Do you consider Somalis to be Afro Arab or just African?

[Giftxo]

The Swahili coast, Sudan and The Habeshas are considered to be Afro-Arabs. But there’s always a debate about somalis being Afro Arab or just Africans.

what’s your view on this? Are we Afro Arabs or just Africans

 

[Giftxo]

+ even Djibouti is considered to be Afro Arab (while they are majorly Somalis and Afars)

 

[BlackJack]

Most Afro Arabs have no genetic relations to Arabs and are just Arabized. I really don’t feel like Somalis are Arabized since we speak or own language and distinct culture. personally I would answer no, but you can identify with whatever you want.

Africans. We are not afro-arabs. We are cushitic with some arab daddy lineages. If arab mixes with us, they become somali-arabs. We don't become arabs.

Every pro SL have this vibe of trying to distance themselves as much as possible from Southerners. Like this dude.

Lmao I remember one guy on twitter saying Landers should adopt Arabic as their primary language to differentiate themselves from the negroes down south .

Wouldn’t they just get rid of their mother tongue and cultures to get validation from another ethnic group? That’s self hate man

Cushite Africans

 

[GemState]

Less than 5% of Somalis speak Arabic, if we're Afro-Arabs, we're pretty retarded

So no, we're just Africans

 

[Bronco]

African because it's a geographical demonym and Somalia is located in Africa. I do not consider us Arabs at all, but we are culturally adjacent.

I do not think there is anyway to justify Somalis not being African without being geographically illiterate, potentially deficient and/or uninformed.

[MrReckless]

Somalis don’t even speak Arabic, how can we identify as Afro-Arabs? Just because we’re 99% Muslims doesn’t mean we have to be Arab

 

[Apollo]

African is not a race.

Africa has various races. Not just Negroids.

And Somalis are not Afro-Arabs.

The Swahili coast, Sudan and The Habeshas are considered to be Afro-Arabs. But there’s always a debate about somalis being Afro Arab or just Africans.

Orthodox Christian Habeshas (most of them) do not identify with Arabs whatsoever. They have their own culture and identity. Afro-Arab = Islamic.

 

[Somali Hannibal]

We are 100% African. f*ck being an Arab and any somali who claims to be arab shall be hang
