Every Suldaan in Somalia must take a DNA test.

Thank god.
No more 35% Middle Eastern or Bantu bullshit.

That's Ancestry DNA and they haven't changed.The only East African reference population is S.E Bantu, which isn't purely East African but rather an admixture of West, East and Central African. A very poor reference group to Horn of Africans, as they have no West-Central African to speak of unless we're speaking of outliers.

I emailed 23andme to add somaliland because we somalilanders are real blooded Somalis and we don't share any DNA with Somalians.
They stole our language , they stole our culture , they stole our names, they stole our religion , they stole our food now they want to steal our country .Alle ha naga ilaaliyo dadka Soomaalia

Fix up 23AndMe.
