He also wrote that Hawiye was a lost Tigre tribe. WTF there is literally no proof or indication of that. He also claimed Af maay was a bantu language that's just horshitt. Its a dialect and Cushitic language and Raxanweyn got pissed at him. No expert agrees with him but he has the backing of white liberals and self loathing Somalis.
The guys whole work is aimed at creating insecurity around identity and trying to make Somalis unsure of their claim to their own land.
He wont accept that bantus suffered the least in the civil war & participated and Reer Xamar/Barwani were the ones that actual suffered. He wont accept that Bantus are not native to Somalia. He always complains about exclusion like they are entitled to Somali Identity.
Somalis have no identity kulaha?
if we have no no identity then how can we exclude you from the identity that does not exist?
If we think we are Arab , then why are we called Somali and why is our identity,culture,language separate from them? How convenient for a people who allegedly think they Arab we sure make it obvious that we are not.
Racist to say that Somalis think they arab, just because we are muslim and different from other Africans doesn't make us one in the least.
It's a claim they fall back on when they have no arguments, if Somalis think they are ''Somali'' and not ''Black''. They are automatically Arab. What this does is make ''Somali'' redundant meaningless name and puts the western/American exonym ''Black'' and Arab above Somali . Arab and Somali are mutually exclusive. You cannot be Somali and an Arab at the same time. That's an oxymoron.
The claim is just a continuum of the racist Eurocentric notion of a monolithic Africa..
The only thing he has is rhetoric nothing he says actual exist in reality.
The thing is with propaganda its not that you have to be right and have evidence backing your claims its just that you have to repeat it over and over again. I fear for our youth in North America they are clapping for a dude who want to genocide them and remove them from history and land.
When I see the confused Somali youth in north America I feel like pulling out the definition for ''Useful Idiots''.
A
useful idiot is someone who supports one side of an
ideological debate,
but who is manipulated and held in contempt by the leaders of their faction or is unaware of the ultimate agenda driving the ideology to which they subscribe.
