ethnicity is a social construct.
Languages are constantly evolving and breaking up for example Geez gave us Amharic and Tigrinya two rivaling people groups from a common core... same with Somali and Afar both originating from a Cushitic core but eventually splitting up due to lingustic and geographical differences.... Oromo originate from the Eastern Cushitic branch this means Oromo was the same ethnic group at one point in history with Somalis and Afars but eventually split due to geographical and lingustic evolutions. Therefore Ethnicity is a social construct like Religion. Ethnicity is just a mental software. What is real is DNA. From DNA we can summarize all ethnic groups as either Cushitic(Cushitic lowlander like Somali-Afar, Cushitic highlander like Hadiya-Agew), Semetic (Arab, Hebrew, Yemeni) or Nilotic (Gambela, South Sudan)
Ethnic groups are created by languages and these languages can be used to expand an ethnicity either through migration or by assimilation.
If you are born in Afar region you will 100% end up becoming Muslim speaking Afar language and identifying with the Afar tribe although you could be from a foreign tribe you simply being raised around an ethnic group will make you act and follow their behaviors....
For example on social media when I make a post that promotes something Oromo I can get oromo likes... but when I post something amhara I can get amhara likes.... this means that your mind basically can determine your ethnic group simply thinking yourself as Amhara or Oromo makes you one. Gaining acceptance into the Oromo Community and Amhara community based on my social media posts just goes to show how ETHNICITY IS MAN MADE. You are either CUSHITIC or NILOTIC or OMOTIC or ARAB.
Based on my advanced understanding I can literally become Hadiya tomorow and attempt to join their ethnicity by identifiying as one following their religion, learning their language and marrying into their tribe. its that simple .
Ethnicity is a social construct like Religion. Just like how Christianity split in 1054 into Catholic and Orthodox and. in 1518 Protestantism was born from a rebellion out of Catholicism. We also see in Islam a split between muslims (Shia and Sunni) these religions act just like tribes or ethnic groups. In fact these religions have indoctrination camps known as "churches or mosques" which function as community centers to brainwash the community and children into adhering to a belief system that is not proven to be real whatsoever..
For example you can tell a child 1+1=3 and say it enough it becomes the truth. This is the same with religion and ethnicity

Re: ethnicity is a social construct
by telling a child that 1+1 = 3 you can convince the child to belief your lie is the truth
this is how entities like Fano, TPLF, Shabia, Shene are formed against the Cushitic state of Ethiopia that should have access to the sea. By telling their members to hate the "other tribe" they attempt to build small weakened tribal states in the Cushitic confederation known as Ethiopia.
Ethiopia must seek to gain ports in Somaliland if not Ethiopia should annex Somaliland. Its America and the EU that are stopping Ethiopia from sea access
