Can Chadians,Zanzibaris and Comorians be considered Afro Arabs?

[Osiris1]

Ok, we are Afro-Arab through shared interests, geographical proximity and religion marka. Socio-economically, we are more Arab than the real Arabs.

Huh?

It's okay bro if you're Dir you are actually Arab. I hope you are Dir so you can enjoy the perks of being from this blessed ethnicity

We can't be more Arab then the 'real' arabs if we are also Arab Akhi.

In the past being Arab was being apart of tribes that lived in the Peninsula, overtime that changed similar to how being Roman was from Rome by the time you reach to the time of the Prophet being called Roman, is just being a person from the Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire). Identities change as they expand, which was common amongst the Arabs, Hans, Romans, Carthaginians, Greeks and Persians.

I can even make the claim that Yemenis by origins were not Arab but rather of Sabaean Identity, even their inscriptions made a distinction between themselves (Saba'i, Dhu Raydani, Hadramawti) and the 3arab'ti (Bedouins) who most likely came from North-Western Arabia aka Modern day Jordan.

What is that? The results of random Somali doesn't concern me. I'm Afro-Arab.

That is a fact. The people of the ancient kingdoms of south Arabia, Saba, Ma'in, Qataban and Hadrawat were not Arabs in any sense and would've not appreciated being identified as such. They were Arabized after the birth of Islam.

I agree with all that you've said; I'm just not a fan of any of the Arab groups in that region. The Zaghawa and Masalit seem to be more Nilo-Saharan than the Toubou and those are the groups I'm referring to when I point out that Chad is mostly Nilo-Saharan.

The Baggara are certainly not indigenous to Chad-Darfur; the Baggara arrived in Darfur in the 14th and 18th Centuries.

zaghawa in chad have eurasian admixture like 15% in average and you right. Baggara can up like 50% arab admixture speiclaly the mlisseriya or Mahamid in chad they look very arab not nilotic at all
