I have a few questions on Benadiri s and I hope those who know them or are from the Benadiri /Baraawe communities can shed some light on this
1. Are there any genetic studies on Benadiris and their ancestry? By phenotype many look like an average light skinned Somali, some look straight up Arabs while others show Bantu like features
2. What is the relationship between Benadiris and the Arabic language? I know reer Baraawe speak a Swahili dialect. Are there Any benadiris who speak Arabic as their native language?
3. What is the relationship between gibil madow Benadiris and cadcads? Do they intermarry or consider themselves to be one group?
4. What was the social status of pre war Benadiris? They often claim that they had lots of influence while also claiming to be heavily discriminated
5. Is true that Benadiris were specifically attacked during the civil war?
6. What relationship do Benadiris have with Siad Barre? Did they support him?
