  • [PLEASE HELP] Why are there so many white Somalians??

    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)

    Reer xamar(Huge numbers, no general estimates but they are very large numbers and i've read they can be seen all over the country)

    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)

    They are on the edge of the Indian Ocean and they are muslims (like arabians). They look mostly Indian to me. It's very easy to spot the difference between Somalians and other Africans/African Americans. From what I've noticed, they usually have tall foreheads and longer noses than the average African. Their hair isn't as course as west/central/south Africans' hair. Some Ethiopians look Somalian too.

        Not talking about them, talking about the white people in the videos above, what countries do they come from? Does anybody reckon their culture is similar to that maybe they came from there
