Why do Somalis look so distinctly different from other Horn African tribes?

[Bubbles]

I don't know if you guys have noticed this, but Somalis have such a distinct different look from other Horn African ethnic groups.

Afar, Oromos, and Saho are Cushitic like us and are said to be the closest tribes to us genetically...but yet they all have a Habesha look to me. They don't look like Somalis. I can always tell Somalis apart from other Horner groups.

Why do Somalis look so distinctly different?

We’re all Cushitic with a little bit variation with each tribe, so what? I have so many Oromo, two harari and afar friends(from Toronto) who legit just larp as Somalis because we look too alike and too many people come up to them and speak Somali to them, people even started rumors about my afar friend that he was Somali who self hating and wanted to run away from his identity

I never really noticed anything like that. You are very observant! What kind of differences are there?

Those other cushitic tribes are neighbours with tigray, tigrinya and amhara hence why they look like them wheras somalis aren't neighbours with habesha peoppe and rarely mixed with other horner groups let alone outsiders hence why we look distinctly different. although in the UK a lot of Somalis look habesha. Maybe is because you live in Canada most somalis there are darker and look like ubah hassan

We are purer that's why.
