Paper claims there's Bantu DNA in southern Somalis

[SuperBantuWeyne]

Kikiyus are about 35 % Cushitic on average. But those Somali bantu samples look like they cluster near the lower end of the Kikiyu samples which is why they appear to be around 30 %.

Where do you think a half Tikar (or Yoruba) half somali would plots in the PCA I posted? Because the Sanye (cushitic) above Kikuyus is already closer to Somalis than to unadmixed Niger-Congo by a margin. If they were a direct mix of these two populations, they would be 65%somali 35%West african

This chart shows different components. Blue is a European like component, Red is a Bantu like component, green is Arab/middle eastern and Yellow is Nilotic like
Apparently the paper distinguishes southern and northern Somalis. Southern Somalis have as you can see a big noticeable red part which should be Bantu like ancestry.
Is this accurate at all?
Also even with northern Somalis our Nilotic is huge, we are significantly more "madow" than Habesha and Oromo, I thought the difference was just 5%ish less Eurasian

Lol no way any ethnic Somalis cluster with Kenyans, those samples are probably Somali Bantus. Somalis as a whole are very genetically homogenous. We also aren't much more madow than other Horners since the difference comes at 5-10% at best compared to some groups. Wolayta for example have more Dinka like ancestry than us.

Not to mention that somalis are one of the most Cushitic groups in the horn with only about 35% West eurasian blood whilst you have habesha who reach up with 50%
We are a homogenous people so I believe that the people behind the study have an agenda/or biased

There is, of course, an Arab genetic influence in the north and a Bantu genetic influence in the south, especially among farmers who do not have a problem with marrying a Bantu like the Nomads
This is why an Arab haplogroup spread in northern T-l208,e-v22,e-m123 j-p56
and Bantu in southern Somalia like e-m2 and e-m293
