@Gabz19988 I think southerners in particularly hawiye/dir stopped marrying Madows in the 60s. My awoowe who is murusade and had 'Madow slaves' to do his farming in afgoye, he never allowed his kids to marry them. He was the SYL generational age. So this stuff is due to northern culture, he must of been recent arrival from galgaduud like HG is today in hamar and the south from 91 and still hold onto their desert cultural values of 'laandheer, laangaab' and all that.
But you are right up untill this SYL thing happened, there was a 'strong' hatred against 'bantu' I think it was from northern culture who started to export their ideas to the south with a touch of colonials trying to create a cushitic vs bantu war like happened in Rwanda with two different groups attacking each other. The goal of colonial is simple, let them destroy each other and then 'settle' the land for europeans. But I am talking about pre colonial, where Madow even around? I think they were because it was a zanzibar territory all the south and they all reported back to the OMANI Commonwealth. Yes they had a commonwealth and number of territories under their possessions which included southern somalia up untill Tanzania.
I suspect when Ajuuran sultanate disappeared in the south in the 17th century. It was then the Omanis pushed in and took over the land possession as arab colonialist and they took many other areas including zanzibar island. So even the omani rule was short lived in the south and that's when the Boqor Osman and all that started to rise up from the deserts of PL and start forming their own sultanates in copy cat tandem to Omani one. He did the exact same thing trying to take possessions beyond Bari/Nugaal to Hobyo.
I thought these Madows have a presence beyond the 'omani' age of 19th century which was roughly around the 1800s year period which was the vaccuum period when the earlier ajuuran empire fell due to hawiye savages from the 1700s year period which is the 18th century. Hawiye destroyed ajuuran govt, does it make u wonder why they destroyed Somali govt. Whenever they destroy something, niin shisheeye imaado like amisom, ethiopia, and in the past OMAN to take over the left over land.
Hawiye is like our 'destruction' toolset for any government in the past and it opens the doors for colonialist to return. They love hawiye and wait for hawiye to destroy anything Somali based like Ajuuran sultantes, the omanis were like thank you HAWIYE as they came in took over possessions of the south.
