Somalis should have conquered it while it was uninhabited before those Indonesians got there.

Somaloid languages are 3,000 years old. Somali is a direct descendant of those groups. So, yes, proto-Somalis existed long before Madagascar was settled.

Socotra and Seychelles are another embarrassment only 250km and 1000km off the coast of Somalia and ancient Somalis failed to settle it.

Socotra wasn't claim by yemen before civil, i am tired of somalis perpetuating this myth. the island was conquered by the king of Al-Mahrah 1630s before these arabs arrive in Socotra the local population were Nestorian Christians and even though Socotra was center of trade for greek, indians, yemenis, this island has been apart of Hawdramaut/yemen since 800 B.C.

I've seen nuff people repeat this. Some Somalis were pastoralists while some were urban folks. Who do you think lived in the many ancient Somali coastal towns?

All the ancient city states described by the Romans, Greeks, Chinese, and Arabs as Barbaroi/Po Pa Li are now attributed to some race that conveniently disappeared off the face of the earth.
