How the hell? Sidee? Did your family get dropped off their by colonizers? Or are you barawani and Comorians took a boat to xamar or whatever.

Now that’s interesting. So do you think the Comoros was a place Somalis used to go to in the past?

I think it was common for Somali tradesmen to travel to Comoros. There's a reason why many parts of East Africa wear our traditional 'alindi' pattern for example

She’s told me there are other people in her city who are also of Somali ancestry, descending from Somali businessmen who have travelled there. There are also many in Madagascar as well. It seems to have been kind of a common thing in the past for Somali men to travel to the East African islands for business
