Nah. We were indigenous to Eastern Ethiopia and Northern Somalia, and then we expanded east and south. It was actually the British that halted Somali expansion into Central Kenya.
As a Somali, I don’t support Pan-Africanism because it is firmly against Somalia. Pan-Africanists will usually take the side of anyone opposing Somalia, yet simultaneously claiming that we are “all Africans” and should help one another. They have consistently betrayed & disappointed us. It’s clear Pan-Africanism has never had the interests of Somalia in mind.
Precisely, even though somalis have contributed massively to the african cause. We havent been treated right. InshAllah somalia position will be restored and corrected justly

Unfortunately Kenya’s official state historiography has suppressed this tragic and traumatic history of my people. Despite being raised with stories and memories of state violence, we were never educated on this history. They tried to silence, burry or repress it; it’s a political taboo talking about Shifta liberation efforts. THANKS for creating such a well researched and informed documentary.
I can only imagine how horrible that is. I wouldn’t wish anyone to live in fear and witness bloody murder. I am sorry to hear of your pain under the thumb of the Government. I admit I do not know what Kenya’s official state historiography is. I would like to know more about it if at all possible. Indeed, the killing of thousands of people by the Kenyan army during the Shifta war was censored. This was one of the findings of the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission of Kenya. Whether genuine or not, President Kenyatta publicly admitted the atrocities live on the official government news channel after TJRC gave their report. He also put aside money adding the admission of guilt similar to the one by Nelson Mandela. TJRC hearings were live on three mainstream media channels including the Government channel. Things have changed after 2007. Speaking from personal experience, the plight of the Somal is more widely discussed. Late last year a discussion was had in a shuttle matatu I was in for the duration we were stuck in traffic about the Shifta war and the massacre. To be fair, I do live among the Borana and Sakuye. I learned a lot about the massacres passively. I learned about the Wagalla massacre and those two-page articles in the newspaper. Before that, I used to know it as the Moi massacre / village massacre / mass grave massacre. I learned about the Bulla Massacre and the Ethiopian Massacre from mainstream media. There are even some I vaguely remember like a failed East Africa coordinated coup that was brutally crushed. Citizen TV did a feature on the Wagalla Massacre. KTN and Citizen interviewed the surviving victims of the massacre. The Prime Minister visited the Wagalla Memorial. There was the repeal of the 1972 law and the prosecution of those responsible. Our school doesn’t teach about government massacres and manipulations in history class, just targeted assassinations and systematic oppression in a broader sense. That said all my early knowledge about Somali and Borana I learned from my neighbors but most of it I learned from my secondary school library. There was a book of essays and biographies called History of Africa in our school library. I went to a public school under the Free Day Secondary Education. If I didn’t go to Secondary school I would have been ignorant of the following probably until my adulthood. -The name Northern Frontier District. -The villagization and manipulation of the Boran through the massacre of their animals. -The Waso Borana boycott of the first elections. -The somalization of Borana in the 30s after their displacement from Wajir by the British due to religious fights; which subsequently led to their separation from their Ethiopian kin. -The Samburu were moved North by the British. -Gafa shifta, Somali Youth League, Northern People Party, Galla-Somali border, Daba camps -A DC of the NFD who was killed in the 60s -The state of emergency in the NFD in the 60s
Corrections: Thoes resposible were not procecuted. I meant to say 'There was the repeal of the 1972 law that prevented the prosecution of those responsible.' The book from Secondary school was the History in Africa Journal volume 23. The specific paper was Writing Biographies of Borana by Mario I. Aguilar who tries to present history from individual biographies as much as from archives.
And there are Maasai in Tz and Kenya, Luos and Lughyas in Ug, Oromos in Ethiopia and Kenya. So what's wrong with there being Kenyan Somalis? I bet most Kenyan Somali people today would rather have that Kenyan passport than a Somalia one.

Somalis origin can only be traced somewhere near Djibouti. Their lack of traditional family planning is what led them to expand into Kenya. They live in Kenya rent free yet they claim they want to unite with greater Somalia. If you feel Kenya isn't a place for Somalis pack head into Somalia.
1:12 The Eastern Cushites migrated into Kenya 3,000 years ago. They predate the Bantu majority in Kenya. In fact, southern Cushites migrated into Kenya 5,200 years ago. Please get your facts right.

It wouldn't make much difference because even now that land is predominantly occupied by Somali ethnic group ruled from peaceful Kenya which protects them from hostile elements from Somalia. Very few Kenyans from down country find their way there compared to those from up there who live in south Kenya .
