it makes sense, if you're a part of an isolated group of people, you're gonna look strikingly different, think the Amazonians for example. Have you seen what the Aboriginals looked like before the coloniasts came? Very primitive and savage looking, it's not their fault it's a natural occurance...

wow, just to humor this: it's more likely that a group of people with a civilization in the ancient times had contact with others for thousands of years allowing inter-marriage or more likely culture sharing. so things like ideal beauty and sexual traits would be common within that group of...

can I pm you about this? I can relate with this

Maraq is soup. Suugo is sauce or stew, it's thicker. Chapati and sabaayad aren't the same either. You're thinking paratha. Chapati is closer to bread while paratha is the sabayad (fried) one.

So could explain how Afran Qallo came to be? Is every sub-clan under it formerly another group brought into the tribe through absorption? Any luck with finding the info

Are you a member of the Afran Qallo clan? Your knowledge of them makes me think so but you could just be a regular Somali who read up on them. You see I'm not sure how much to take of your statements with a grain of salt.

Mashallah, great news! I wonder how this was funded: a rich Somali entrepreneur or an NGO? Or surprise option number three, the federal government?

Is the Maya Maya Guda? Their oromos right? What comes under the Hawiyya section? I'm piecing together ny father's lineage with these questions

See that makes a lot of sense. If they move to France for example, they already know the languages to survive. No learning another language really. What happened to me is exactly what you said. My teachers said I was struggling the most in the class with English so my parents started speaking...

So what does the Babille divide into? Like is it going to divide into the different people absorbed by the that sub-clan?

I've gotta ask, is there any proof to the Isaaaqs come from Jews opinion some have? I used to ask myself that bc I had a lot of Habar Younis - Isxaaq friends and i thought that sometimes

This! I've met more Djibouti diaspora speaking fluent Somali than the other two. Dunno if it's because of the reasons they moved abroad: Djiboutians usually through immigration, but the others through asylum and refugee programs. Maybe the try harder to blend in? dunno

They need tips from Ethiopia no offense to them. Don't quite understand how a country of one language and religion and when Pan-Somalism was taking root falls apart and stays that way until now. You Awdal-land, Somaliland, that Khatumo cluster-f*ck, Puntland, Al-Shabaab territories, regions that...

I respect this guy for depending Djibouti. I see way too much trashing of it here when Mogadishu's president can't step outta his house and Somaliland has the worse infrastructure possible. All those fucking stones dear god Hargeisa's still more bustling with business and opportunities though...

Okay I'm not gonna need you to explain what you mean? The Babille sub-clans of the Oromos? The woreda the Oromo region wants as its own is mostly Babille sub-clans with some Hawiye Karanle right?

I think what happened with my grandfather was he was from Karanle Hawiye - explaining why his brothers who stayed in Babile are not Oromo-fied and are still Somalis thru and thru. My grandfather settled more inwards and married his Oromo wife and he was then given a Afran Qallo lineage. But his...

Wait, so there are no Hawiye that were also absorbed by the Oromos into the Afran Qallo. Because when I met with my aunt - the one I was telling you about that's very Somali like despite not having grown as one bc of the culture still staying strong in her family - she said she met her relatives...

What about Afran Qallo Hawiye? What's their stance? I think that's my relatives on my dad's side, know nothing about them though other than they live in Babile and speak Somali

What happened to Afran Qalos dir?

Like I said, Ethiopans aren't like Somalis where you need proof in the form of abtiris to prove who you are. There are so many sheegatos who transitioned to identifying as Amhara from the Agaws and Oromos alone in the past 100 years who converted, changed their names, and then married an Amhara...
