Somalis being murdered in London

I’ve been keeping an eye out on the stats, I saw this one pretty recently.


Picture of the victim in the article. First of all AUN and prayers and thoughts to his family.

Kids called Mohammed Adam Abdi, very somali name but doesn’t really look it. Doesn’t even look like an cadcad either. Does anybody know anything about him?

@Riftvalley

I don’t think there are other communities with the surname Abdi and the killer sounds like a Farax as well “ Awad Abdel Samad”. Cawad?

AUN.

the killer name does not sound somali at all. All three names sound reer xamaar or eritrean muslim.

I consider reer xamar Somalis. Awad as in Cawad, no?
I mean they are somali but not really counted as ethnic Somali. So when I said not somali I meant ethnic wise. And yeah Awad for Somalis is spelt like you said with a C. but is obvious those names aren't a typical name for any ethnic Somalis.

The barawanis and cad cad in London are part of the somali community and are considered as such. I only see this ethnic Somali emphasis online.

If a Somali barawani passed in our community no would even say “ yeah bro he was not Somali”. He would be considered no different from Isaac Hawiye etc passing away.

But they're not indigenous to Somalia so how are they ethnically Somali? If they have heavy admixure of Somali than is understandable but a lot of them don't.

I don’t think having 100 percent ethnic descent from pastoral Neolithic is the one thing which makes one a Somali. I know some barawanis/benadiri who look border line Arab and they consider themselves Somali, eat Somali food, chill in Somali spaces and no one would think a non Somali passed away if one of them died. They’re just seen as a Somali minority tribe by other Somalis in real life.

Anyway, let us not discuss this in a thread about murder victims.
