"In their persons the Samaulies are neither Negroes nor Arabs. They have woolly hair, drawn out into points, in every direction, but their noses are not flat. They are finely limbed, with a very
dark skin, and beautifully white teeth. The expression of their countenance is neither fierce, nor unpleasing. I consulted several of the respectable merchants of Aden and Mocha, respecting the possibility of penetrating into the interior of Africa, by the cara-vans, which return from Berbera, and they uniformly agreed that, by securing the friendship of one of the Samauli chiefs, and
learning the language, an European might, in his own character, make the journey in safety. It would certainly however be more wise that he should pass for a Mussulmaun, but not for an Arab, a nation whom they detest."
Voyages and travels to India, Ceylon, the Red Sea, ... v. 2. Mountnorris, George Annesley, Earl of, 1769-1844.

Where did this Arab love come from? The early Somali hated Semites.
