This video is about the Somali People of East Africa.
Somalis. The envy of all with their towering height, unshakeable pride, devout religious convictions, and a genetic lottery win in the looks department that leaves the rest of us feeling like mere evolutionary prototypes. Did you know they used to trade with ancient Pharaoh Kingdoms? Lets talk about their origins. Generally, Cushitic people are believed to have originated in the north-eastern regions of Africa, possibly around the Nile Valley , just south of Egypt.
2. Basic Demographics.
The Somali people, hailing from the Horn of Africa, are a Cushitic-speaking group of around 23 million individuals. They live in Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Djibouti. Somalis are considered one of the most ethnically homogenous nations in the world. Over 99 percent are Sunni Muslims and are known as one of the most devoted Muslim communities in the world.
3. Diverse Genetics.
Genetic studies have revealed a diverse ancestry, including East African, Arabian, and even South Asian influences. According to genetic studies, Somalis are approximately 70% East African indigenous Cushitic and 30% West Eurasian. In this Eurasian component, 15 percent is Middle Eastern Semitic, and 15 percent is North African. According to Cruciani et al. (2007), the presence of these subhaplogroups in the Horn region may represent the traces of an ancient migration from southern Egypt.
4. Beautiful Phenotype.
This genetic diversity is mirrored in the Somali people's phenotype, with a wide range of physical features and skin tones. Somalis are generally tall with lean physiques, thin noses, soft hair, and dark brown skin. Both men and women are incredibly good-looking. Somali women, in my opinion, are some of the world's most beautiful women. Their hourglass curvy figures, smooth melanin-rich skin, beautiful radiant smiles, and lovely faces are nothing but extraordinarily stunning.
5. Debate about their blackness.
Now, there has been a raging debate about the blackness of Somalis. Though some people argue that they are not black, that it erases their subjective identity as Somalis, and that the notion of blackness is a western social construct designed to oppress black people, the question of their racial identity is straightforward when considering their geographic and historical context. Somalia, located in the Horn of Africa, is part of the African continent, and its people share many physical and genetic characteristics with other African populations. Skin colour, while a superficial marker of race, is just one aspect of a person's identity.
6. Interesting Personality.
Here are some universal Somali behavioural traits: Picture this: a bunch of folks so proud they probably high-five their mirrors every morning. They are incredibly proud of their Somali status, culture, looks, and history. Somalis are known for their remarkable resilience and adaptability in the face of adversity. They've turned Mogadishu from a war zone a few years ago to the thriving city it is becoming today.
7. Beautiful Harsh-Sounding Language.
The Somali language, known as Af-Soomaali, is a key component of the Somali identity. It belongs to the Cushitic branch of the Afroasiatic language family. While Somali is the official language of Somalia, the Somali people's linguistic influence extends beyond national borders, with many Somalis in neighbouring countries also speaking the language. Somali is spoken at breakneck speed, like a language on a caffeine overdose. Here is a sample of this beautiful language.
8. Great Business Acumen.
Historically, Somalis were nomadic herders, moving with their livestock in search of water and pasture. Somali merchants and explorers played significant roles in ancient trade networks, including the Silk Road and Indian Ocean trade routes. Today, millions of Somalis still carry on livestock keeping, exporting millions of goats and cattle to the Middle East.
9. Rich Culture.
Somali culture is renowned for its poetry, with an ancient oral tradition of storytelling that reflects the beauty of the Somali language. Hospitality is a cornerstone of their social fabric, where guests are treated with the utmost respect and generosity. Sharing meals and engaging in conversation are essential parts of Somali culture. Traditional dances, like the energetic Daanto and graceful Buraanbur, add rhythm and movement to their celebrations.
10. Delicious Cuisine.
Somali food is savory and absolutely delicious. The following are some of the prominent Somali dishes.
Hilib Ari: Grilled goat or lamb marinated with a blend of spices, served with flatbread (injera).
Somali cuisine continues to gain recognition globally, with Somali restaurants and dishes finding their way into international culinary scenes. Did you know Somalis eat most of their meals with a banana?
I'm From South Africa but I must say Somalians are 1 of the most beautiful people in this world
🙏etyopia &eritrya 😜😜
Thanks 😊 south africans real freedom fighters like us. Greetings from Djibouti 🇩🇯 ❤
I AGREE THEY ALWAYS SURPRISE ME ALMOST ALL OF THEM ARE BEAUTIFUL EVERYTIME I MET BEAUTY AFTER BEAUTY

They’re beautiful people with a rich culture, pious & business oriented. Living & interacting with them daily has made me to become more open minded 🇸🇴
RWANDA 🇷🇼 love Somalia 🇸🇴🩸💕❤️❤️
urakoza chane lost somali ❤🇸🇴✊
*Cyane not chane@@farahhoday8477
Love to All Africans from 🇸🇴
Great video. Insha’Allah Somalia 🇸🇴 will RISE once again.
In shaa Allaah
It won't until we get rid of religion.
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.

We are one Somalia and there should be no difference between north and south. Very proud of my country!
Somaliland is not Somalia
@@mauricesantinomf Please stop this nonsense. We speak the same language.
@@mauricesantinomfHahaha WHY was there a war recently in which a huge population left to join Somalia 🇸🇴? Isaaqland does NOT exist doqonyahow haha
@@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
We really need to stop hating each other for nothing bro. Only together we can achieve greatness.
Maa shaa Allaah Alxamdulillaah
Si fiican oo wanaagsan ayaad uga hadashay dadka Soomaaliyeed, dhaqankooda, taariikhdooda soo jireenka aheyd waligeedba iyo wiliba quruxdooda.

What great documentry thank. As somalis we proud to be part of kushitic family .proud to be african .
This is so sweet and educational !! Thank you for seeing our beauty in every way 🤲🏿👏🏿
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.
@@gardodifardoodiare you the one who bend over and get !@#$%^&* in the a$$ by Italians, you have no say here...
True thank you after all we all africain and we should all support each other one day Africa will united I hope
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..
😂 Great man there
Proud to be somali ❤️🔥
Alhamdullilah.
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
We are a country with one religion, one country with one culture
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. 🇸🇴
Hey! As-salamu ālaykūm warahmatullāhi wa'barakatuh.
I'm Ridwan from Nigeria and would love to have a Somalian as a friend. Do you mind???
The women can’t be that proud;most of them wear foundation that is 5 shades lighter than their real skin tone.
SO naked woman Are Proud, We Are Somalis,And Our Girls Born Naturaly Proud, We Don't see Others Eyes To Be Proud Xoolo iska Nool@@kimerietate8372
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 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.
This video is ,fir the most part, accurate. The Somali I know are brave, quick witted and serious as a heart attack. They do not play.

❤thank you for this
Thank you bro.❤❤
The food looks amazing
You did do justice to this topic.. our conversations are rather load aggressive and always heartly fuelled in public, our food tasty and caltural norms upheld.. we take great bride in knowing our fathers and ancestors by name one after the other its called abtir.. somalis are so incredibly related to each other that even the seemingly furthest from each other will find a family link through either marriage or blood ancestry.. clans although given bad rep by the war is an incredible tool to social structure and and judiciary process pre and post independence, elders are usually mediators in any case involving marriage or even war and justice, they are also part of the entouchable among society that will not be harmed including women and children we call them biramagoydo.. as much as somali as ethnicity is concerned speaking the language is equally significant to being ethnically somali.
Well described
I think this video it taked alot of time and effort to collect this data , it's amazing video info, I am Somali.
Amazing ❤
Love it.💕💕
Anybody knows the name tracks they played in this video? Beautiful music

Throughout my experiences with many different nationalities,Somalis,are one of the best!
Thank you bro..all true🎉😂❤...only think is you could of done a poem

Alxadulilaah alaa Neimatul Islaam,Im somali and I'M proud to be Somali for ever.
Very good 🇸🇴👍
Wow I'm somalian but this information so beautiful and very very shuw all dewy thanks for my country information absolutely respect you my pro❤
Thanks and welcome
Somali * Saxib don’t call your self Somalian that’s something you western society made up don’t let them confuse you .
It’s somali (Somalis) not Somalian tho
big love Somali people
Post about other countries & tribes!!
100% all this focuses on is SomaliA and Mogadishu 😒 like it’s the ONLY Somali city. Anyway , tapped out > Somaliland is EnRoute to getting back its Status back as a country.
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!
No they're cushitic not jews (semitic)
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.
@@kush833Mandera, Garissa and Wajir belongs to Kenya not Somalia
@@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.
What’s the second song name?
From Georgia, i love Somalis they're smart and charming people
Somalian people are such good humble people
😆🤣😂 excellent work bro
Exactly 💯
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.
True, that goes for every country, that's why we are humans. Every continent has beautiful people
Waxan ahay somaali waxan u mahad celinayaa allehii iga dhigay afrikaan igana dhigay kuwa ugu quruxda badan ku mahadsanidid sobanigidaada muqaalkaan walal
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.
Bro you forget my picture
Proud to be Somalian🫡
We are the best of all the world❤
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.
@@FactsOnlyPlease. Black is always beautiful.
@@fluxonite4254
No, I’m just anti-Goy supremacy & domination to be exact!
@@fluxonite4254
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.
What song is that at the 11 min mark?
I wondered also. Lovely music, lovely people ❤
Artist: Naima Nadka
Song: “Soo Baydh”.
It's called soo baydh
Thanks very much for diving a deep in our culture and showing the world the true face of Somalian people❤❤❤❤
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.
