Why does he claim to be Yemeni?

[Shimbiris]

Afars are much darker than Somalis.

I think that has more to do with them living mostly in the Danakil desert:



Like why Somalis from the qurbo are much lighter on average than their homeland counterparts. More sun. I bet if you took Afars to a place like Sweden for a decade or so, especially since they have more Habesha-like ancestry than us by the looks of it, they would lighten up and be similar to qurbo Somalis.

Afars are much darker than Somalis.

Not really,

As mentioned above, the ones who live Africa are tanned.

If they lived in the cold West, they would have the same color as diaspora Somalis.

I don't know how somalis even lie about their Ethnicity with a straight face. There've been times I wish I had the skill to lie on the spot when strangers ask for my name or number but I end up telling the truth and looking stupid.

Idk how I haven't been kidnapped already with the amount of strangers I've given my info to

it kinds depends on the climate. whenever people come to from xamar to kismayo they would be light and get a tan when they stay in kismayo.

so a madow somali thinks he can pass for yemani?

Yeah why not. This a youtuber named yarimi and when you look at him you think he is somali but he is yemeni. So somalis can automatically pass for a yemeni. He even looks like nadbash

This is what pure Yemeni Arabs look like, nothing like Somalis. Many of them can unironically pass for Syrians. No Somali can pass as Syrian while many Yemenis can.

Yessssss

 

[Aurelian]

Ask him about his Yemeni clan

 

[Reekha]

Ask him about his Yemeni clan

[Xanibacal bin Barqa]

Being called Lahji is a diss in Yemen and Saudi Arabia

 

[trucel]

C'mon, those people are too light.

Africa, South Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh etc.), and the Caribbean are the only regions Somalis can scam people into being from there.

Middle Easterners are too light.

Ive been mistakened for being from ME , not tht rare.

 

[Shimbiris]

No one who really knows MENAs is ever going to mistake any Somali for a Syrian or a Lebanese or a Turk or really even an Iranian. He is correct about that. The most light-skinned MENA-esque Horners, not just Somalis, at best look off Khaleeji or admixed Masri or southern Levantine.
