Is there a single note worthy thing oromos did prior to their expansion?

Yes, we share lineage with them; hence, it is my duty to have two Oromo wives and two Somali, The offspring will subject both lineages to a reign of brutality, forcefully uniting the Cushitic lands that extend from the horn including Sudan through to Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula, considering that the original Arabs are descendants of Kus/Kush.

The gada system is quite impressive if i'm gonna be honest with you. It helped incorporate non oromo into the oromo society which bolstered their numbers and helped them in their conquest. These who were absorbed into the oromo societal framework would often times strongly identify as oromos instead of their original ethnicity. The gada system was not only meant to govern oromos but also non oromos and slowly turn them into full fledged members of the oromo socity after they've been initiated through guddifachaa.

What lineage do we share with these people?

 
It's crazy that they didn't contribute anything to the horn of Africa in terms of history considering their large population and fertile land. Their most famous person before the modern era was a slave called Malik ambar who ruled some parts of India.

They robbed us of so much land/potential and did nothing with it.

Its like a person stealing your £100,000 watch and then using it as a doorstopper

Had the adal-abbsyinya boundaries stayed the same we could’ve had numerous rich Muslim cities dispersed throughout the country side.

Somalis wouldn’t be known for this camel culture we would’ve expanded on the amhara culture and most likely taken their script.

Highland Somalis where the rich nobility live in their fiefdoms and the costal elite whose job to control the waters.

Food and water would be abundant so qabyaalad wouldnt be common except the dry areas.

Somalis were not suppose to exist past the 15th century. We were suppose to be incorporated into the Oromo confederation under the Gadaa system. Under this system we would retain are ancestral affiliations, While also having access to Oromo manpower. Using our ingenuity, we would have dominated the docile Oromo and become the ruling class, effectively putting us in prime position to rule the entirety of East Africa through conquest.

Alright man you got me, can't say i never tried. Nothing much is known about their history prior to the 16th century. They've never been mentioned in any sort of text as far as academia is concerned.

Malik ambar was actually a maya not an oromo.

Not a single drop of contributions to the Horn. They have no history or culture. They only xooged some langaabs in the modern region of Oromia. The only history they can get is by either mooching off of either Habesha’s or Somalis. Every place they settled in went to shit, no intellectual culture or revolutionary religion and are one of the largest causes of why our region is doing so bad.

Oromos should be banished from the Cushitic label. Somalis, Afars, Hararis, and Beja should be the only ethnicities that can be called Cushitic

Now that i think about it, hararghe was pretty urbanised and had many urban centre's and numerus agricultural rural settlement as archaeological researched have proven. Most of these towns cities and settlement were destroyed during the oromo invasion as it has been recorded in harari and arabic accounts.

This invasion has in effect set back centuries of development and societal advancement in the horn. Many sedentary people went back into pastoralism and long established trade rout were no longer in use. Who know perhaps if instead of invading they traded with the muslim sultanates the horn would've looked completely different.
