Somali island inhabited by Bajuni people

The Bajuni principally inhabit the tiny Bajuni Islands in the Somali Sea. Many also traditionally reside in Kenya, mainly in Mombasa and other towns in that country's erstwhile Coast Province.[2][3]
The population's members trace their origins to diverse groups; primarily coastal Madow, descendants of free or enslaved Bantus. Additionally, they trace their origins to the Khoisanoid hunter-gather groups, as well as later arrivals such as Arab, Persian and Somali immigrants.[2] Some also have Malay and Indonesian ancestry.[4]
The Bajuni follow the laws of Islam to conduct their affairs. Almost all are Shafite Muslims. Their lives revolve around the mosque and daily prayer. In the course of saying five prayers a day, they also wash at least five times. Every Muslim parent insists on giving his child the basic Islamic education. A Muslim judge, or kadhi, handles the criminal and civil disputes of the community.
When a child is born, it is held up by the father, a friend, or a teacher, who recites the traditional call of prayer into its ear. From the moment of birth, the child is instructed in the basic teachings of Islam. Men are the working breadwinners. A woman's place among the Bajuni is usually within the home. She customarily leaves the house only to visit or to go to the market. Her visiting is done late in the afternoon when the housework is finished and the children are playing. The husbands like to gather at a men's meeting place or the mosque.[5]
The Bajuni are traditionally fishermen and sailors. Some also pursue other trades such as metalwork.[3]

They look bit unique ,i'd say some of them with their jileec hair look like watered down versions of aboriginals
Bajuni were never enslaved nor were a lot of the bantu or former bantu speaking groups in Somalia. Stop with the white propaganda bila aleq
They have little to no Somali genes, they like many other coastal swahilis have arab dna. Many don’t even speak any Somali
Even majority of Mushungli weren’t slaves, I don’t understand who edits English Wikipedia.
Slave taking was illegal north of cape Delgado, and the majority of jrweyne are not bantu at all! How would a Swahili people like Bajuns be enslaved?
Thank you! Why the hell would nomadic somsli people need thousands of slaves? Not to mention Madowweyne qabils live all throughout Ethiopia. They’ve always been pro Somalia. Even when that midget fucker and his predecessors said he would give them land to backstab other Somalis they refused. Does that sound like slaves to you?
The only slaves that existed were the Madowweyne without a qabil because they were under either Ajuran, silicis, Rahanwenweyne, abgal etc
It’s colonial propaganda. People like the Bajuni, and other non ethnics came to Somalia just like the other foreigners, for a better life, more opportunities etc. Bajuni were merchants and fisherman.
Jowhar was called Bulo Makanne before Abyssinians sacked it and built a pillar of skulls there. It’s usually diaspora losers who have no connection to Somalia who hate like that, they’re nationalistic patriots and are one of the most decent folks in Somalia.
Garaad diinle
Not all bajuun look like reer xamar or swahili but there are many who look somali. The reason is that the bajuuns are a collection of people that includes somalis. The somali found among the bajuuns are usually garre. The bulk of bajuuni population don't live in somalia but in neighbouring lamu and the kenyan coast at large.
Bajuuns in somalia.
Bajuuns in somalia.
