The Somali ethnicity and language probably emerged in Southern Somalia

on the contrary, you just said, and I qoute "The Degodia are also fairly recent" impliying that ogaden are fairly recent.You're quite the retard, are you not?
Not the biggest but yeah them too
Ajuuran moved there after being pushed out of southern Somalia in the 1700s
They had a presence in Northern Kenya as well before the Oromo invasion. Many groups were forced into alliance with Oromo or fled to Southern Somalia.
You are confusing being recent arrivals to NFD with size in terms of numbers and land. Ogaden have the most land in NFD, more than Garre Ajuraan and Degodia combined, and are the largest single clan. But, they are the most recent arrivals of all four. The Ogaden managed to expand into Garissa and Wajir within the colonial period. Wajir was a Boran settlement as recently as 1915. The Garre have always lived in the area, the Ajuraan arrived about 400 years ago and became shegato of the Boran, the Degodia arrived a little earlier than the Ogaden.
There are Ogaden in their 80s in NFD today who were born in Afdheer or Godey. The Ogaden have very little history in NFD or Jubaland for that matter.
You didn’t mention the marehan

Ajuuraan are originally from the vicinity of Berbera in northern Somalia, they moved to central Somalia in the middle ages and around 1300 they established their kingdom north of Mogadishu. They expanded by conquering the south in the 1400s, suffered a decline in the 1500s and were slowly pushed southwards throughout the 1600s ending up where they now live in the far south by the 1700s.
This is a common tale of Somali clans. Garre are originally from Sarar in the upper Shabelle valley, Marexan are originally from the eastern Hawd where a minority of them still live, etc.

Interesting history. I' admit i was confusing those two things. but i'll just repeat what my aabo told me, that we're originally from buale and have been in nfd for generations. he wasn't specific so it could be 130 years as you said before. which I just relized is 5 generations. If that's true then my bad.
just to be clear it's not my census, but they are probably among the unspecified somali clans, or they came after 1989 I honestly don't know.

How’s that if our ancestors during the Cushitic migration took the Red Sea route? Entering the Somali peninsula from the North.
The forefather of the Marehan is buried in the outskirts of gardho
he said we went from north sudan to eritrea and went south through the awash valley
If Somalis originated from the south why don't we have same facial features as the bantus who lived in a tropical area.
Wallahi you weren't paying attention, re-read Apollo's sources and information carefully
There was probably a back to migration people moved North and then back South.
