"There is an ongoing civil war in Somalia. It started in the 1980s, and in the early 1990s, it got so bad that the country was deemed a “failed state” due to the absence of a central government. The United Nations attempted to intervene, but by 1995, it withdrew.

By 2000, a transitional national government was installed and a resolution seemed on the horizon. In 2005, the stoppage in conflict ended and the war intensified.

Mahdi’s father is from Somalia, his mother was from Kenya. The Mahdis had to flee Somalia due to the war and ended up in a refugee camp in the bordering Kenya."

Dad is from Somalia. He's Somali bantu

 

[Chaseyourdreamzz]

I saw him on social media a couple months ago inshallah he does well

 

[Chaseyourdreamzz]

I think he’s full Somali Bantu theres a lot of Somali Bantus in America

 

[AraragiKoyomi]

I think he’s full Somali Bantu a lot of Somali Bantus in America

Hate they put the kenyan label on him.

 

[Chaseyourdreamzz]

Hate they put the kenyan label on him.

Kenyans were also claiming a Somali Bantu soccer star because he was born in the camps the guy plays for the Somali national team alx they want to claim all successful Somalis born in Kenya

We've had a few Somali bantus in the MLS so far and even two playing in Europe I believe.
Now we got this guy balling out in college.

It's a small sample size but I'm starting to think Somali bantu families aren't as bothered by letting their kids participate in sports.


I remember finding an old article a few years ago about a Somali bantu majority soccer team doing well in maine.

They won a state title. You won't be seeing stories like this in Minnesota or Ohio.

His mom is Kenyan. He also reps the Kenyan flag on his ig.

I'm not really bothered by this. Seems better for him in the long run to rep his Kenyan side. Somalis in the diaspora are a bit more racist than the ones back home that are use to seeing bantus.

Somalis in America are used to seeing Bantus except for Minnesota it’s the ones from Europe who have no idea about them

i see I mean if he’s half Kenyan I have no problem with him repping his Kenyan side but he should hold it down for Somalia as well claim both there’s more Somalis in the states then Kenyans hed get big support

I already know us Americans will f*ck with him heavy. The only thing I'm worried about is the abuse he would get from the British and European somalis.

Those guys turn into full fledged Nazis whenever they see a Somali bantu person on social media.

I'm glad he would get support from U.S Somalis, but why do you think the British would hate?

1.The Somali bantu community in Europe is non existent. Like 99% of the ones living in the west are in america.

2. British somalis are the main ones that have beefed with Madows irl and online. They're the main ones that attack Somali bantus online for repping their Somali side

Lack of patriotism. Also second generation bantus cant even speak Somali. The only true wadanis are those living in Somalia. There is also the Somalis with yemeni heritage. They will claim yemeni and that is that.

 

[Kisame]

Imma start spamming Texas state in NCAA 25 . Buddy got an 89 overall.

A lot of them are patriotic but they still get hit with racism

 

[berberaboy66]

Is he a confirmed Somali Bantu? To be honest he looks biracial.
