R/africa discussing if Somalis believe their arabs or not

[gasara]

stop the cap. diaspora maybe but majority of people north of gaalkacyo truly believe their forefathers were arabs and consider themselves as arabs.

Why are you telling me to stop the cap on an experience that I’ve been through They would never call themselves descendant from Arabs as these people have too much pride. Idk what North of Gaalkacyo means. What places are there.

I’m Somali. There’s too many cities how should I know. I don’t even know the cities here in Canada I only remember visually. It’s in Galmudug I know that place.

Lowkey I’ve only heard of this conversation online never irl in the diaspora or back home.

You’re right, nobody seems to believe this irl, I’ve only ever heard of this online from people back home.

Look what I just seen on twitter

wasn’t this waaq thing debunked?? I swear pan Africanists would cut their own legs and kidneys off and sell it just to portray Somalis out of the fold of Islam

Wdym debunked? You can still see little bits of the religion in our country today. In our language and even towns.

Wouldn't be shocked if it was from that Island. I'd be more shocked if it was an American Somali or Canadian saying it.

Somalis dont know tht when these people classify u as arab they mean ur not African. They want an excuse to say tht our land is not ours but really belongs to them. It doesnt help tht we have some.self haters who think being arab makes them close to the prophets so they say they are and they look down on these people(bantus and others) but while theyre doing tht they dont know tht some of these people think we are foreign to our own land. Which knowing whts happening with palestine and israel. It should not be a welcomed thought
