Gannibal's actual place of birth continues to be uncertain, and is subject to speculation by modern historians. Until recent scholarly field work, it was generally assumed that he originated in Ethiopia.
Support for... [the] theory of Ethiopian birth declined after it was exposed as racially based, implying that "hamitic" Ethiopian origins better explained Gannibal's success than "negroid" origins.
The Beninese historian Dieudonné Gnammankou, an expert on Russia, studied Russian, French and African sources and argued that Gannibal was indeed from Logone-Birni and was most likely the son of a chief in the ancient sultanate. In 1995, Gnammankou asserted that the "Logon" Gannibal wrote about was actually Logone, capital of the old Kotoko kingdom of Logone-Birni, now located in northern Cameroon.
Gnammankou's findings were in turn buttressed by the field work of Hugh Barnes. After consulting with the Sultan of Logone-Birni, Barnes found that an inscription on Gannibal's crest, which was hitherto undecipherable, corresponded with the term for "homeland" in the local Kotoko language of central Africa.
@Shimbiris you were right about historians attributing any semblance of civilization in Africa to "Hamites". Apparently, there was a century old dispute about the Gannibal's ancestry because of this:
Turns out he was actually from Cameroon:
Hamites were considered white in some point of the historyCadaans had a proper hard-on when they discovered "Hamites" and "Hamito-Semites" like Somalis, Habeshas and Sudanis Arabs. Anything impressive done by Madows was immediately ascribed onto us to discredit them and paint them as uniformly loincloth wearing savages. Wa dad mucjiso.
Hamites were considered white in some point of the history
kinda weird thou some white that you call them gaal cadaan, came to you and say you are cadaanYup. That's where all this memeing about us being "Caucasoid" comes from.
They considered us a subset of the same race as Europeans and, no surprise, this meant we were the superior and more civilized Africans who brought innovation to the backward negroes.

East Africans from Somalia and Ethiopia have 40 to 80% caucasian DNA. Some groups are higher like the Beja who have 95% caucasian yDNA.
