I’m a Kenyan🇰🇪 living with Somalis for years now, and this video is true!💯 They’re beautiful people with a rich culture, pious & business oriented. Living & interacting with them daily has made me to become more open minded 🇸🇴
@@gissmuHe knows somaliland is nothing but a region of Somalia 🇸🇴. I swear, warlords in his clan brainwashed his mindset to think anyone would recognized a region which has the same people and culture as the rest to be “different” haha
Maa shaa Allaah Alxamdulillaah Si fiican oo wanaagsan ayaad uga hadashay dadka Soomaaliyeed, dhaqankooda, taariikhdooda soo jireenka aheyd waligeedba iyo wiliba quruxdooda. Waad mahadsan tahay 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Absolutely yeah, you did, you have managed justice on it brother. Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤ Proud to be Somali girl Greetings from my Country Somalia 🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴
I am Ethiopian but I love my Somali people regardless of our nick nack. If you want to see success of a community just go to twin cities, they are amazingly closed community and every penny circles around their community. They are successful because they are not scared of anything, they are go getters and they know how to do business together.
All Ethiiopian tribes and Somaliis have same indigenous race apart from some little diversities and values such as religion.. I confess Somalis and Ethiopians are commmuniity where ever they are from..
I’m Somali and i have noticed that it’s easiest for me to connect with Ethiopians and Eritreans than any other group 😂 other horn Africans are just easier to get to know
Somali seems like Chechnya of Africa, also Muslim population, hard-working, turned war city of Mogadishu in thriving city (like Grozny) and seems they also like wrestling
Wow you are good story teller, since you talk about a lot of positive points of Somaalis unlike the rest of the world I thing we should support your channel and Atleast subscribe it
Relax bro. Islam is here to stay. You can not just replace it with causing mass chaos. Islam should be utilised as a unifying force. Religion dies as societies become more scientifically/technologically advanced. Understand?
Somali has risen already, I don't know what you are talking about. Look how far along it came, just need to stay focus and be wise, engage, do business, that's what you guys are good at. Make Somali peaceful and make it a tourist place that everybody and their moma want to come and see just like the islands in the Caribbean.
You have done just enough research, my dear friend, and I have never seen a video that truly touches or conveys the richness and beauty of Somali culture and traditions. Continue your outstanding work to help more Africans
the east African countries fascinate me more and more. my great grandmother was Italian and Eritrean and watching your films I am getting a better understanding of her culture.
Genetic lottery 😒? That’s a crazy thing to say. However I guess that’s your opinion. Bantus clearly dominate the continent and are equally as beautiful as any Somali.
Funny, manny begin to talk beauty when one possess a light skinned color! And we mostly do it to ourselves. But there is nothing more beautiful than a fine, deeply melanated, beautiful West African sister, to me who is African American!
I think it is more there alkaline features that people think is mostly associated with them and straighter hair texture. This is totally untrue for many of them. Even their light skin. Somalians are some of the darkest people on the planet. And they are more diverse than you think. Because they are surrounded by other countries.
@@fluxonite And you truly think the dominant culture in present day Egypt are its original inhabitants? If so then I have some fine swampland in Florida to sell you that was once own by the “original white inhabitants” of America! Now how ridiculous does that sound.
We are proud to be Somali, one of the oldest people to exist in the continent and beyond. Alhamdullilah being born as a Soomaali. Waa mahad Eebbe for being blessed one language, culture, tradition and faith. 🇸🇴
Maybe bc we are not obsessed over makeup you would only see us wearing makeup on weddings and who tf told you somali women can't have lightskin🤔🤔@@kimerietate8372
The Land of Punt is in Somalia and where ancient Egyptions used to get THEIR spiritual knowledge from. People will tell you that they don't know where the Land of Punt was BUT Somalis know.
My gratitude will always go to my Somali family in Holland, Daaud Yahallo, Farhiya Abdulhamid, Mohammed, Omar. May Allah subahana wattalla grant all of you peace and happiness. Somali are good to me, They help me when i arrived Holland, in early nineties. Somali brother and Sister give nothing but love, as West African origin, but have similar Somali slim frame. My brother accepted me and give love. Somali are among the most kindness and hospitable people, typically to Pastoralist you find throughout our beautiful diverse continent. Their entrepreneur spirit, brotherhood, sense of family bond is very strong among Somali. Friday night is Quat eating day with very sweet tea, like Tuareg of West Africa. After many days of hard work. Is time to talk about politic, and other stuff till the next morning or midnight. Thank my Somali Brother and Sister for your love, that allow me to take best out of life. God willing i will reach Mogadishu, one of of this day. Since East Africa is my second home after marrying a Tanzanian.
The genetics section misrepresents the ancient history of Somalis, there is no South Asian influence whatsoever. You also misquoted the 2020 paper by Ali, Abshir A et al and other researchers.
Yes, I agree, Somalis are in a class of their own among the original dark-skinned people. I am also curious about their culture and ancient history as they probably are of the lost 10 tribes of Israel, not Jews, or if they are even connected with the ancient Ethiopians. But as a whole, they are a beautiful people. God is good!
Diffinatley, genetically related to Oromo (largest tribe in Ethiopia) and Afar, as well as Boranas from north Kenya. North of Kenya belonged to Somalia colonization did a lot of divisions. Not sure of Israelis ancestry but there's posibilty since some carry middle eastern semitic genetics.
@@mauricesantinomfSomalis historically lived in that area before there was even Kenya. The first inhabitants of Kenya were Cushitic people. So Kenya belongs to the Cushitic tribes not the other way around or the late comers.
To answer your question, Somalis are an ancient tribe that had connections with all the other Abrahamic faiths. The Horn of Africa is and has always been a source of refuge to Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Whenever they face hardship or persecution they came to the Somali peninsula aka Horn of Africa. Somalis as a whole had close relations to the Ancient Egyptians/North Africans due to constant migrations and back migrations to/from the Horn of Africa, North Africa, and the Middle East. These three regions have been historically been connected with the ancestors of Somalis known to do trade and businesses throughout the world.
Beauty is found in every nation. Most people you meet anywhere are just average. They won't scare your kids, but they won't stop traffic either. A small percentage will scare your kids and a small percentage are drop dead gorgeous.
Regardless of what Somalis or anybody says, when I’m looking in a the face of a Somali , I see black person standing in front of me. The culture may be different to other African cultures but they are still undoubtedly black.
@@skp8748 lol you’re delusional darling 🤣 You can tell yourself that if it makes you sleep better at night However the rest of the world disagrees 🤷🏾♀️😂🤣😭
Well, as I see the results of several more. Many Ethiopian or Eritreans carry fraction of Somali genetic information while Somalis doesn’t always carry which means that Somalis way older than Eths or Erits
The problem I have with your video is that it does not reflect the sight of an average somali. You could get that kind of video just about any place in Africa if you wanted. So be objective and show the real average somali.
@@revivalist355 Yes but he has still not met her family!!!!! They live in the UK too. I think they do not approve at all so I do not want to meet them to be honest. I feel sorry for my son and his new wife to be. The family only want a Somali for her.
@@henryfitch8710 that's very unfortunate Henry . As a Somali myself, I wish you and your son the best . Unfortunately some Somali parents are still old school in their thinking . Some are initially close minded about interracial marriages but after some time take a laid back approach. So it depends on her parents . Either way I wish you the best outcome
@@abdulmunim2011 Her family disowned her, would indicate her family as ignorant and backward. They would have lost a sister and daughter. However, Imans family are educated and had great exposure to the world and way of life. She didn’t come from a backward family like yours!!! Imagine disowning a family member because they have interracial relationships or gay or for some other normal human trait! Show Somali nation as backwards like most other Muslim nations. Who do you think you are?!! Do you think that Somalis are at the top of the human chain?! Do you think the rest of the human population are out there desperate to marry a Somali? Somalís are NOT special, they are humans just like the rest of the world’s population! If you don’t want to mix with other humans, stay your As in Somali and don’t go to other peoples countries!!! Sweden opened their doors to your people, and they regret it because they have come to realise you people are ignorant and barbaric AFRICANS!!! Do you know how much marriages Iman had?! She had three! Did they disown her after her third marriage to David Bowie and ignored her previous marriages one to an American basketball player I.e. not Somali! You are stupid! It is a lie her family disowned her, just follow Iman on social media and you will see that she has not been disowned by her family. She publicly grieved her mother, who died two months after her husband David Bowie died!!!
interesting facts. appreciated. true, some facial portraits are very striking. tho, very heavy makeup. and, beauty is always in the eye of the beholder.
Somalias origin is Ethiopia! Otoman Turkey invasion split us! I am Ethiopian with DNA similar to Somalians. Somali was the ancient part of Ethiopia in History, The Holy Bible & the Holy Quran religious ancient Books are witnesses. Those ladies on a video bleached their skins.
KKKK Somali Have 10000 Years Of History Bigger Than Ethiopia And Ethiopians Are Migrant Semetics Who Immigrates From Arabian Peninsula And Middle East Somali Were Kingdom In Egyptian Time
You gave it Justice, it was a fair and very accurate documentary. The only thing I would add is how much we love our Camels 🐪 and that Somalis domesticated the 🐪 and that we love Camels so much that we have entire section of our poetry dedicated to Camels 🐪. That we spread our Camels all over Africa and the Middle East. A lot of people think Camel Culture is Arab, but it is actually African and from the Horn.
If you know the the tribe, the clan and the nation you belong to you shouldn't use the color bkack as identity, we are not African Americans who lost their identity through slavery, so i am Somali not black - ever heard a Chinese person saying I am yellow?
Most important question, which I haven’t seen raised in the program or in the comments log is, ‘Are all the people in Sub-Saharan Africa ONE RACE’? If your anwser is YES, my reaction is 😳 🤦🏾♂️. The program makers have missed the point and haven’t made an in-depth research about the information or knowledge they tried to portray. And so are likewise many videos I have seen on RU-vid with more or less the same content. Please stop wasting people’s time, and spreading misinformation and ignorance. Long story short, the largest native group in the Horn of African nation are an offshoot of the Cushitic race. So they have welcomed and mixed with other races over a long period of time, because of that coastline. So what, so have people many parts in the world. Somali is a word, which derives from the somali word ‘soo maal’, which means ‘go and milk’. In the past - and still so to some extent - the way of life was pastoralist, which makes sense how popular and user the word ‘soo maal’ has become. If the question who are the Somalis of the country’s population, the largest native group or the ethnic minorities? Then they are both Somali, since there’s a nation called ‘Somalia’ and the inhabitants are citizens of that nation. If the question is who is ethnically Somali, then it’s anyone who culturally, in feature and genetically share with the tribes who are and were natives of the land, who (again) are in turn an offshoot of the Cushitic family group or race. Can anyone of the Cushitic group be a Somali, no they can’t, the same way a Somali cannot be an Eritrean, Afar or Oromo. I hope my input shed a little bit of light about the matter concerned. ADVISE… If you are going to watch anything of knowledge based on RU-vid, please be wary. You have been warned. 🙏🏾
Waxan ahay somaali waxan u mahad celinayaa allehii iga dhigay afrikaan igana dhigay kuwa ugu quruxda badan ku mahadsanidid sobanigidaada muqaalkaan walal
There are beautiful women there for sure. I don't care much about their traditions. They are too fanatically religious for me and women have no freedom. They still have genital mutilation going on. Women go swimming in their clothes. I don't see guys dressed up covering their bodies. I must say they are good at business. Compared to other African countries.Not a place for tourism yet, unless you know some people there to visit. As for food, I prefer Eritrean or Ethiopian food more. Nice looking houses near the beach back in the 1980s.
Why you keep accusing us to look at other Africans differently 😒. We somalis been in wars against the whites and Chinese to protect Africa. We were in battles during the slavery for our fellow Africans brothers like Kenya Tanzania and Uganda to protect them for slavery 😒 . We were the only African country stood to their ground not be invaded or controlled by western countries. Loook up the history of somali warriors and you accusing us for being told to look at fellow Africans differently oh shut up 🤫 your are African and black is not your race it is a term made by western to divide you dump ass. You’re an African you that term instead 😒😒😒
They are amazing!!! The women that is. And for me if she's Muslim? So be it absolutely. And the mouth watering cuisines that were just mentioned. I've got to find a restaurant that serves everything. Beautiful vlog very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think every country has beautiful and not traditionally beautiful people. This was a great mini documentary. Thank you 😬
Thank you for researching our (somali) rich cultural and language. I hope the people of the world will know much about our culture,language and religion.
Wow! I love this short but precise documentary about my Somali people. You nailed it bro. Thank you for sharing our culture and identity with thr world🙏🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴Stay blessed 🇸🇴🇸🇴💙
The Prophet peace be upon Him said The Prophet Muhammad said, "He will not enter paradise in whose heart there is a mustard seed's weight worth of pride".
They are more than proud, they are arrogant about their ethnicity. Not true about their religious zeal. They look the part of very religious but they are not from the strongest of Muslims.
This Somalian lady ik lives in the u.s husband told her to stop saying shes from america nd that shes a Somalian......she said she hates Somalia lol cant make this stuff up.....
I Would Just Like To State... Ancient "Asian" And "Eur-Asian" Are To Be Distinguished From "Asian" And "Eur-Asian", Which Would Refer To Post Foundational Indigenous Melanated a.k.a Black People, As Well As... Shemitic, Also Known As Semitic.
first somalis are not 23 millions total of all of them are about more than 70 millions I don’t know why those ignore us. if you are somali you ignore you self too.
