Is it me or are the Somali and Egyptian accents similar?

When speaking English, I generally notice that Somalis and Egyptians have similar accents.

They’re not the same but similar enough to each other.

Hmm, not really, I can tell the difference.

Egyptians put a lot of emphasis on zzeezz that Somali fobs don't.

Somali fobs also pronounce the letter i in English words in a strange way (shortened).

Somali's and Dinka and Eritreans have similar accent when they speak English.

Im not saying they’re the same, I can tell both accents apart but they’re weirdly similar.

Probably most Afro-Asiatic fobs (including Hausa) have a similar accent in English.

Except Israelis.. their accent in English is really obviously Israeli.

yeah I noticed that too, it's not exactly the same but it's weirdly similar ,I'll even say it's a lot similar to somali FoBs than it is to other arab FoBs.
