Yes, they get 100% Somali on 23andme. As they arrived a long time ago.
It's not, Somali have it at ~10%
Is yemen a potential enemy?

Historically, it's not ours, which is really strange considering how close we are to it, but if we become a strong country we can annex it and make it independent while respecting their language and culture, building infrastructure for them and giving them some benefits. . If they accept that, the Yemenis will not do anything, because in the end they are the ones who accepted that, and the Somalis living there will not be affected
I meant globally, at what percent does it occur among socotrans
Not sure but the Somali N1a isn't closely related to the variety from south Arabia

It's geographically in the Somali sphere more so than Yemen. The inhabitants, on the other hand, were southern Arabians from eastern modern Yemen and western modern Dhofar, related to Hadramis and Shehri speakers -- probably a direct in-between those variations. The island was controlled by ancient Hadramawt back in antiquity.
Somalis, at most, were traders on the coast, similar to all other traders like the Parthians, Greeks, Axumites, Indians, etc -- who did not influence meaningfully the inland indigenous inhabitant's gene pool.
What claims do Somalis actually have to socotra aside from proximity?
Are there any documented contacts between us and socotrans?

I'm not sure about any written evidence. But I am pretty sure that Somali traders were there since it was a trading destination, and there was high traffic in the broader region.

Yes in 1270 AD Harti fisherman were the first ones to settle on socotra.
I would go further that's basic sxb.I would be like Putin speaking about historical claims to Socotra and galbeed if I were president
"Somalia's statehood goes back to the Mogadishu Sultanate founded in 925AD.
It's a kingdom which founded cities like sofala in Mozambique and ruled Northern Madagascar as well as the Said of Mogadishu taking and converting Maldives. These are all essential parts of the Somali realm."
"Abyssinia is a long dead kingdom and in it's wake is a British client state created post 1860s, a multicultural state called Ethiopia.
Somalis however, have a historic claim to the kingdom as Imam ahmad officially became the ruler of Abyssinia circa 1541. Therefore ethiopia, Eritrea is rightful parts of Somali realm."
Socotra belongs to Yemen. Genetically they have lower African ancestry than even Yemenis, plus they speak a South Semitic language.
It's not xoog simply because it's their land and therefore that exclusive economic zone rightfully belongs to them.
Being closer to Somalia doesn't mean anything. If you want Socotra then go back and ask Somalis to migrate there a few centuries ago.

The international community has given parts of the disputed territories to both Yemen and Eritrea.
Eritrea owns huge territory in the Redsea because Eritrea has many islands. (Above 300 including parts of the hanish islands)
but one must also admit that Yemen also does violate the international borders of its neighbors when their fisherman cross Eritrean seas to fish in Eritrea‘s waters like they do in Somalia.
Or when Houthis shoot rockets at international cargos when they are crossing Djibouti‘s and Eritrea‘s side of the Bab Al Mandeb

We kinda did
If Yemen takes the island then it blocks our sea
And it doesn’t belong to Yemenis or Arab nations
It’s either they independent or it’s under our rule
