Bantus aren't indigenous to Somalia. Historically, they came to Somalia as slaves and they pose a demographic threat. As Somalis continue to kill each other, Bantus are having children in big numbers and are expanding. Their population is growing at a fast rate and has grown the fastest throughout history. The more their population grows, the more they gain confidence to challenge ethnic Somalis. For example, in Afgooye where Bantus and Abgaal sometimes clash or in Jilib where they make up half the town's population and join Al Shabaab in big numbers. We are even getting to the stage where Bantus are claiming that they are the true natives of Somalia and the "Lamagoodle" are Arab invaders who took their lands.
