Don't hate, congratulate.
Yeah you're right, you have nothing to do with a group that you've bordered for centuries, fought, married with, assimilated in some cases, look like, etc.
Besides those things, you're right bro.

Quit being a beg. We don’t.

Quit being a beg. We don’t.

No need to ''be a beg,'' when what I said it based on facts, while your statements are based on emotions, hatred, anger, etc. Facts beat emotions all day son.

''As a sign of good faith to Siad Barre, Mengistu Haile-Mariam moved against the SSDF, closing its Ethiopian bases and confiscating many of its heavy weapons. Rather than wait for a similar fate, the SNM entered Somalia in force. In open combat, it defeated Somali army forces, capturing large portions of Hargeisa. Barre moved additional forces north, but again the army was unable to beat the SNM forces. The army then turned its weapons on the Isaaq populace and on the Darood refugees, killing an estimated 50,000 civilians; an additional 350,000 refugees streamed across the Ethiopian border.''

Federick A. Stokes states:
''Originally no doubt Abyssinia was peopled by the same dwarf Bushman race as that which formed the lowest stratum of all the African populations. Then a portion of the country came into the possession of the 'big black negroes' who still inhabit its western flanks. These again are super-ceded and partially absorbed by the superior race of Hamites, the ancestors of the Oromo, Somali, and Ancient Egyptians. This Hamite race of Caucasian stock with some negroid intermixture forms the basis of the Abyssinian population of the present day.''
