Im talking about pre colonial era, did somalis ever face a dark age then?
Is this important? We have had many problems since the era of European invade. Forget the luxury of wondering what is unknown, and lets focus on nowdays reality — cause it’s a “Real” dark ages.
Shortly after Adal collapsed probably. We used to live deep in Ethiopia.
somalis had some rise to power in 70s due being strong nation but ever since that it will downhill real quick
somalis used to inhabit shewa and deep in bela mountains
Your in the history section of somalispot if you want to talk about contemporary somalia then I would advice you to look at the somali politics and development section
that happens everywhere look at the greeks for example
yeah but with the greeks the reason is known for their collaspe but somalis its unknown.
The Somali lineage Y18629 is roughly 2600 years old. This will take the ancestor of all the Somali E-V32 men to the year 600BC. This can indeed change if we find older Somali lineages that branches off early from E-Y18629. Now this Samaale awoowe who lived 600BC could have been stationed anywhere in the Horn and not necessarily on the the Somali coast. Punt was recorded as early as the Old Kingdom 2400 BC of Egypt some staggering 4500 thousand years ago. I doubt therefore if the proto Somalis had anything to do with Egypt it would have been further up north on the Sudanese-Eritrean coast. The proto proto Somalis would have been stationed somewhere here as can be seen with the Z813 tree. This Z813 Awoowe who fathered us including the Oromo and other minor individuals such as an Egyptian and a Palestinian which are on the tree further reinforces the idea that Awoowe Z813 was indeed a Puntite based in Lower Nubia (Eastern desert) and had some branches move south towards the horn (Proto Somalis, proto Oromo) while another group got absorbed into the Egyptian Old-Middle kingdom empires thus explaining the Egyptian and Palestinian on it.
that's big cap sxb, i say after the civil war
The civil war is too short to be a dark age. Plus i am talking pre colonial.
Imam ahmed was a great uniter? Did he ever speak against qabil as his main focus was a religious conquest.
He would involve himself with the Somali people to dissolve tribal disputes as he himself was one.
