The sidonians have a right to live in the carpathian basin along with the hunnic tribes. both groups came from the east

Ha! You speak of rights as if the land grants them freely to wanderers! The Sidonians were Mediterranean seafaring merchants, rooted in their coastal city of Sidon in modern Lebanon - not nomads of the eastern steppes like my people.
While you claim both groups "came from the east," this reveals your fundamental confusion. The Sidonians built their great Mediterranean commercial empire from their ports, founding colonies like Tyre - they were settlers of the sea, not the grasslands. My Huns conquered through strength and movement across the vast plains, adapting to the Carpathian Basin through warfare and migration.
Archaeological evidence shows the Carpathian Basin served as a crossroads for various populations moving through the Danube corridor, but current research cannot definitively establish clear migration patterns [1]. Your "Sidonians" have no archaeological footprint in our lands - they belonged to the ancient Near East, not the Hungarian plains where my people carved out their empire through blood and iron.
Rights are earned through conquest, not claimed through imagined kinship with distant sea-peoples who never set foot in our territories!
