^^^^^^^^^I guess the "Arab admixture" is mostly with Banadiri/reer xamar groups.

To say the fact your response impress me, I like it when friends are very clear about themselves and what they believe. With this I have a clear picture of you, sort of. As such, I respect your choice to be different, as I am different. Wont like to derail this brother's thread, but sometime we would have more friendly encounter and conversation somewhere freer. Goodluck this year.

Yes benadiri reer xamar people have mixed blood
you can find many tipes of benadiri some are almost arab looking,some look like regular somalis and some look bantu

Some of the benadiris have light complezion and big nose and full lips
but in most of the cases they look like the other somali

All somali clans have an arab ancestor linked to prophet mohamed family....i am from the darood clan,the legend says that Darood ismail jabarti was an arab sheikh whi descended fro the prophet and came to somalia in the 10th Century.....he is burried in Haylan in northen somalia

Probably these are all legends created because the people wanted to be linked with the prophets so it is just for religion
Somalia is in the arab league just because Siyad barre our former president wanted support from the other muslim states

But genetically speaking somalis are a unique etnic group of the Horn of Africa
And anyway everybody is mixed many arabs have african blood

And also many african americans have white blood but they are still blck

Eveb hausa and fulani have a litle admixture
Re: Somalis And Nigerians Are Brothers by PAGAN9JA(m): 3:10pm On Jan 06, 2014
ok I get you.

I have seen pics of those benadiris. they looks Arab, some of them.

btw I dont care for the ancestry links. Most of them are forged. The Arab tribes themselves have forged ancestry links relating to Joktan and other jewish sources.

Hausa and Fulani dont have admixture with Arabs. some Hausa are mixed with Fulani though. However Maguzawa Hausa like me are pure.

macof:

I agree Somalis are our brothers by racial grouping that is....however you Somalis have a stronger allegiance with Arabs than you can ever have with the larger part of Africa.

It's a fact and the whole world knows it, Somalia is more or less like an Arab colony.

So If I migrate to Somalia and construct an altar dedicated to Ogun(A pagan deity) I won't be criticized for practicing my tradition?


You just dont know Somalis....somalis respect arabs because the prophet was an arab but most somalis actually dislike arabs

As i said here in italy when i needed some information to go to some offices i always asked to senegales guys who sell stuff in the streets of Milan....this because most if my somali friends told me that you can trust black people in italy while arabs have a reputation of drunk rapists and robbers

Senegalese people are true muslim and most of them are better than the arab moroccabs and tunisians

Anyway somalis dont like foreigners wether they are black or arab or white

And when we had a good functioning governement during the Siyad barre regime the somali gov was close friend with mozambique and angola
Our governement supported the struggle if black people in south africa and zimbabwe

There is a somali song called "midab gumeysi diida" in support oc the struggle of the african nation still under the colonial rule

Siyad barre sent money and aid to the liberation movments of mozambique and angola against the portoguese

Here is siyad barre with mozambique president Samora Machel an Julius nyerere president if Tanzania
Siyad barre is the first on the left LOOK AT THIS PHOTO...I SEE 3 BLACK AFRICANS LEADER ...

Kanuri are not mixed. They are similar to other Chadic Sahelian groups, like Hausa, etc.

Tuaregs are not all mixed. Mostly Tuareg Bella are mixed with SOnghai, Fula, etc. groups.



Shuwa Arabs are not real Arabs. They are Arabized Africans nomads. Shuwa Arab is not exactly a tribe but a coalition of different tribes.

Tribes such as Fur, Nuba, etc., are 100% not Arab. Infact the Fura converted to islam barely 100-150 yrs back.

The remaining are of Nubian/Sudanese descent.


Diffa Arabs are a branch of these Shuwa migrants in Nigeria. They keep fighting with all of us (Hausa, Tuareg, etc.).


Pure Arabs are the Bedu and other tribal Arabs from the mainland Peninsula + the Rashaida in Erithrea.
The looks , culture, etc., are all different.



I dont worship idols. I worship Gods like Sarkin Iskoki, Mayyali, Kure, etc.

No somali politics is related ti clan and bantus rapresent only 5% of the population traditionaly the president is from the hawiye clan and the prime minister is darood

There are 4 major clans in somalia Darood,Dir,Hawiye and Rahanweyn

Currently the president of somalia is Hawiye the prime minister is darood the minister of foreign affairs is Dir(isaaq) and the head of the parlament is rahanweyn


Anyway we have the minister of infrastructure who is Bantu somali

Bantu somalis and arab mixed somalis are categorized as Beelaha shanaad or minorities

We also have a Bantu national hero named Nasiib Bundo who fought against the italian colonization...he was a former slave on a plantation he escaped his somali masters and settled in the shabelle.regiom with his people....he was a brave man and a devote muslim he is one of our national heroes many schools are named after him
