I happen to be a benadiri and we are split into two. One is named the reer xamar which are Persian and the other is Barwani which are Portugese grin

We were somalized and speak Somali (I know it fluently) and I'm from the Persian grin

how did the Portuguese end up in Somalia? The Persian I understand.

Are you/they considered Somali clans or tribes in their own right?

For the most part we are but there's a small minority that don't like us.

Portugese colonized Kenya and Somali empire invaded the Portugese and won. After that most of the portugese just moved to the capital mogadishu.
