Love the vibes, but why the hell are their Indians

It's like asking why there are blacks in Chicago, Indians were flooding east Africa for centuries

Indians and foreigners were always a minority in Xamar and other regions.

 

[convincation]

Everyone talking about the indians I’m thinking why so many people in their look bantu. We’re there bantus in xamar that earky on I thought back then they were still on fields

 

[Cerberus]

That was Mogadishu? Wow that place looked good. Lots of diversity there too.

 

[Cerberus]

I see alot of Indian and bantu looking people. I guess mogadishu was never truly somali and always diverse

Some of them mixed with Somalis and that's why we see +5% Indian DNA in Some Somalis

I've seen a similar dance like that guy in 0:27 from Yemenis where they do erratic moves while holding their heads.

you shoudn't have shared that. i fell down a rabbit hole. if i didn't have a type before i have one now

 

[codewebsduh]

Unfortunently Somalia now is filled with explosive extremists. We lost our culture and replaced colourful clothes with mono-coloured Arabian hijabs , khamis and western clothes.

I'm not disagreeing with your point, but Black people are also a minority in Chicago, too. They're orginally from the south and moved there in the 20th century to get jobs in factories.

 

[Mr Sufi]

With all these Indians and they been their since 1331 do you think a lot of somalis are mixed with them hence why some of us Look Indian

 

[Mr Sufi]

I know that some shanshis are indian/arab mix but I never heard of a full fledged Indian qabil living on Somali soil. Your dad could be confusing reer Xamars as Indians

They been living among us since 1313 ibn Battuta said so

So you judge the entire ethnic make up of a city from one video? Mogadishu had somalis,arabs,indians and italians in that period it was a very diverse city but it's kinda like saying all of new york is black because you saw some black people

The indians were merchants they also had small communities in the North.

The majority was always ethnic Somalis.

 

[Som]

The majority was always ethnic Somalis.

Yes. But i think I read somewhere that during the coloniale period italian settlers were almost 30%. Majority was always somali , followed by benadiri somalis, arabs and Indians.
Many indians and arabs were also not permanent residents, they would come to trade and sometimes go back to their lands

You said it was never truly somali, kinda like saying NYC was never truly american. You know those benadiri mixed somali- arabs are also somali...

Somalis were very dark back then we used to wear those white clothes

its just the western weather is making us light skin
