Lost Somalis?

[Soconmayso Jirjirooni]

Who are these Somali lookalikes wearing Dirac and Garbosaar? I'm pretty sure they're Cushitic by their looks and their clothing as Dirac is predominantly of the Cushitic tradition, but from where exactly?.
Not from the horn by the sheltering style in the background, most likely from Chad or Sudan, thats my guess.

egyptians

They look clearly very distinct from Somalis. I'd guess its the saho people from Eritrea.

They are probably garre

I've Google searched the picture and the results comes up with Sudanese. There's obviously Cushites that live in Sudan. I think that answers the question

Yep that was guess, thanks bro! They're Bejas?
One more question is what race are the Sudanese people? they're most def not Arab but Arabized sheegato. And what language did they speak before they got Arabized? Most likely a Cushitic one.
@Nilotic might have the answer to this

I think @Apollo could answer it much better than me as he's an expert. But my brief understanding is Sudanese are ethnically diverse. Predominantly they're Arabized Africans.

You're right they probably spoke a Cushitic-Nilo Saharan language.

They're Nubian, some more from the same photographer:

Sudan

10 weeks on a salvage excavation in northern Sudan in 2005/06. The Sudanese government was constructing the Merowe High Dam at the Fourth Cataract of the Nile which would create a reservoir lake stretching 174km upstream and displacing an estimated 60,000 people from their lands. The majority of...

It's from northern Sudan from 2005/06. Those people got relocated because of a dam in Meroe. Now the historical living area the people captured in the photo inhabited is underwater.

The people from your picture are Cushitic -- the Manasir, specifically Arab-identifying Beja.

Further, some pictures from the link for more proof showing the type of housing as before the flood pictures:

And the same general area of Gebel Musa:

Here is another link of the same, but greater Manasir area, where you can see Nubians and Sudanese Arabs as well:

Dar al-Manasir 2005

These photos are part of the scientific effort of the salvage archaeologist team of H.U.N.E. to document the Sudanese Arab tribe of the Manasir. Their homeland and cultural landscape 'Dar al-Manasir' is situated at the Fourth Cararact of the River Nile in Sudan and currently submerged by the...

There were desertic pastoralists of Bisharin (Nile agriculturalist as well; symbiotic economic dynamic) origin inhabiting the Bayuda Desert that had relationships with the sedentary settlers (also Arab-identifying Cushites I mentioned above, Sudanese Arabs and Nubians), forming a dynamic interdependence that got no post-dam compensation (pastoralists) after the destruction. It's shitty that the beautiful place experienced flooding, resulting in disconnected relocation placements for the beautiful people that lived a beautiful way of life. Not to forget the anthropological richness that will not be uncovered.

We should move this to the Culture & History section.

Thank you for sharing, I've considered the Manasir to be an extension of the Shaigiya tribe.

The dam was devasting but led to some positives for the region. Many developments were built following its completion such as a major hospital.

Whether or not it was worth losing so much anthropological richness is another story. Thankfully the government cancelled future dam projects in the region for solar.
