    Hi Karen, Somali people are indigenous to at least four African countries: Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya and the old Republic of Somalia. The entire former North Eastern Province of Kenya is inhabited by people who are ethnically Somali. The vast majority of the people of Eastleigh are Kenyan. In the same way you have Maasai in Kenya and Tanzania; Luo in Kenya, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda; Luhya in Kenyan and Uganda; Borana in Ethiopia and Kenya; the Somali are indigenous to Kenya and several neighboring states. Kenya is extremely diverse and has Bantu, Cushitic and Nilotic people, it’s probably one of the most diverse countries in terms of it’s indigenous populations. Happy trails as you get to know your new home better. Maybe one of these you should try and visit Garissa the hub of the North Eastern part of Kenya, also go West and East.

    Here’s a fun fact, Somalis and other Cushitic people were first to inhabit what is now known as Kenya long before any other ethnic group from way of the Horn of Africa. Somalis are an ancient people who connected Africa with the rest of ancient world through trade. They are the only tribe that’s named after a country. The history of the African people is very rich and fascinating once you do more research on it.

    Kenyan Somalis are from the North Eastern side of Kenya which occupies one third of Kenyan territory. Somalis are Cushitic people and are just as Kenyan as any other tribe in Kenya. Infact they are Kenya’s sixth largest tribe. The fact that you see a Somali in Kenya does not necessarily mean they are from Somalia, Ethiopia, Djibouti or Eritrea. The other Somalis come to Kenya too but as we all know boundaries were drawn that separated communities, so they are all Somali by ethnicity but they have allegiance to the countries they fall under. Many Kenyan Somalis have never been to Mogadishu/ Somalia. EastLeigh is a melting pot of Kenyan cultures and is not exclusive to Somalis but you find a large concentration of them there running businesses, but so do other Kenyan communities.

    Somalis are the 5th largest ethnic group in Kenya..out of 44 tribes. Kenya reply is a place where most Tribes came from elsewhere, especially the Bantu. East Africa is mostly Cushiness and Nilotes, before Bantus arrived from central Africa...so these Somalis are right where they belong. In Nairobi, you will find concentration of particular ethnic groups in one area...for instance, Luo in langata, Luhyas in Kawangware, etc.

    Karen, you are doing the same thing I did as when I came to the U.S. I would look at AAs and think, that one looks like a Kamba, Luhya, etc. The first time I heard someone speak Ebonics, I thought it was some west African language, until I heard more of what was being said. There also some AA phrases that I feel could only have come from someone with a feel for African languages.
