true, but the boran there were isolated from other major clans, and darood were forced to expand south, because the other major oromo clans stopped their eastern expansion. our expansions effected each other.
u also proved me right; it wasn't an oromo vs somali war, it was one clan vs another clan, and so on, and so forth. there's a big difference between oromo and somali fighting each other, organized as nations, with professional armies, AND a few clans fighting each other for land/water.
borana were far away from the other major clans, and far away from their own traditional homelands.
essentially, the borana were bosses of huge lands from ethiopia to modern day kenya to southern somalia, and lost some of that land/power, to expanding somali nomads. essentially, they had a borana empire. and we all know that empires eventually collapse.
before that, the darood and others, were clients, under borana power and rule.
once darood got stronger in numbers, they decided to overthrow their masters.
i ain't mad at em', when you're a nomad, without water/land, you perish with your animals.
but do not exaggerate and act like oromo fought somali as nations. that's far from being true, sir.
