Rendilles in Modern Clothes

[911]

The 1st, 3rd, 12th and 13th look Somali

 

[Apollo]

They mostly look more Xabesha than Somalia, tbh.

Somali women without hijab often look pseudo-Habesha because we are too used to seeing Somali women only wearing hijab. My two suugo cents.

Some more (Rendille):

How many of you understand Somali well? Personally I'm not going to pretend that I knew a lot about them until recently. I've heard Oromo/Afar spoken in person. Both of these languages do sound a bit like Somali - but largely that's the extent of it. But the first time I heard Rendille language was when some clips were posted in another thread here, and that really caught me off guard. I couldn't make out most of the words, but I understood enough to make out the crux of the story! I can't do that for Oromo/Afar or even some of the languages spoken in Somalia!

You can't look like Somalia. Somalia is a country, not a person.

Waryaa, you knew what I meant.

Some maybe, but for the most part the two peoples are quite distinguishable.

You can clearly tell this women is xabesha even with a hijab. I don't know how I can personally tell, but I just can.

[Dalmoor]

My Somali radar says these are the only ones that look like a "Somali"

Typical faarax

The speaker at that summit is kinda lying on the religion part. Most evidence is that they never were Muslim. Islam was weak in that region (they had Waaq traditional faiths mixed in with Maa faith borrowings), even many Borana Oromos from Kenya weren't Muslim until very recently in that area.

It's that unsightly semitic look. Something in their nose and facial bone structure. Indians have it as well.

Yeah habeshas look nothing like us and can never be confused for each other, but 2 of these rendiles looks Somali

 

[Prince Abubu]

NGL, they look very Xabashi/Oromo to me. I wouldn't mistake them for Somalis.

 

[Vanessa]

That guy looks like my uncle

 

[Vanessa]

Same build as well

The first and last one don’t look Somali at all, the first guy looks like a pure habesha just darker, if he was lighter he’d look like haillie sellasi, that girl looks zero percent Somali only the two pics in the middle look Somali

they do look somali but as a somali every single one of them inculding the first one
they just dont have the forhead or headshape that somalis have

but you are aware that somalis come from cushitic peoples just like the rendille from which the habesha agaws descend from as well they later adopted semetic from yemen

their probably is no somali race or habesha race all collectively part of the cushitic peoples
