convince him because of his Arab trolling supremacist tendencies.What evidence do you have?

What you're suggesting is that the Dir, Isaaq and various other Somali clans just took over all Harla's land within a century.
Nope I didn't even suggest that , I want sources to indicate that reer Samaale's resided in the town at one point of it's existenceWhat evidence do you have? I have heard other sources state that the Gurgura built it, until we do more archaeological digs and DNA analysis we're just guessing.

Ain't that hard to admit that there's no proof available, just admit it and keep it stepping.He’s engaging in bad faith arguments.

Your first claim was that there was no houses built of stone made by “Samales”. Your theory has clearly been proven false by archaeologists findings of those ruins.Ain't that hard to admit that there's no proof available, just admit it and keep it stepping.
Look on the bright side atleast there's hundreds of mundul tuulos to unuka leh without doubting
Wallahi you're a funny guy. When it was said that this town was built by Somalis, you refused to accept it without "proof", despite this town being deep in Somali lands with no ajnabi presence anywhere in the vicinity of this site for hundreds of kilometers.So it's nothing to do with reer samaale. Which isn't surprising. Not a single tuulo in reer samaale lands was built by stone
Lewis is right when he states that Mogadishu was founded and established by Arab traders. The first tribes of Mogadishu were the Banu Qahtaan. Overwhelming evidence, such as manuscripts, ruined neighborhoods, structures, and archeological evidence of grave sites with foreign names, demonstrates that Mogadishu was founded by Arabs.I had to make a thread on this since all I wrote won't allow me to post on messages to @Daydreamer.
If you want to learn about the Adal empire and the period in the horn around the early half of the 1500s. Read Futuh Al habash. It's a first hand account of Ahmad Gureys conquest of Ethiopia.
A majority of Somali history is found in Arabic texts so find your way into Somali history spaces like the "Culture & history" sub forum and on twitter where people translate these sources.
There are also two books made by British authors,
"Somali" by IM Lewis & "Warriors: Life and Death among the Somalis" by Gerald Hanley.
These two books have lots of important information but you have to also Understand these two people are English orientalists.
They try reduce alot of Somali history and especially IM Lewis who was denied access to manuscripts held by somali families because they didn't trust a Gaal, so he just chalked everything up to Arabs.
The reason you search up who built Mogadishu and it says Arab traders is because of figures like IM Lewis writing that down as cope. Nonetheless, you can still read them for good insight in certain topics.
I have so many different sources and will start making many threads on the culture and history section with links & such to help others dive into somali history inshallah.
Legend, I dont enjoy reading but will read thisHere's Futuh Al Habash in PDF if y’all interested
Reer Ciise and Samaroon entered the Awdal region after the fall of the Adal Sultanate. Nomadic societies do not have a settled population. They are constantly on the move. Fortified walls were constructed in Zeila by Arab rulers to avert nomadic incursions.What clan lives in awdal? Ciise and Samaroon.
You have to understand that nomadic societies do not have a settled population or permanent settlements. They are constantly on the move in search of water and pasture. Nomadic societies generally do not build or contribute to civilizations. They consume and take. It's wrong to falsely attribute historical Muslim kingdoms such as Adal, Ifat, and Mogadishu to Somalis. It's also intellectually dishonest to say that Somalis founded coastal settlements such as Mogadishu and Zeila.According to some niggas on this site Somalis didn't build anything in the south, Somalis didn't build anything in the north, and Somalis didn't build anything in galbeed. Every single stone settlement in Somaliweyn was built by ajaanib somehow. At some point the Somalis came down from the heavens and took control of all these towns while the ajaanib who built them sunk down into the earth.
Harla is not a Somali clan. They are ethno-semeties. You guys are hilarious. The Arabic-speaking nomadic tribe of Beja (Balaw) are Somalis. Harla are Somalis. What's next? Yemenis are Somalis. Everyone is Somali. If Ciise and Samaroon historically inhabited Zeila and Awdal, can you name a single Somali leader prior to the 19th century? It's not rocket science.Wallahi you're a funny guy. When it was said that this town was built by Somalis, you refused to accept it without "proof", despite this town being deep in Somali lands with no ajnabi presence anywhere in the vicinity of this site for hundreds of kilometers.
Yet when it was said that this town was built by the Xarla (who are a Somali clan anyhow), despite there being no evidence whatsoever that they inhabited this site at any time period, you accept this without questioning.
Archaeologist said that the graves in Amud are Somali stop lyingHarla is not a Somali clan. They are ethno-semeties. You guys are hilarious. The Arabic-speaking nomadic tribe of Beja (Balaw) are Somalis. Harla are Somalis. What's next? Yemenis are Somalis. Everyone is Somali.

Here we go again...You have to understand that nomadic societies do not have a settled population or permanent settlements. They are constantly on the move in search of water and pasture. Nomadic societies generally do not build or contribute to civilizations. They consume and take. It's wrong to falsely attribute historical Muslim kingdoms such as Adal, Ifat, and Mogadishu to Somalis. It's also intellectually dishonest to say that Somalis founded coastal settlements such as Mogadishu and Zeila.
Sub archaeologists already confirmed that Amud had Somali Graves and was SomaliHere we go again...
1) Not all Somalis were nomads
2) There is no proof of any non-Somali group living in the vicinity of Abaaso. If you want to say that the people who built Abaaso were different than the people currently living there, the burden of proof is on you.
3) Plenty of nomadic societies have settled populations and contributed to civilization such as the Arabs, Turks, Mongols, etc. In fact, I do not think there is any large ethnic group that has a completely nomadic population and no cities or towns of there own.
Amud is Somali you can cry about it but It won’t change factsNo reer samaale was building from stone in baadiya, you can't show any reer samaale tuulo built from scratch with stone
Harla’s didn’t build it stop lyingHarla’s built it. Samaroon arrived in the area sometime between the 1500 & 1600’s.
