In order to have any level of technological sophistication, you must have a surplus to support specialization. In order to have a surplus you must have agriculture. Ethnic somalis were pastoralists thus no surplus to support technological advancement. Complex politics emerge from the need for a system of managing said surplus, if you have no surplus you have no Athenian democracy or philosophy. Civilization cannot emerge from a pastoral culture nor from a hunter/gatherer culture, it is not even assured when you have agriculture.

We should all be asking those people forgiveness and give them their rights. So long these injustices prevail in our lands we will never prosper.
How is not marrying into a low-class clan not giving them their rights? There is nothing wrong with that and nothing to ask forgiveness for.

Arab lands are all desert bro. They have no fertile lands. 1000 years ago, they ruled Spain whilst Europe was in its dark age. Bedouins with no knowledge, no land, or anything were a world power. Pretty much disproves of your theory.

Being a world power in that age just meant you had greater cohesiveness than the bordering groups or what Ibn Khaldun called "Casabiyah" The Arabs first conquer the Middle East, then the Turks then the Mongols each group better organized than the one before it.

You see, pastoral people like the Arabs or Somalis, Mongols etc were in the past able to form confederacies and conquer settled socities. We Somalis almost succeeded in this were it not for the portuguese siding with the Habesha. This does not mean that these groups were more advanced than those they conqured. The Arabs, like the Mongols in China, were a militarily dominant minority able to extract surplus. They never created a surplus themselves but took it from others.

They were very advanced civilizations where science had flourished in. The Chinese were militarily competent and were the ones who invented gun powder. Does that not count as technological sophistication? Please, don't paddle typical white supremacist theories.
 
Yet you probably equate Somalia as backward country because they dress like Muslims, or in your view, wear tents. I mean wow!
Wait, do you realise that you're the one who has painted this picture of Somalis wearing tents, that the very same statement that made you go 'wow' is, in fact, yours? I don't know whether it's pathetic or insane that you are astonished by your own insults!

Yeah, go back to internet memes like a little boy because you stopped making sense a while ago. By the way, creating your own statement and then rebutting it is a logical fallacy that has its own name. But then what would you know about logic?

Nothing

Other than the fact I'm studying a STEM subject in a top 10 university :D

And now this is an appeal to authority to get out of the said logical fallacy you had just committed.

But whatever helps you sleep at night, mate!

There's far worse atrocities happening. I wasn't really talking about marriage. Why reject someone who is a Muslim/Somali for his/her tribe? This type of racism is forbidden in Islam so why are people doing this? Makes you wonder, do people worship Allah or their qabil.

You were brought up in the West where it's the norm to have children out of wedlock. So I forgive you for your ignorance but there is nothing racist about rejecting someone from a bad tribe for your daughter who is of good lineage since they won't be compatible.
