Why is their so many Mixed Somali sheegato???

[Angelina]

Idilnaa somalis and Yemenis are very different. And lot of people know the Somalis that live in their area. Somalis don’t intermarry with Yemeni anymore it was a thing 100 years ago.

Nah they still do. I'd say Yemeni and Somali is probably the most common mix that I don't even bat an eyelid and even though technically it is, I don't see it as a real interracial marriage/mix.

Whilst we are different, I know and i've seen a lot of tanned/dark Yemenis that can actually pass for Somali. I even had a friend who would be mistaken for Somali all the time and she was full Yemeni btw. Also, culturally we're rather similar.

 

[Aboow]

Somalis and yemenis are not very different at all. Are cultures are pretty similar and we share a religion. Please inform yourself , before you try to argue with someone.

And inividual Somalis and Yemeni still intermarry here and there. There is nothing to make a big deal about or exaggerate.

Honestly am not shocked when some Somalis say they are mixed with Yemeni. It actually happens loool especially in Djibouti. Somalis, mix with Yemenis, Oromos, and afar.

We actually are similar loool they assimilate very well.

 

[Idilinaa]

I used to be one of those people that believed a lot of them were just lying but i've seen half Yemenis who legit look Somali and I've seen their parents and know for certain their mum or dad is Yemeni. Also, Yemenis are pretty tanned with some being dark. I've seen full blooded Yemenis who can pass for Somali. I had a friend who would constantly be mistaken for Somali, yet as far as she knows she was 100% Yemeni.

That's exactly what i'm talking.

I have witnessed the exact same thing and thats why i am saying it.

I don’t where you live, but the only people who intermarry Yemeni I have ever met are the cadcads or ashraaf people. I am lander and we don’t intermarry with Yemenis. I know there are refugees that went there. What part of their culture are similar all I know the men and women chew qat.
All different ethnicity in the horn think they are better than the other. And there is nothing special about yemeni. Somali love to hype up everyone else but themselves caqli african. These Yemeni u are hyping up look down on you.

 

[Aurelian]

Everywhere I go there’s Somalis claiming to be mixed. The other day I was in a tiktok comment section and every other person was claiming to be half somali half balayo.
Somali/Kuwaiti
Somali/German
Somali/Dominican
Somali/Fulani
Somali/Senegalese
Somali/Cambodian
Somali/Korean
Somali/Mongolian
Somali/Japanese
Somali/Filipino
Somali/Italian
Somali and like evey other damn group.

Like what?! I’m on another site and the only other somali girl in my group is claiming to be half arab.

Am I the only one who noticed this?

Sxb in somaliland, somali women are marrying Yemeni qoxooti left and right.
So I don't agree with your statement.

Really because they couple of shades lighter, all because of social media. Somali iyo ajnabi jeceyl waxba kala haysta

Do you have comprehension issues. She never hyped them up. She merely said that Somalis frequently intermarry with them and they do. Also, a lot of full Yemenis can even pass as Somali, so of course if a Somali was to marry a tanned one, their kids will look Somali, albeit slightly semitic.

There is nothing to hype about when it comes to Yemenis. They're regular people and I find the Somali/Yemeni mix ridiculously common, so I don't even understand why anyone would think its worth bragging about.

Maybe because Yemeni provide and treat them good…… looool bitter

I doubt you are a reer Waaqoyi , (i'm a lander you say lool). You are probably an cadcad or ashraaf or whatever since love bringing them up and interjecting them.

The ones i have met are first generation individuals who's parents either met in the 70s or through business trips or in the western diaspora etc or was born an raised in Yemen prior to the civil (Alot of Somalis live in Yemen) but emigrated to the west , as well as the ones after the civil war. It's a mix bunch.

Culture extends beyond khat , which isn't wasn't really major thing at all amongst Somalis prior to the civil war.

The Somali shares with the Yemeni many aspects of material cultures as well as religious tradition . It is worthwhile to point out that the two people share the macawis ( Sarong ) the turban and kofiya headgear . There is even certain social and cultural values that they share as well. Somalis also pick up Arabic very easily which mitigates against communicational barrier differences and vice versa.

I would disagree every ethnicity is unique in their own way. One need not look down on the other to recognize to good in themselves. I also think majority of Somalis and Yemenis see eachother as socially equal, although prolly a few bigotted ones out there.

To be honest, the commonness of mixes depends on location. In the Somali Galbeed (Ethiopia) half Yemenis aren't common. In fact, nearly nonexistent. In Djibouti and Somalia proper that's a different story. There is a small amount in Northern Somalia/Somaliland but not a considerable number so he has a point. And everyone over there knows their neighbours heritage be they foreign admixed (i.e. Somalized Yemeni residents or even Indian). So there is no use lying about one's background. I have met Yemeni mixed Somalis that were darker. So it's no surprise but what's kind of funny is that some used to pretend to be something else as @Jacko said. And that was sad especially because it's a poor and now war-torn nation. Also, most of these Yemeni mixes aren't Northern Yemeni but Southern (likely with greater SSA admixtures).

Hmm you have a point. Very rarely have a met a Yemeni and Waqooyi/Galbeed mix. Usually the half Yemeni has a mother or father from the South. I know 50+ habayars who were born to merchant Yemeni fathers and ethnic Somali mother from Xamar.

They sound like troll acounts that are trolling, their comments are all over the place.

First was this inventive fiction of Somali girls all claiming to by half-yemenis in 2015 Minnesota because they saw a meme somewhere and now its fiction about Somali women marrying Yemeni refugees in droves in Somaliland. Which also isn't true because Yemenis bring their wives & husbands & families from reports i've seen. Even Somalis who were refugees in Yemen most don't marry Yemenis and brought their families husbands and wives.

Both groups are also still dominated by strict social norms of marrying within their own ethnicity, clan/tribe. Thats how much we are alike.

But you will have a few individuals here and there , both Somali/Yemeni men and women that are more open to it. And there is far less barriers aside from those social mores.

The Somalis who are partially Yemeni that I know probably had (1) family that might have lived in Yemen for a lengthy period of time (50-100 years) (2) Somalized Yemenis that speak entirely Somali and themselves could be heavily Somali admixed but paternally Yemeni (who live in places like Borama and Hargeisa) or (3) Reer Djibouti with recent mixture (mostly maternally).

I think people are misunderstanding. Somali mixes aren't common in a general sense from what i can tell. Somalis mostly marry within at a high rate this shows itself in many social studies on us.

But for the Somalis that deviate away from what the norm is, where they do end up marrying someone from another group, it's going to be with those near them most often. It's the same case around the world.

The whole lying about someones background by claiming you are half whatever is internet nonsense. Makes no sense to do that.

It's not internet nonsense. We've seen it in real life or else we wouldn't be reporting it. I have legitimately met Somalis claiming to be of partial Turkish descent. I sincerely felt secondhand embarrassed for them. It's even more farfetched than Yemeni.

The same chick saying this was bragging about being inbred from the same sub-sub-sub tol on both sides of her family for generations. Weird. Having thickly drawn-on eyebrows doesn't make her a Turk. Just a sad case of a Somali.

 

[Iceman88]

Aboow why are u giving me qashing, southern Yemenis are not even real Arabs stop twerking for Indians and xabashi slaves. Yemeni are disgusting people where they not trying to turn poor Somali women who fled there from the war into prostitutes, and that is the people you are hyping up today akhas

I think that girl was joking. You know how Somalis love trolling and joking around.

Or it could have just been a fun way of expressing her love dor Turkish people/culture not meant to be taken literal.
