Someone understand me why they don't want to be labeled as a tribe but as an ethnic group, I don't understand why when they are already recognized as one, I thought they were just like ethnic Somalis in Ethiopia?

Are you fr?Is Oromo an ethnic group?
Are you fr?
Not Bantu, but Omotic.Yes and no. They have a lot more variation in their appearance than Somalis do. They have various mixes depending on their geography. Some look more Bantu others look more Somali, a few even look more Habesha.
Oromos are basically Somalis that have lost their identities during the course of time.
I heard the western and northern Somalis have Oromo genes in them, is that true adeer?
