Loved Japan. I’m Eritrean and no other country has given me more joy and even bought a holiday home there. Don’t speak for others #japan
Sabean fallacy in the horn is linked to Eurasian theory
Yes, the strong Sabaean colonization theory was largely a fallacy. Colonial-era scholars claimed South Arabians migrated en masse around 1000–800 BCE and brought civilization, writing, and statehood to the Horn. Archaeology and linguistics since the 1970s show mostly indigenous developments with limited Sabaean influence via trade and small groups, not a civilizing invasion. Linked to the same Hamitic racial ideas and rejected as such.
Westerners have a history of lying and using racial pseudoscience to claim histories in the horn. It is now repackaged as “Eurasian”
Yes, theories like the Hamitic hypothesis did. Some Western scholars classified Horn peoples as superior "Caucasoid" invaders who brought civilization, distorting history to fit racial hierarchies and justify colonialism. Rejected since the 1960s as pseudoscience. Afroasiatic languages have African roots; genetics show ancient local ancestry plus admixture, not a civilizing-invader story.
“The Sabaeans of ancient South Arabia were an ancient Semitic people who spoke a distinct Old South Arabian language (Sabaic) rather than ancient Arabic, meaning they were not ethnically or linguistically classified as Arabs in ancient times”
Let’s do our research next time.
The habesha community are extremely naive with this narrative
The Ge’ez script is not south Arabian, clearly a Eurocentric invention that makes no sense with the evidence
Ge’ez is an indigenous script that makes people feel uncomfortable, it questions african agency and accomplishments

Black scholars are expected to work harder, cite more, and prove more—not because their work is weaker, but because the standards of legitimacy are unevenly applied.

Yes, the South Arabian origins of Ge'ez are indeed debated. Scholars like Jacqueline Pirenne and Grover Hudson argue against it, citing earlier inscriptions in Eritrea/Ethiopia (e.g., 9th century BCE) and no clear evolutionary link in South Arabia. Pirenne proposed local development in the Horn of Africa. Mainstream views still trace it to Ancient South Arabian roots with regional adaptations. Sources: Wikipedia, historical linguistics studies.
Both Eritreans and Ethiopians are products of the Eurocentric manipulation of their history and believed a very botched version of their own history by westerners with no evidence. They are still to this day repeating fabrications on their history.
The bold acts of Haitians to overthrow slavery and colonialism reverberated around the world, forcing slaveholding nations like Britain and France to come face to face with the contradictions of their own “enlightenment.” Many would now like to forget this reckoning.

Europeans taking credit for ending slavery is like drug cartels taking credit for ending the drug trade after quitting drug trafficking & investing drug money in the stock market. Slavery ended because Whites stopped enslaving non Whites. They were the ones keeping slavery alive
