Good looks, beautiful enormous geographically diverse country, from deserts and (clean!!) rivers to lush mountains and the best seaside in the world, beautiful cultural clothing that everyone wants, our food looks rich history with some of the oldest civilisations in Africa and the best cities in Sub Saharan Africa bar none, our good looks, our bravery, our poetry and literature, our music, our food, our good looks etc…

Somali mothers kindness and love
Somali loyalty’s to religion that’s downstream from the mothers sincerity
And Somali leniency towards women

tbh i dont love nor hate it im just neutral since i didnt choose what I was born as nor did anyone else.

If i had to say 1 thing it would be Islam. I can confidently say im so braindead that I wouldnt have found islam if i was a non Muslim. Alhamdulillah im a believer

The community, sadly I'm not around them all that much besides social media.

Im sooo glad we’re not like Ethiopians or Sudanis imagine others branding your ethnic group/ land

both ethiopais and sudanis taken on a name thats insulting, ethiopian means burnt face in greek and sudani means blacky in arabic. No self-respect

I love Somali music. Mainly older songs, none of that sharma boy crap

@Saleh what about you? I assume it's the women for you too?

We definitely have ANF, even outside of our Arabian ancestry. It’s just being muddied by how G25 has a hard-on for Natufian in pretty much all groups with significant ANA like us and Arabians.

Horner mtDNA at the very least makes it plain there’s something Anatolian at play. We also wouldn’t fit so well with that Old Kingdom sample in those models I’ve seen y’all throw around if we lacked it.

I’ve knocked it many a time for good reasons but in this respect I have to say that qpAdm is probably in the right for skewing us more toward Neolithic Levantines and other such later samples.

Think I'm in the same camp brah. It's good to play devil's advocate on a forum like this

@Saleh what about you? I assume it's the women for you too?

my wife is the furthest thing from Somali. You know this

It is really an honor from the creator himself to grant us a place among the children of Adam as distinct group of people bestowed with a language and heritage that existed and will exist inshallah for generations. Somali is a gift from Allah and anyone who says otherwise or speaks ill picks a fight with Allah almighty, the King of All kings, the giver of life and death.

SOMALI= Greatness.

 

[Saleh]

Somali food is quite delicious
