I don't think this tiny percentage is from the Bari slave trade at all.. I believe the Bari slave trade was late 1800s?
If it was from recent slave trade, which was 2 to 3 generations ago maximum; the percentage of Bantu would have been much, much higher in the double digits at least... this would be great-grandmother or even grandmother and @Arma would have known the name of that maternal ancestor.
Northerners usually never get that, the most foreign DNA they get is usually Ethiopian or Yemeni.
I remember reading Arma's mother is Degodi and this is a Proto-Samaale clan that lives in Kenya.

What are you taking about. This has nothing to do with ancient dna.

It is not from his reer Bari side. I am connected to hundreds of people from the Northeast / Bari on 23andMe and not a single one has Southeast African.
Almost certain it is from his Degoodi / Degodia side of the family. His mother might be 4% Southeast African, but weirdly enough the other few Degoodis I saw on 23andMe didn't. I think only had 1%.
Well it’s surprising because Somalis will rarely get that.

It’s obviously from your Degodiya reer abti. Every other Puntite who’s taken the test on this forum is 100% Somali.
100% SomaliAny Arab ancestry??
Maybe a single intermarriage between a Degoodi and a Bantu Kenyan or a Masai
He’s MJ from Southern Somalia with a Kenyan-Somali mother.
There goes our proud 100% record
