    Africa been colonized longer

    Thanks for that, and its Somali not somalian.

    Africa been colonized longer

    You're not Somali and stop spreading false information such as this. Some clans claim lineage to Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) as a way to show they have divine favour and should be followed by other clans. Everything else you wrote is a crock of bullshit. The non-Somali origin clans have had zero power.

    AHC: Somali as Lingua Franca

    Four PODs that could work 1. Amda Seyon being defeated at the Battle of Das. This keeps the highlands divided and the Sultanate of Ifat stays strong and uses its wealth to promptly unify the lowlands against the divided highlands to ensure another Amda Seyon figure does not rise again. 2...

    Ethiopian-Somalia Union 1977

    I spelt it wrong:coldsweat: It was actually Kulub and the best link I can gather at the moment is this https://books.google.ca/books?id=zsjuQaGLRUkC&pg=PA227&dq=kulub+harar&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiKpKH46vnPAhUJLyYKHajnCPsQ6AEIJDAB#v=onepage&q=kulub harar&f=false The SYL opened up an office in...

    Ethiopian-Somalia Union 1977

    There was already a border war between Somalia and Ethiopia in 1964. The amount of bad blood between both nations will never see a union happen unless you have a highly naive person leading Ethiopia who wouldn't see the union for the trap it would be. Or a separatist movement gaining control of...

    I thought the SYL was accommodating of the Sab tribes and they had good representation that they never had after the coup.

    I never mentioned the issue of double vowels before hence why.

    People vote Osmanya it solves the issue of double vowels quite nicely that latin scripts can't.

    WI - Ethiopia wins the Abyssinian–Adal war

    The Oromo migrations were heading to South Somalia but the Ajuran Sultanate forced them to reverse their migrations North to the Hararghe area. The Ajuran also warred with the Portugese as well so a earlier Portugese intervention might have the side-effect of allying the Adal-Ajuran kingdoms.

    Everyone vote for the Osmanya alphabet, it was the most popular script at the time.

    How can Italy defeat and conquer Ethiopia?

    Yeah but they left the Sultanates alone until the Mad Mullah was dead and even once they managed to take the Sultanate of Hobyo, a rebellion occured and they nearly lost it until the Italians figured out clan rivalries and started exploiting it. The Italians signed protectorate agreements with...

    How can Italy defeat and conquer Ethiopia?

    Italy attempting to directly rule over its Somali lands that early would spook the Hobyo and Majeerteen Sultanates it had treaties with and may cause them to ally with the Dervish movement which would be a disater for Italy.

    Barre Hiiraale's alternate brother as president? The man himself was a unionist through and through. Nice Fox princess reference, my favourite folklore story had to be Dhegdheer. I was not aware of the coffee tradition but a lot has changed such as many of my relatives lamenting the harsh...

    I was referencing Carter not throwing his weight behind Somalia in the Ogaden war the way the Soviets did when both sides switched who they were supporting.

    If its Jimmy Carter in power then Somalia might be able to pull it off without any significant trouble.

    Oh thats going to be awesome to read. Would Kediye try and fund other Kenyan separatists as well or would the state be stretched too thin by that.

    The Ogaden war is on track but what about Kenya?

    Sounds tricky since his rule could be associated with Italian domination if his wife is Italian and he's overthrowing a government democratically chosen by the people.

    That would be very helpful! I like to think he was the Saint of beating up Ethiopians considering much of the damage caused lasted well into the 20th century. Plus making a people starting eating raw meat as a national dish? The sheer trauma he inflicted I hear still makes him a scary story...

    This looks like its going to be so exciting. Someone writing a possible Greater Somalia/Somali Wank TL rather than endless WIs about the Ogaden war. I had some ideas about a POD centered on Imam Ahmed's Conquest of Abbysina succeeding but I'm still gathering sources on it.
