where did you get this idea of Qallu been descents of (abu Bakr)we oromo have our own book that shows that Qallu are part of barantoo group of oromo i will try to put up when i find that book,in Ethiopia they will kill you if they find out that you have that book,i will get it on Wikipedia soon.so people stop putting up something that is not true if you don,t have avoidance don,t put anything up because it will only make you sound and look stupid.believed to be is not a correct way of claiming that one group of people belong to another. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.238.37 (talk • contribs) 17:56, 11 October 2010

Qallo[edit]

There is no Somali clan called 'qallo', in fact the word qallo in Somali means forienger!! ( well technically non Muslim, but you can use it as foreigner too) so the fact that an Oromo tribe is called 'foriegner' or non muslim, is related to the fact that ALL OROMOS were called Galla by the europeans, the word galla/qallo is the SAME WORD,(BASICALLY THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE VERSION!) THEY BOTH MEAN THE SAME THING!!! FOREIGNER, THERE IS NO SOMALI CLAN CALLED FOREIGNER WHERE ARE THE SOURCES! The same thing with the Somalis waaaay down south that border Bantu tribes in Kenya, the Bantus calls the Somalis Sejew as a slang term... which means "who are you?" in SWAHILI, Now are you going to say those Somalis are not actually Somalis but 'seejeews', it's the same thing! But the somalis did not take the term and use it for themselves.. they already had a name..Somalis.. meanwhile the oromos boarding somalis, took a somali word (meaning foreigner) and called their entire clan that...pretty dumb eh? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.0.227.149 (talk) 08:57, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The current text is at least partially sourced. Can you cite references to refute the current sources and/or support what you are saying? If so then feel free to add them to the article. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 16:09, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
