Lol lemme guess you're from a place far away from Kenya, like myself, but only base this on what you've heard. This is an oft-repeated lie told by the Somali diaspora so they can make themselves feel good.

My uncle has lived there since the 70s. I've been there a couple of times and has been around the Kenyan Somalis during my stay. They definitely did not look like oppressed people.



What makes you think I'm Ogaden?

I'm sure you said so before.

What is your clan?

We need to populate the coastal areas of Kenya and put economic monopoly on the whole east Africa by way of controlling important sea port's of the region.

No I didn’t mean Eastleigh as a neighborhood but as a business center. Eastleigh wasn’t always an economic powerhouse.

Eastliegh is an old Somali settlement that started almost 100 years ago, reer xamar's came recently to the neighborhood.
Somalis have been traders and engaged in business there for a long time, garissa lodge you're talking about is a recently building.

The East Africa Protectorate, Sir Charles Elliot , who became Commissioner of British East Africa between 1900 and 1904, described Somalis thus:
(Somalis) contrive to be at the same time the wildest and most civilised of Africans. In race they are what, for want of a better word, must be described as Hamitic, and, though dark, are sharply distinguished from all negro tribes by their clear-cut and often beautiful...

How do Cagdheers do it :). Besides Ogadeen, which other clans live in North Eastern Province?

Though we are still large, I wish my grandfathers had the foresight to marry 3 or 4 Habashi women at the same time like Ogs. Today, we will be chilling in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia.

This is Bahir Dar:

And this is Amhara woman:

The Degodi and Garre clans reside in North Eastern Province. Mandera being a garre region, Wajir being a degodi region and Garissa being ogaden region.

It's odd that everyone knows that the Ogaden live there, it must be because they worked with Kenyans and were controlling NEP. Garre clan are actually more than Ogaden clan in NEP specifically.

There's a Somali man who went to Ethiopia to visit family. While there he fell for this habesha christian women and decided to marry her and brought her to Canada.
He had kids with her, and unfortunately he died. Although she would say her kids could follow whatever religion they wanted when he was alive, she now raises them to be orthodox christian and takes them to church.

Somalis r the richest ethnic group in east and southern Africa,not including white s.africans,,have the link for that.My point is just be part of that Somali renaissance.

Yeah but the most successful Somalis I know are Reer xamar or half Reer xamar.

Eastleigh was founded in 1921. At this time, it was formally called Nairobi East Township and was mostly populated by Somalis who had moved from the Ngara Plains.
Eastleigh was originally a large Kenyan Asian enclave until independence in 1963. In recent years, the suburb has been dominated and almost exclusively inhabited by Somali immigrants.
Its cosmopolitan ambiance provided the template for its 1990s transition into the single most diverse and energetic commercial hub of its kind across the greater Horn of Africa region.

Poor bantus in Somalia have many children, while educated well off Kenyan bantus have a few children.

Somalis birth rate in NFD is 7.4, that's the highest in the entire world FYI.

And yeah, you shouldn't generalize 50 million people as "educated well off". In each and every region excluding NFD, the birth rate is lower than 5.

Are you suggesting that Somalis in Somalia have a low birth rate? Because Somalia's birth rate is the second highest in the world. Every single Bantu country in Africa has a lower birth rate, yet you think Bantus in Somalia are an exception?

The average gdp per capita of the average bantu kenyan is triple that of Somalis from Somalia.
They're also taught family planning, have much higher literacy rates, and are more educated.
Bantus in Somalia arent taught family planning, aren't educated, and much more poorer than Somalis and Kenyans. Bantus are growing in Somalia no doubt but so are the Somalis, I really don't care of this so called expansion. I didn't say that..

Somali Kenyans culturally and religiously reject family planning. It's part of the culture to have many kids, and that region is still tribal.

You're wrong to assume that because they're both bantu, they'd have same culture.
The Somali bantus are a marginalised, ex-slave community that are muslim while the kenyan bantus are completely different.

I've met many kenyan bantus, they are very reer magaal tbh, I think due to influence by the british. They had HIV epidemic in their regions and made contraceptives and family planning popular.
