These Madows completely eliminated the southern cushites from tanzania and mozambique. If something isn't done the same will happen in somalia

"South Cushitic is a subbranch of the
Cushitic branch of the
Afro-Asiatic language family, historically spoken by peoples living south of the
Horn of Africa (where most Cushitic speakers are situated), these
Cushites seemingly made it as far as Southern Africa as early as 2,000 years ago or more [1], having reached areas like Kenya and Tazania much earlier.
Mainland Southeast Africa
Some sources claim they were in some areas South of the horn as early as the 1st to 3rd millennium BCE. [2] At any rate, they ended up having a profound effect on several groups across Southeast and even Southern and Central Africa and the effect they had on several Southeast African groups is ultimately the focus of this post."
"E1b1a/ E-V38 is ultimately a marker most common among/ characteristic of Niger-Congo speakers/ people such as the Bantu while
Haplogroup B can seemingly be rather common among the Nilotic of Southeast Africa.
Nevertheless they've maintained a
E1b1b/ E3b majority (very common all over the Horn and
Northeast Africa) whilst also having
Haplogroup T/ T-M184 carriers among them, a marker found all over the Horn (mostly peaking in Somalis; especially those of
Dir and
Isaaq origins). Now, keep in mind that Haplgroups merely mark migrations for the most part; being 22% E1b1a does not mean they are about 22% Bantu admixed.
A population could carry a marker at a rate of 60% and be, in terms of autosomal DNA/admixture (a real representation of their ancestry), completely distinct from the other populations this Haplogroup occurs amongst, like I demonstrated with Finns with
my last blog post. All things considered, it's clear that the Iraqw and South Cushites like them weren't the only ones spreading ancestry; their Nilotic and Bantu neighbors ultimately had an affect on South Cushites as well.
Observe the West Eurasian (West Asian) admixture in populations such as the
Luhya, Maasai and so on; mostly or entirely owed to South Cushites
In the end, various groups from Rwanda to Kenya to Tanzania to Mozambique have clearly been touched by ancient (and also perhaps not necessarily
ancient) South Cushitic speaker expansions across their region; which had not only a cultural impact on some of them but also a genetic one; making some populations such as the Datog by majority "Cushitic" and others such as the Maasai essentially half.
So next time you're in Tanzania or Kenya and you meet a non-Somali or Oromo who looks strikingly like they're from the Horn even though they claim no Somali or Oromo ancestry; you know where that ancestry mostly came from now."
Also, check out the Iraqw in this paper.
