One last point which i believe is essential for Anthropologist to bear in mind, that is Ethiopia itself is not one nation but rather a prison of many nations oppressed by successive Abyssinian (Aethiopian) expansions, which was only restricted to the Sudanese border in 1870 but today with various European powers have managed to reach as far as Ogaden (Western Somalia) and Southern Somalia, Northern somalia.
The problem here is that Cushites have mainly converted to Islam as recent as the 12th century and they find themselves battling Aethiopians who are backed by powerful western nations just to attain their own liberty.
Afars (With a small 2 million population), who are the closest relatives of the somalis, are today the worst hit by the barbaric nature of the Aethiopians.
Among the Cushites, it is only the somalis, who have the will and the man power to confront Aethiopian expansion and aggression head on.
As this video demonstrates.
It is fortunate that a somali like myself can provide real and accurate information regarding this matter.
I have started a campaign to encourage Anthropologist to ditch the word Aethiopian when describing Cushite peoples, especially somalis and Afars.
Believe me calling a somali an Aethiopian amounts to insult and is nothing short of calling a somali a Nigger or any other offensive word.
