Somali contribution to science

[Bahal]

Somalis knew mosquitoes caused malaria well before Europeans. Richard Burton mocked Somalis when they told him that fact.

Hassan al Jaberti and more notably his son

Wikipedia is filled with errors. So are some books. Al-jaberti originated from the Jaberti area around Zeila which at the time was Ethiopian territory.

Abdirahman al-jaberti is also said to have been named after his 7th grandfather, which could be Abdirahman Ismail Al Jaberti or Abdirahman Ogaden al Jaberti or somebody else i dunno. Somebody else can work out the time line

He is revered as one of the most, if not THE most influential Egyptian scholar of modern or even all time. Seriously he was mad influential. Don't have the time to bring up more sources but you can qoute me on it.

Yep.

After my silly posts, I was going to post about that point.

Richard Burton had an air superiority typical of Victorian Brits of the day so he seemed mostly biased to every type of people he met throughout his travels.

With our large diaspora in the west, there's bound to be acclaimed Somali scientists in the coming decades.

You just made me rethink my optimism.

Somalis had important inventions, the FGM surgery which prevents the female from seeking out men while she is a young virgin.
The consumption of khat to cope with their situation.

Let's not push it. We haven't made any contributions to science. We don't even write even to this day. When the west goes through another dark ages, it'll be our chance finally.

Al jaberti was Somali man from Zelia city, I read once funny article where the Palestinian writer made fun of bad Arabic language of Egyptian writers now days. He mentioned that Somali al jaberti 's arabic is way better them. Ethiopia claims every famous Somali leader/writer from ahmed Gurey to Sayyid Muhammad Hassan.

They claimed the Mad Mullah
Why and how would it be plausible to claim a figure of Somali nationalism? It's like the French claiming Winston Churchill. It makes no sense.
Has this actually happened? I've never heard of Ethiopians claiming Somali figures.

You shouldn't call him the Mad Mullah, it's a derogatory term the British gave him.

Read this tweet the Somalis corrected her and she used the Somali region, BTW Mary Harper is not the only one who describes him as anti colonial hero in Ethiopia.
