The Rendille

[SOMALI GENERAL]

So these niggaz are what Somalis would look like without Islam? Damn

No.

They're mixed with Omotics and Nilotes and their culture is heavily influenced by Nilotes.

 

[Samaalic Era]

So these niggaz are what Somalis would look like without Islam? Damn

We dodged a bullet

 

[SOMALI GENERAL]

They have mixed heavily no doubt, but at one point they were regular Somalis

If that's the case, then leave them be. They're now Madows & we should accept that & move on.

Kenya and North Tanzania was Cushitic (like Somalis) for thousands of years before turning Nilotic and Bantu.

Most Kenyans, even the Nilotic and Bantu ones, have some level of admixture from the native Kenyans who were Cushitic.

I know but most Kenyans even masaai dont look Somali. So I assumed the ones in the video were Rendille because they looked Somali/Cushitic.

This is wrong and a commonly made mistake.

They adopted the Nilotic culture of the Samburu. Their culture is mostly Nilotic.

pre-Islamic Somali culture is practically completely gone and only partially there in ethnic Somalis only. They have changed culturally just as much as Somalis have.

Some of them look more cushites than many Somalis! It's crazy, i'm happy that we are not nilotes and nilotes pagans lmao

Never mind, the people in the video were Borana people.

Ah ok and is there any ethnic group in Somalia that is still pagan, pre islamic-like? I want to know how they were and their culture!

The Darod tribe is full of waaq clans. Our ancient native @SOMALI GENERAL 's clan is named Jidwaaq.

This was the pre-Islamic Somali name for God.

 

[Samaalic Era]

I saw a video on BBC Africa once of a group of people in Kenya that looked like Somalis dancing and singing in praise of their cows. I’m guessing it was them? Are they muslim?

They are Waaqists

I think Waaq was a specific Bird God that they believed held the earth in place.

In Somali, its usually Eebe for God, even in the translation of the Qur'an, Alle is not used but Eebe till this day

I thought Waaq was the equivalent to the English word "Lord"?

For example, Jidwaaq translates to "Path of the Lord".

 

[Samaalic Era]

I thought Waaq was the equivalent to the English word "Lord"?

I used to the think that aswell. I found out recently it a specific God that was worshipped and even had an Idol. At first, the Idol was in Waqooyi Galbeed in a place called CaabudLa until it was transferred to CaabudWaaq which became the Mecca of the Horn.

I heard waaq many times in the video too.

Waaq was the cushtic sky God. Even some oromos have it.

This Somali Translation for Qur'an

lets go back to waaq,,nice we had old religion but nothing is known about it as islam destroys cultures.

Go back to a religion we know nothing about besides the name?

 

[roble]

atleast we can shed the rigid madness we are in and just call ourselves waaqis.
no jalibiib, no crazy wadaads running superstitious stuff round the clock.
Stay at peace my waaqi people.

 

[Nilotufian]

I like these things that the Masaai and Rendille wear. Very nice and colorful.

That Nordid skull

 

[SOMALI GENERAL]

That Nordid skull

Some have that uber Cushitic look...

But they're very rare.
