Forget my source, lets just use the source you provided. It said his full name was, “Ahmad ibn Ibrihim al-Ghazi,†how Somali is that name? Can you tell me any Somali in this planet with such name?
“Imam Ahmad has traditionally sometimes been interpreted as being an Arab in Ethiopia[1], though he is more often represented as Somali native.[2] The traditional interpretation of his ethnicity as Somali, however, has been challenged. Adal was a multiethnic state comprising both Afars, and Somalis.â€
Ok, your own source say, “AN ARAB IN ETHIOPIAâ€, it also said Somali clan’s claim has been repudiated, dismissed, challenged, did you saw that?
He started his halgan at Adal, not Xamar, “Adal was a multiethnic state comprising both Afars, and Somalis.†To be exact Afar and Issa.
“Imam Ahmad was born near Zeila†Zeila is Issa province of Somaliland Republic. How did darood got to Zeila? Not a single darood lives there today let alone nearly 500 years ago. Issa’s who lives there Know who he was, they never say he was Somali. The Adal kingdom was Afar kingdom and they never had a claim. So your fairytale ends there.
