The truth: I'm a Yemeni Jew (ethnicity wise)

[Layth]

Now wallahi I didn't mean to mislead my brothers and sisters. Some have caught on a long time ago. I was adopted by Reer Xamar parents who I no longer live with. I appreciate their good treatment towards me and the fact that they see me as one of them, but it's time to come out. An eagle cannot live all of its life pretending to be a (enter another type of bird). I'm touched by the ahadith that warn against claiming a people you're not from. I'm not the only Yemeni Jew, wallahi there were a few families. The 'Amraani numbered no more than 1,000 in Xamar. Some have converted alxamdulilah while others haven't. For example: http://jewishrefugees.blogspot.co.uk/2007/07/abraham-blogger-only-jew-in-somalia.html

I liked claiming Benadiri Arab, but this is the end of the road for me in that regard. It's no surprise I'm have Yemeni citizenship and have no plans to return to Xamar. If I do, it would mainly be to open a business; perhaps one in Hargeisa or Gaalkacyo too.

I've disclosed this information to a Barawani family that was close to me and they shunned me. It's why I keep it a secret. It's why the Amraani ask Benadiri families for sheegad status but some people have been misled into believing certain clans are Jews. For example our brother here: https://www.somnet.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=169795&start=15

I still don't support Israel though. I also live in Huddersfield, UK but I claimed other areas because of the Benadiri population there.

I once proposed to a Benadiri girl but it didn’t go right. Her family inquired regarding what family I’m from, when I told them, they were delighted (told them the family of my foster parents). But then when they found out I’m a foster son and the sub-clan is not legit a Benadiri Arab one, they rejected my proposal. I decided to not disclose the truth about my origins to any girl that I’d want to marry for this reason, but then I thought that’s kind of deceptive.

The truth is, I'm an outcast wherever I go. Islam is the only identity I have. No community on the planet would accept me, not even Benadiri. But there’s no point in pretending to be something that I’m not. I don’t care about acceptance from people tbh, I ride alone.

Very interesting. During Ajuuran empire time, many ethnic groups mainly from Persia, Arabia, India and European descedent use to come to Xamar which was an ancient civilized city with huge port and wealth and had many schools, hospitals, beautiful houses and ect. It was a civilization which began 10th century.

Ancient mogadishu over thousand years ago.

Yemeni jew? Sxb ur skin is black

 

[VixR]

Hmm. I think you're being way too fatalistic about being an outcast, and about nobody accepting you. Don't shutdown like that, it's not good for you.

Were you able to meet other Yemeni Jews from Somalia? Also, being an orphan of uncertain parentage isn't exactly uncommon in war torn countries. You'll be just fine.

Brothers fight and brothers forgive.

They came around Ajuuran era in Xamar and mixed with native local somali's sxb.

 

[Daisy]

You are our Brother in Islam that's all that matters. Be proud of who you are.

 

[Rooble]

Mashallah nothing wrong with being a Yemeni Jew, they are the people of the Book.

Come on, don't be so dramatic!!!you are Somali and part of our Somali identity, just say" I am Somali Yemeni" which is more than enough. if you can not get along with rest in south, Somalis in north(SL, PL) will accept you easily. Small note my cuz married Yemeni guy who his family lived in hargeisa for 100 years.
