Black/white? by IndianBwoy(m): 6:19pm On Mar 05, 2016 |

We Somalis are not BLACKS... like Sri Lankan, South Indian as they have same dark skins like black's skins. Somalis don't have black features like other West Africans. Somalis/ Ethiopians/ Eritreans are Afro Asiatic race. Horn of African are Hamitic which part of Caucasoid race. West African, Central African, Southeast African and Southern African are Negroids race considered BLACK. As Somalis we had slaves, and they were Bantu (Negroids) which is related to you guys of West Africa. 4 Likes 2 Shares

SomaliGuy7: Despite calls to ban Somali domestic workers from working in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, it remains unclear whether the Saudi government which had been slammed by human rights organizations for its treatment of domestic workers, largely from Africa and Asia is in cahoots with the Somali authorities over the recruitment issue. “Sending our girls to Saudi Arabia is totally wrong due to abuses by the employers,” said Mohamud Ahmed Nur, the former Mogadishu mayor. “Our ladies are the symbol of our integrity; therefore I am calling for the [Somali] government not repeat that mistake of sending our ladies to Saudi Arabia before they are thrown off tall buildings or have their legs tied up like slaves.” He said. Among the countries that recently banned its citizens from working in Saudi Arabia is Indonesia after two maids from the country were beheaded for murder in Saudi Arabia. Some of the former domestic workers described their work conditions ‘grim’ with employers forced them to work extra hours, and at some point deprived them of sleep time. “It felt like I was in a prison – the daily work was endless and you would be subject to any abuses at any given time.” said Zainab Abdirashid who left her employment in 2011, after her employer woman broke her index finger with cane she used to beat her. “It was totally unbearable.” she said sadly. She warned Somali government of sending Somali women to Saudi Arabia. As the news of abuses emerged, Somalis around the world took to the social media, calling Somali government to return the domestic workers already sent to Saudi or bear the responsibility of any human rights violations committed against them. http://www.hiiraan.com/news4/2016/Jan/103860/despite_abuses_saudi_arabia_aims_to_recruit_15000_somali_maids.aspx 1 Like |

TruthHurts1: Somali women are kept as sex slaves in Yemen and Saudi Arabia. These photos were taken in a neighbourhood in Aden , Yemen where many of the Somali female migrants who come to Yemen seeking work end up. Most of these photos show Somali prostitutes gathering in a slum house in al-Basateen neighbourhood of the southern Yemeni port city of Aden . This is a tragedy created by greed , warlords , religious extremism and clan wars in Somalia . Men bear the blame of the creation of the suffering of the Somali women Worldwide… Photo credit: REUTERS/Khaled Abdullah http://manabolyo.com/many-somali-female-refugees-in-yemen-end-up-as-sex-slaves-graphic-photos/ 2 Likes

SomaliGuy7: [size=24pt]“In Yemen there is a social class of people called ‘the servants,’ who have usually come from Somalia or other African countries, [/size]who live in a stage of bondage and are very widely disregarded in society,” said Christoph Wilcke, a senior researcher at Human Rights Watch’s Middle East and North Africa Division. “It has to do with dark skin, being foreign and living in poverty or in debt.” http://www.jpost.com/Features/In-Thespotlight/Hundreds-of-slaves-discovered-in-Yemen |

SomaliGuy7: Oh so she's related to you? That makes a lot of sense. But why are you Somalis so dumb? On July 20, 2015, a fighter in Syria called Abu Anas Somali advised men to come to the Islamic State and buy a slave instead of taking a wife in the West.

Ethiopians, somalis, eritrians, northern Sudan, all those countries people are a mixed breed, blacks and arabs. We just dont know when it really happened. it could be 2000yrs ago or even 3000yrs ago. Or as a results of black africans being rãped by arabs. Thats the reason Somalis and kenyans are so different from each others but they are neighbours. why are germans not different from Dutch? you dont need a rocket scientist to come to that conclussion that people from the horn of africa are a mixed breed, they cannot be 100% black africans. we cannot say the same about arabs who are in north africa, because we know they came from middle east via egypt and Libya, they are not the origins of Africa.They know it themselves that their origins is middle east. Actualy they are settlers. No historic connection with the area they are based, except egypt with its pyramid, but there is still that arguement of who really built the pyramids, is it black africans or arabs. Arabs could have come there and found the Pyramids there already. Even the sudanese consider themselves Arabs, hence the seperation between sudan and south sudan, Sudan consider itself as an arab country and South sudan as a black african country. |
Re: Black/white? by SomaliGuy7(m): 7:28am On Mar 06, 2016 |
14: No arab mixed, no Indian mixed. You should seriously consider checking the genetics of Somalis. They have E1b1b Y-DNA which originated from Eastern Africa, whereas it's concentrated in Somalia like 90 to 100%. This same DNA is found in the balkans, North Africans and some parts of West Asia but only a small proportion. This should give you a picture that Somalis are not really mixed. And there isn't a Cushite blood or race or even ancestry, Cushite is a language group, not people. No Egypt blood or anything else, Somalis are Somalis. Though as I said before, the lower part of Egypt does share some Y-DNA as Somalis but only a small proportion.

LeSudAfricaine: I consider myself SOMALI. That is what my ethnicity is. you should google or talk to somalis. Somalis consider themselves Somalis, and not BLACK or WHITE or ARAB. This goes for Ethiopians and Eritreans. We don't look like blacks nor do we look like arabs or whites. 6 Likes 4 Shares |
