How? Eritrea has over 8 ethnic groupsEritrea and Djibouti are racially the most homogeneous countries in Africa.
Also dijabouti consist of afaars and Somalis that is not homogenous at allHow? Eritrea has over 8 ethnic groups
The most successful African countries happen to be the most diverse. Wouldn't you want to be from a country where you can't communicate with half of the population or live in a neighborhood with families from a dozen different ethnicities? Let's replicate that for best practices.
They use European languages or the language of the most advanced tribe.
My fob Nigerian friend can't speak his tribal language.
I've heard this is quite common among the Nigerians and Ghanaians.
Some of those Nigerian languages like Yoruba, Ibo, Hausa are one of the biggest languages in Africa by number of speakers. Nigeria is massively overpopulated. They have gazillions of people.
Somalia is 85% Somali, even England is 90%+ English, we need to catch up
Whenever I meet a new West African, I type their first name on Google to see what tribe they are from.
To my surprise, the most I met are langaab for Ghanaian/Nigerian standards.
Imagine if Somalis can figure out your clan by just knowing your name.
Well you need Islam for thatThat's because our country is smaller than it's supposed to be. Our nomadism made us an expansionist people. We conquered most the horn when our population probably didn't exceed 5 million. If colonials didn't come, we could've conquered most of East Africa by now. If our tribes had all united, we could also conquer the Xabashis with little effort.
CoolInteresting fact, the Hausa of Nigeria have the same abtiris as the Irish (R1b). Weird as hell.
Cool
And the Fulani of Nigeria are apparently up to 40% Berber by autosomal ancestry, but they don't speak an AfroAsiatic language.
Nigeria has some unexpected genetic differences.
Fulani are interesting. The have the highest levels of T1 haplogroup in Africa, outside of Somalia. But their language is Niger-Congo.
They must've been Niger-Congoised like the South-Cushitic speakers were bantuised in East Africa.
The deserts in the sahara is starting to turn green again bit by bit.Only the ones around Lake Chad have high T1, due to some kind of random local drift effect. The ones further west don't have any T1 or practically none, but still have similar autosomals.
I think the Fulani came from the Green Sahara period. They bordered the Berbers probably and traded with them, but once the Sahara got dry they were pushed into Senegambia and then in the Middle Ages spread over the Sahel eastwards as they got horses.
It is true no joke, but it is turning green in a very small rateIf the Sahara was still green today, imagine the scope of the refugee crisis. Africans could hike to Europe.
