Who are they? How do they play a role in the cushitic family group? What is their history? What is their relation to Somalis and what's their religion?

The Afar (Afar: Qafár), also known as the Danakil, Adali and Odali, are an ethnic group inhabiting the Horn of Africa. They primarily live in the Afar Region of Ethiopia and in northern Djibouti, as well as the entire southern coast of Eritrea. The Afar speak the Afar language, which is part of the Cushitic branch of the Afroasiatic family. Afars are the only inhabitants of the Horn of Africa whose traditional territories border both the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.[3]

I'm Djiboutian, we have many here.
Overall they are good people, they just speak a different laguage but other than that they are like us. Sometimes I forget that we are 2 different ethnic groups.

Saho are their closest kin
I've seen straight up Congolese looking Oromossome cushites are not banu hashim sxb
those are the ones who either mixed heavily with their omotic neighbors, or were adopted into the oromo society. i've seen somalis with big noses and big lips too btw.
Seeing a somali with big noses/lips is rare and very uncommon wheras with Oromos it’s pretty much typical and not questioned. Oromos are a very diverse group, I’ve seen many that look straight up Middle Eastern and some that look straight from nigeria.
Oromos are way to diverse to be a singleethnic group, that’s why most Somalis only marry from certain oromo groups that are considered more “pure” like hararghe and arsi oromos
1. It's not as rare as you think, there's many somalis with features you'd describe as ''Madow,'' whether you are honest enough to acknowledge it or not.
2. we are more diverse because we assimilated more people, as we conquered and expanded, I am honest enough to admit that. but the original oromos, had the same features many of us have today [that I too have]; broad forehead, thinner lips and aquiline nose, etc. the hamitic/cushitic features described by historians. btw, we all came from the same son of Nuh [alayis salam], as in, amharas, oromos, somalis, afars, etc, all come from the same ancient ancestor.
3. lol @ looks ethiopian, what does that even mean?
somalis marry those closest to them, it makes sense, the eastern oromo clans are closer to them geographically, so they marry them, it's not about who's ''pure'' and who isn't.
My father's clan is not from an area that borders somalis, yet I have been mistaken for being somali more times than I can count, so it's not about being ''pure.''
Really? I thought jimma was one of the omotic hotspots since a lot of kaffa people were assimilated there. Do kaffa look cushitic

many consider afar and saho to be two sides of the same coin, if you will.
i wonder, how similar are the somali and saho languages? have you ever heard the saho language spoken? i have heard afar, and it sounds very somali, but the vocabulary seems a lot different?
