Roger Nsengiyumva a Tutsi whose father was killed in the genocide when he was 9 days old had played a Somali twice despite looking nothing like us.

The first time was in 2011, in the bbc teen drama postcode where I believe he played a Somali asylum seeker.

Fun fact: His younger brother and mother in the show were Somali, his mum was played by Yusra Warsama.

In 2018, he plays a Somali albeit a 3rd generation Somali in the BBC show the informer, his family are played by west Africans apart from his brother who might be played by a Sudanese.

Why can't they actually hire an actual Somali?

He looks like this Somali guy I used to know. The fellow lost a lot of weight due to a Khat infection and ended up looking like our Tutsi brother.

A Tutsi playing us is much better than the countless Madows who have done so. At least they vaguely look like us. If this nigga shaved his head, than he could probably pass for a Somali as well.
