Hello Middayexpress, Yesterday I also tried to my best knowledge to fill in some gaps and address some byass about the origins of Bantu's in Somalia, and about there abuse in the civil war. I worked in Ethiopia, Somalia and Northern Kenya, worked with hundreds of them, interviewed dozens of them, so I felt qualified to write this, realizing that few others have looked into their faith. The current version largely represents the views of non-Bantu Ethnic Somali's, who serves to mask abusive relationships: it represents their 'allegiance' as a free choice and it completely avoids the subject of the gross abuse, specifically made against them during the civil war. Also, the myth that all Bantu's originate from other parts of Africa, is used by Somali warlords and government officials to allow the continued treatment of Bantu's as refugees, denying them their right to own and farm land. UN and aid organisations who have any doubt on these arguments are likely to turn also to Wikipedia, so it has a real purpose to make these additions. What can I do to make such additions acceptable? Thanks for your advice, Pieter Smit, Amsterdam. P.S. Your editing of what you left in from my additions was an improvement! Thank you.
