Did you know Halaba now cushitic was once a semitic group
Their dance is the same as Welene's
Re: Did you know Halaba now cushitic was once a semitic group
In Inor and geto they call them አላባ-ቁሊቶ::
Their dance looks close to gurage. It is a zone by itself I guess not hadiya or kembata?
Ethnofacisim in Ethiopia.
Down with TPLF/OPDO/PP/OLF. When the country was one nation no body cared who lived where snd who is who!

Re: Did you know Halaba now cushitic was once a semitic group
DNA Scientists clustered Halaba and Gurage as one
Also the list shows Mao people who live in Benishangul/Welega border as similar to Amhara
who are the Mao people of Welega?
Now It seems like the Oromo of Western Welega/Kelem Welega Zone are actually Mao Gudifechas(Adoptees) and not Gafats

Re: Did you know Halaba now cushitic was once a semitic group
My guess is that Kaffa are actually Gaffats. I say this because when the Damot kingdom was taken over by Amde Tsiyon, the last king of Damot, Motalemie (Mate Alem) fled to Kaffa and died there. He is believed to have said, 'now I will go to my people and die there'. I know kaffa are solid orthodox but don't the roots of their language Kaficho's relation to Semitic languages of Ethiopia.Noble Amhara wrote: ↑18 Jul 2024, 00:39DNA Scientists clustered Halaba and Gurage as one

You Gurage/Silti are also related to Hadiya.... In my opinion Hadiya language sounds like Orominya and Gurage language sounds like Agawinya

Re: Did you know Halaba now cushitic was once a semitic group
The people that have relation with Hadiya are Mareko. This is well known history. On the Sebat bet side, the Muslim leader Hassan Anjamo is Hadiyan and played significant role in the Islamaization of Sebat bet. But, there little cultural and liguistic influence from Hadiya. Even to this day there bordder issues with Hadiya in West Gurage.

Re: Did you know Halaba now cushitic was once a semitic group
Their folklore states that they migrated from Hadiya in 1600s during the time Gurage was repelling Oromo incursion into it. Out of sight of Gurage focus, with very little resistance or absence thereof, they settled on the north of Gurage, about 10 km away from Welkite, making less than 1% of Gurage population. Culturally, Kebena is as Gurage as Welene is. And lots of Gurage words in Kebena language.Noble Amhara wrote: ↑18 Jul 2024, 01:35aren't Kabena who live near Welkite apart of the hadiya ethnic group?Horus wrote: ↑18 Jul 2024, 01:31The people that have relation with Hadiya are Mareko.

But, there little cultural and liguistic influence from Hadiya. Even to this day there bordder issues with Hadiya in West Gurage.
Imam Hassan Injamo of Kebena, who together with Imam Baqsa of 7bet said to be senior partner, led the more ferocious of Gurage resistances to Menelick's conquest of Gurage, and won many battles between 1875-78. Imam Injamo rose to more prominence in tactics. He is buried in Gumer. His grave site is covered with trees, needs some trimming.
Their efforts were not islmacization of Gurage. They came together to fight back the annexation of Gurage to Shoa by Menelick. There is no record of them condemning Christianity and increasing islamization of Gurage or Kebena. Side effects of their victories against Menelick may have influenced some pagans like Horus to convert to Islam but there is no record of them imposing Islam.

Re: Did you know Halaba now cushitic was once a semitic group
Noble Orommua,
Gives me a lot of laugh when he claims DNA of this tribe or that tribe in Ethiopia concluded this or that. That is so funny. In a country where 99.9% of the population does not even their blood type talking about population based inference is so ridiculous. People never even get tested for hookworm and ascaris, let alone DNA. YouTube fanatics using crayons produced fake charts in vacuum. NobleOrommuma shares the Nazi ideology of racism and tribalism. It is sad some are accepting this kind of unfounded, mgaic pulled out of an Orommuma pocket.

I have seen organized intellectual efforts of Christian colonialist authors from Western Europe such as Britain, Germany, France and US reviewing, revising and rewriting history of Christian Ethiopia they built in as much the same way a Christian state as they are building the Jewish state of Israel. A Christian island they called Ethiopia once. Really? With a Muslim population of 50% or more a Christian island?
In order to mobilize world Christian community for the colonization of mineral rich Afghanistan and oil rich Arab nations, they condemn nationalist resistance to their colonization as religious jihad. By doing so they try to discredit the nationalists of Afghanistan and Arabs as religious fanatics. The truth is different.
Also, you should consider reciprocity. Just in case your mother's folklore or legend is true.
At no time did Menelick went to war without his Cross and without prayers and blessing by his Christian priests surrounding him.
Would it be wrong to:
1. conclude that he used Christianity to expand his kingdom?
2. justify Imams Baqsa and Injamo to invoke Islam, and declare Jihad to repel the invaders?
Just saying!!

If you really want a broad discussion, leave the religion argument/agenda out. Out of ethiopian or Gurage agenda unless you are conversing to your muslim domain. And this forum is not. That argument takes no where. A lot of atrocities have been committed in the name of religion including crusade and Jihad etc. Don’t try to portray as if gurage was a muslim empire even before christianity as some muslim gurage and Silte’s believe they migrated from middle east and are descendants of your prophet.

Still I ask you to learn more than what your mom.brainwashed you about Imams Baqsa and Injamo role in defending Gurage's independence. You, your mom and Horus, all in unison, ignore the sacrifice of Imam Baqsa, including his life. You bury some history and remember some. Why is that youall remember Injamo but Baqsa.
I only responded to Horus false history that Gurage Muslims such as Injamo fought Menelick to islamcise Gurage. Go back and his post. I only responded, I did not raise it. You did not oppose him to be secular because you believed his false narrative. Worse still you refuse to be re-educated. Stay bigotted. Good luck!
