I truthfully can't help some of this ignorance here, if you wanna call all 15 million Somalis in the Horn hybrids go on, and go ahead, call the 30 million Oromo hybrids as well and the 30 million Habesha hybrids as well, the entire Horn are all hybrids, go on tell us that lol.

And also tell those Berbers who are natives of Africa who share 90% DNA with Somalis that they're also hybrids because they don't resemble your image of "African looks", tell the Egyptians they're also hybrids, and tell the Khoisan of South Africa they're hybrids. Might as well tell the greater 50% of Africa they're all hybrids and foreigners to your strange image of your continent. BUT what if we said YOU are foreigners to OUR Africa? How would that strike you, INVADER? lol. Africa is the land of its owners whomever they may be from the Khoisan to the Tuareg and nothing but your ignorance changes that.

Ikengawo:

its a silly assumption that they are ALL mixed with arab when ethiopia, which used to own somalia, was never colonized by arabs or anyone
Somalia was eventually colonized but whites but the hardly stepped foot into the country

africans have diverse looks. they're not all the typical 'nigerian' look and we should stop acting ignorant when they're not. whites and arabs came FROM blacks not vis versa

Why should we be asking somalians questions, in fact Somalians had better start thinking with their brains. I don't care if u are mixed with the devil, one thing I am sure is Somalians have the largest diaspoarans of mordern day Africa in the western world. Somalians should organise themselves, every DIASPOARAN familiy contributing to a new War effort. I would suggest young Somalians in diasporas of 18 to 35 to organise themselves into a militia. They should speak to the Kenyan Authorities to provide lands for training. They should solicit for funds from the four corners of the Earth with a possibly added backing of the super powers Like Washington and London and the EU behind this new adventure of taking their country back from the bandits running the country.

The theme of this war would be a no hold bar conflict, the geneva convention can take a back sit for a moment, that is total annihilation of any opposition that they comfront, don't allow your enemies to escape to fight another day, seek them out from their holes and destroy them. I think you mind need to take a few lessons from the Nigerian Army of how they dealt with the Boko Haram problems, no prisoners total destruction.

This should be the Generational duty of the present crop of Somalians in diasporas any other school of thought or discussion is a complete and utterly waste of time. The world we like to know your culture the day u wrestle your country from those ameteurs al queda intimidating the poor citizenry. Your country has a 1000 miles of beautiful beach why leave such a paradise to a bunch or area boys with AK47, the earlier u get rid of these rag-tag toy soldiers the better for you lot. You can make your country a paradise so get started.

ElRazur:

Question for the Somali.

Why is sewing of ladies punannii common in your region? I know in Nigeria we have intimacy with minor up in the north, but why is the sewing shut of a woman's private part still common? And to make it worse, a man dis-virgin such woman without taking off the thread. Is there any cultural justification for this?

By the way Khaan is an awesome rapper.

I look forward to your answer.

[b]Overall, the genetic studies conclude that Somalis and their fellow Ethiopian and Eritrean Northeast African groups represent a unique and distinct racial bloc on the continent:[39]

"The most distinct separation is between African and non-African populations. The northeastern-African -- that is, the Ethiopian and Somali -- populations are located centrally between sub-Saharan African and non-African populations,  The fact that the Ethiopians and Somalis have a subset of the sub-Saharan African haplotype diversity -- and that the non-African populations have a subset of the diversity present in Ethiopians and Somalis -- makes simple-admixture models less likely; rather, these observations support the hypothesis proposed by other nuclear-genetic studies (Tishkoff et al. 1996a, 1998a, 1998b; Kidd et al. 1998) -- that populations in northeastern Africa may have diverged from those in the rest of sub-Saharan Africa early in the history of modern African populations and that a subset of this northeastern-African population migrated out of Africa and populated the rest of the globe. These conclusions are supported by recent mtDNA analysis (Quintana-Murci et al. 1999)."[/b]

igbo boy:

Khosian are very african for your information, I have reitierated several times the diversity of the black race,

However, Yes Somalis are black people with mixed arab heritage, the rest of us are different not becuase of being mixed, but thats how we are

Devonian:

@ KnowAll: I very much agree with your reasoning. Nonetheless,
@ OP: Given that Somalia had been part and parcel of the trans-sahara trade since about the 2nd century BC, it would be an absolute lie to claim that there were no sexual liaisons between the Arabs and the Ancient Somalis which over these centiries had produced mixed raced children.

KenyanLady:


You are absolutely right, Somalis are mixed race, there ain't no doubt about it,


This is typical Caucasian nose







Afro-Caucasian nose

we have our own way of life (nomadism)

KenyanLady:


No. this nose look like Bantu nose, I mean real African nose.

ifele:

The thing dont complain against God or man if other folks dont look like you or your people. Those different looking people do not exist for your sake.

tpia.:

who cares?

those of you who want to date them should go slug it out elsewhere.
