@Molotoff is this true? I met one today who lives on my street. He told me his ancestors came from Bosnia and they are a tribe. He looked mixed Somali and Arab but has blue eyes. What are they doing in Africa?

Bosnians were not Mamluk slave soldiers.

it was the Ottomans not the Mamluks.

The Muhammad Ali dynasty was the ruling dynasty of Egypt and Sudan from the 19th to the mid-20th century. It is named after its progenitor, Muhammad Ali Pasha, regarded as the founder of modern Egypt.

Mohammed Ali Pasha was an Albanian.
He was the Governor of Egypt but he rebelled against the Ottomans and almost defeated them .
There are alot of Egyptians of Balkan and Turkish ancestry

Bushnak (Arabic: بشناق‎, meaning "Bosnian" or "Bosniak", also transliterated Bushnaq, Boshnak and Bouchnak) is a surname common among Levantines of Bosniak origin.[1][2] Those sharing this surname are the descendants of Bosniaks apprehensive of living under Christian rule after the Austro-Hungarian occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878, who emigrated to Ottoman Syria.

While not originally from one family, most Bosniaks who emigrated to the Levant adopted Bushnak as a common surname, attesting to their origins. Bushnak is also used colloquially among Palestinians to refer to someone who is fair-skinned and good looking.

Some Bosnian movement to Palestine occurred when Bosniak soldiers were brought to Palestine in the late 1800s to provide reinforcements for the Ottoman army.[1]

More substantial movement occurred after 1878, when the Austro-Hungarian empire, ruled by the House of Habsburg, occupied Bosnia. Bosniak emigration continued through this period, escalating after the Austro-Hungarian's 1908 annexation of Bosnia. Many emigrated to parts of what is now modern Turkey, while a smaller number settled in Ottoman Syria (modern Syria, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan).

Bosnian emigrants settled predominantly in villages in the parts of the present day West Bank and Israel: Caesarea, Yanun, Nablus and Tulkarem. Their descendants still live in these villages, their Bosnian heritage reflected in the Arab surname of Bushnak.[1][2]

The Bosnian Muslim immigrants who settled in Caesarea in 1878 built two mosques, joining other Muslim immigrants from Morocco, Algeria, Crimea, the Caucasus, and Turkestan. These Slavic speaking immigrants eventually assimilated into the local Arab population.

I heard a lot of Eastern European Muslims like Bosniaks and Albanians moved to Arab countries when communism first took over. Sheikh Albaani May Allah be pleased with him moved to Syria as a child in the 1910's is one such example.

Communism took over in 1945.

Ah okay then, they must have moved for other reasons. Maybe there was growing secularism then?
