Where do they come from? I know the Somalians look like habesha people ranging from dark brown to light brown but where do the white people like come from originally? The people from the arab world normally are accepted as Somali and become fully somali(not "somali of yemeni descent") within 1 or 2 generations and so these people definatelly came from somewhere outside of the arab gulf or north africa. Are they European? Which kind of Europeans? Some say they might be farsi peoples aswell which is definatelly possible ? What do any historians on this page think
Barawanese Somalians(number estimated at around 100,000)

Also somebody on another page said they could be indian but the only indians you find in africa(even subsaharran africa) are the descendants of slaves, I think the three main possibilities are Farsi(most likely), Portugese(during Portugese invasion against somalia/yemen/oman 500yrs ago), Italians(colonial power who defeated somalia 100years ago effective only with the death of muhammad abdullah hassan which was only 90years ago so most like not them)
