Arab tribes of Somalia

[Haragwafi]

Btw, the Meheri-Harti link isn't just in Somalia. In Oman, we have Harti people that have been Arabised, as they live and intermarry with Meheri and other Proto-Semitic clans.

Unfortunately, these Hartis think they are also originally Arab Somali (they believe the Daarood is Arab myth).

They have names like Al-Siwaaqroon, AlDashishe, Al-Bahante (Dhulbahante) etc. etc.
Imagine having a name with WAAQ in it, and thinking you are originally Arab.



Look here:

Al-Siwaaqroon Wedding.

Siwaaqroon wedding in Oman.

Well they changed the pronunciation of the the middle part Siwaaqroon to Siwaakhron making it sound more Arabic and not a foreign word.

Somalis in the Gulf are generally more integrated in the local Arab society that many of them don't speak Somali at all like I have a Saudi Somali relative who's in his 50s doesn't know the language

Mehris kinda look Somali from a distance

They have dark skin and look like black Arabs, but still different from black cushitic Somalis, Mehris are like Black Semetics and many Ancient Arabs looked like that

Maybe original Darod ancestor looked like them, if he married a Somali female, kids would still look Somali like Darods today

I am an Arab Somali also

The Arab Salahs I met irl actually looked Arab and didn't identify as Somali. From my experience they claim Yemen not Somalia.

Just to correct myself, I was mistaken here. I actually met Arab Somalis (assimilated Arabs who have recent Yemeni parentage) and not Carab Saalax who integrated into Somali society for generations and are considered Somali today.

They live in Galmudug, Southern Galkayo and Dhuusomareb, they even had representations in the GM parliament before Farmajo took their Kursi in 2020.

When did they leave puntland and spread out, I thought they only stayed in Mj territory......I'm ask my family and see what they say
