The arabs we are related to are the sudan or the dawasir(small pocket of nomadic black arabs in the levant)We definitely resemble Arabs more than blacks when it comes to our features. That’s why it perplexes me when blacks try claiming us. We are genetically, phenotypically, and even culturally closer to Arabs than we are to Bantus.
Not that I claim ayrab or anything. I can acknowledge that North Africans and Arabs are our closest cousins. Unfortunately.

Research the ottoman mamluks and seljuks. Egypt, sudan, absynnia, yemen nejd hijaz were all put under "black zone" just 600 years ago by ibn khaldun. He called the people excessively black. Then moderate zone he included north africa iraq syria(they began mixing with persians and spanish respectatively at the begining of islam). But the reason why egypt yemen hijaz nejd is still much darker than syrians is because the mamluk invasion didnt happen until 500 years ago. Reasearch the mamluks in yemen.
