Your grandmother isn’t proof enough. Most Somalis that live in the Arab world till this day and actually have the passports are usually Reer Isaaq and Dhulbahante and MJs. MJs and Dhulbahante literally live in Salaala in Oman as natives and I’m someone who has travelled to every Khaleeji country and lived in two. Most of the Somalis that have had a very long presence to such as extend they have passports due to living there Pre-1960s are all Northern Somalis, who are Isaaq, MJ especially in Oman and Dhulbahante and some Warsengelis. This isn’t even up for debate as historical books attest to this and even if you look at Arab Khaleeji countries in todays modern world. It’s Northerners with the strong presence with passports and I’ve met a few with passports. All Isaaq and Northern Darood.

True and I am not denying that. As I mentioned before, certain somali clans from the north did have a strong presence in Aden, mainly the Isaaq clan. Due to geographical proximity, Berbera and Aden had strong trade. My main point is that the Ashraf and Banu Qahtan had a significantly higher presence in Aden compared to the Northern clans. I am not immune from committing mistakes and errors. I am willing to retract my statements. I appreciate your respectful response

Can you show me proof? I’m not denying this since I can’t really know for certain it’s just that I haven’t ever read this and I’ve never really seen a lot of Reer Xamaris in the Arab world with a lot of history of being here as much as I’ve seen Northern Daroods and Isaaqs. I mean in Oman alone I saw Arabs with Darood lineage. That’s how long they’ve been there?True and I am not denying that.

Very fair points. I know many close Isaaq friends who reside in Dubai and they dominate the business sector. Even before the state collapse, many Somalis lived and worked in the UAE. They mainly hailed from the Isaaq clan. I appreciate your informative insight. Jazakallahu khair.
Basically we’re both Arabs
Yemenis are the native Arabs
And Somalis are immigrant Arabs
Most reer xamar and ashraf moved to Kenya and Tanzania during the civil war. Prior to the Civil War, many clans from the Benadir coast would regularly travel and settle in Yemen. There was a strong presence of benadiri clans hailing from the banu qathan, Ashraf and Reer Xamar clans in Aden. The presence of the Benadiri community in the gulf countries and other parts of the Arab world is very minimal. It's mostly hawiye, darood and Isaaq that reside in the gulf countries and do business there. I will post the source once I find it. Jazakallahu khair for your insightful and intellectual insight. I appreciate it.
Yes, same with Northern Daroods. I know Warsengili and Dhulbahantes whose grandfathers were born in the Yemen and the Khaleeji, but their fathers would send them back to the Meey at times so they don’t lose touch of their Somali origins. I even had a conversation about it with an old Northern Darood man who was like in his late 80s. Fascinating stuff. I reckon Northerners were going through famine or something, since you hardly ever see Southerners moving to the Arab world during that time period and before.

May Allah forgive you for speaking about my grandmother like that. Please don't bring family into this conversation. May Allah truly forgive and not punish you.Your grandmother was raised in Gondar and never met a Benadiri in her life
He is wrong for insulting your grandmother like that. My grandmother is also from Aden, a native of Yafa’i descent. She married my grandfather a Somali man.
I’m gonna entertain your xaarposting just this once. Benadiris didn’t even identify as Somali a decade ago.

Everything unuka leh
Banadiris had religious and trade ties with yemen since antiquity?!
Wallahi you're a retard
Share sources next time, banadiri identity didn't even exist "since antiquity", Also the known sailors of Banaadiris Are Reer maanyo gibil madow not gibil cad
No they didnt, benadiri were barely 10,000 and your telling me there were more then 2000 in yemen, stop with your lies.

How are current Somalis Arabs when they can't comeup with single useful Arabic sentence? HSM already alongside Farmajo embarrassed us in Arab world stage where they had to converse with their Arab counterparts in English
