Interesting, how much of somali do you think is pure somali/cushitic?

I would say a good 85-90% of Somali is of pure Somali-Cushitic origin. The rest is comprised of mostly Arabic loanwords, with a few English/Italian/French/Indian loanwords sprinkled in.

oh true

Yes, I've done some deep studying and comparing. And no borrowing took place between Rendille and Somali.

So is that just an indication of how ancient these languages are?

I see, how many of these loanwords have somali equivalents? (Ignoring islamic terminology)

First we do the usual suspects; Kenya, Ethiopia. We use biochemical weapons to clean out the population while maintaining the land for our semi-cushitic brethren, on the terms that we get the Somali parts of Kenya and Ethiopia. We then urge the Rendille to spread throughout the rest of Africa and take over, paving the way for us to establish our superiority later on

I'd like to tweak your plan just a little as it is almost perfect on its own. may I suggest the collection of the women folk in Ethiopia(only the best looking ones and the tallest ones only) to rebreed that rendille homies.
