People don't understand ethnicity. People are using quick definitions but that isn't the real definition. The definition of ethnicity is common folklore, ancestory, language, history, culture, nation, religion etc.
Now to get to my point. Oromos are not the same ethnic group as amhara. Afar are not the same ethnic group as Tigray. Tibetan is not the same ethnic group as Mongol. These groups are separate but live in the same country. Oromos, Amharas, Afars, Tigrays are all Ethiopian but are separate ethnic groups. Tibetan and Mongol both live in China but are different ethnic groups.
Somalia is confusing. Somalis nationality name is somali. But there is also an ethnic group called somali. Ethnic Somalis live indigenously in NFD, Somali galbeed and Djibouti. But Somali nationals only live in Somalia.
There are other ethnic groups in Somalia. Somali nationals. People who are somali by nationality but are there own ethnic group. They have separate ancestors and have languages unique to them. They are considered a separate ethnic group to somalis. These groups are Somali national so they have claim to the country Somalia but are there own ethnic groups. Barwani, Bajuni, and Somali-Bantu.
Barwani is its own ethnic group because of unique history, ancestors and Common language that they speak. Bajuni are also its own ethnic group because of common ancestors and separate language spoken. Somali-Bantu majority speak somali but have a separate unique history and ancestors and are considered a minority ethnic group in Somalia. These groups are not ethnic somali but Somali nationals, groups who have their own ethnicity, ancestors, history and languages. They are somali.

). Likewise, you can be an ethnic Somali and a Somali citizen.
