Why do Somalis think they're mixed Yemeni?

[Bubbles]

It's common belief that all Somali have since forever...

But what Yemeni features do Somalis have? Somalis are tall, yemenis are short. Somalis have small narrow noses, Yemenis have long hooked noses, Somalis are not hairy like Yemenis.

Ethnic Somalis generally have <10% Yemeni ancestry, its overwhelmingly pre-Islamic but it's there.

A lot of Somalis are Somali-Ayrab, so it's no wonder some of these clans are calling themselves "[Insert Clan Name] Arab". If I have even 1% of Ayrab DNA, then I am going to off myself, and once I land in hell, I will fight all of those ayrabs.

It's usually self haters that do this, unless they're from the reer xamar/benadiri community, in that case it's different.

Bc nobody will care if you claim yemen. Its the shittiest arab country. Try claim uae or saudi and people will ask you proof for ur passport, parents pics etc
