All Horners(Ethiopians, Eritreans, Somalians And Djiboutians) Were The Same by Nobody: 11:11pm On Jun 14, 2017
All Ethiopians, Eritreans, Somalians and Djiboutians were the same people around 10, 000 BC and had spoken one language called Afro-Asiatic.

The ancestor of Afro-Asiatic language called Proto-Afroasiatic originated between 18,000 to 12,000 BC. The different theories for place where it originated was in Eurasia or Middle East or Northern Africa or Horn of Africa. But Afro-Asiatic language definitely originated around the Horn of Africa. Afro-Asiatic started to branch out to Cushite, Semitic, Omotic, Berber, Chadic and Ancient Egyptian language after 9,000 BC onwards.

Ethiopia is now home to about 80 ethnic groups. Ethiopians speak Semitic, Cushitic and Omotic family languages. Very few Ethiopians also speak Nilo-Sharan super family language around Ethio-Sudan border. We may be diverse, but we share common ancestor with together Eritreans, Somalians and Djiboutians back around 10,000 BC. It's only language and culture which distinct us, we are the same people genetically. We should use the fact of common ancestor as a motivation to prosper and be great again like we had been in the past.

I love you emiya/enat(mother) Ethiopia and Africa!

The below map is origin place(Horn of Africa) of Afro-Asiatic and how it breached out into other languages.

You are right walal. I spoke to many Oromo people in Addis Ababa and I was honestly shocked by how many similar words we have. Our numbers are almost exactly the same and even the Afar numbers are very similar to Somali.

Btw Africans tend to think the Semetic languages are foreign to Africa, but little do they know that the Semetic languages originated in Africa and moved into West Asia.

True walal. Semitic family language has it's ancestor in the Horn of Africa. The people who speak it migrated to Arabia and then some of them re-migrate to their place of origin from 2500 BC onwards to the Horn of Afric.

How much time do you think it will take for all Horners in specific and East Africans in general to unite in one political state?

All it takes is the correct economic and political events to take place and there would be a rally for a united horn of Africa.

There would probably have to be a regime in Ethiopia, Eritrea and Djibouti. The ruling elites in these countries are too autocratic.
