The Fascinating History Of Somali People Spans Thousands of Years

- The Somali people have a fascinating history that spans thousands of years. They primarily inhabit the Horn of Africa, with significant populations in Somalia, Djibouti, Ethiopia, and Kenya. The Somali diaspora is also spread across the globe. Their language, Somali or Af-Soomaali, belongs to the Cushitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family and serves as a unifying force among different Somali clans and communities.
Music and dance hold great cultural significance for the Somali people. Traditional Somali music is characterized by rhythmic beats and melodious tunes produced by instruments such as the oud, tambourine, and flute. The vibrant dances, such as Dhaanto and Dhiil, are performed during festive occasions and celebrations, showcasing the energetic footwork and graceful movements of the Somali people. Somali cuisine reflects the region's geography and cultural influences. Staple foods include canjeero, a type of pancake, cambuulo, cooked azuki beans, and bariis, spiced rice. The cuisine is known for its rich flavors and aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Camel meat, goat, and fish are commonly consumed sources of protein. Somali tea and camel milk are popular beverages that complement the flavors of the cuisine. Festivals play a vital role in Somali culture. Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan, is celebrated with prayers, feasting, and gift exchanges. Somali Independence Day on July 1st commemorates the nation's freedom from colonial rule in 1960. These festivals bring communities together, strengthen bonds, and provide opportunities to showcase traditional arts, music, and dance. The Somali people have a rich legacy of ancient empires and city-states. The Sultanate of Adal, which thrived during the medieval period, had significant trade connections with the Arab world. The Ajuran Sultanate, known for its architectural achievements and maritime power, left a lasting impact on Somali history. These empires highlight the historical significance and influence of the Somali people in regional trade and politics. Somali culture and traditions are deeply rooted in a nomadic and pastoralist lifestyle. The harsh, arid climate of the region shaped their way of life, emphasizing resilience and adaptability. Somali society places great importance on kinship and clan affiliations, forming the foundation of their social structure. Hospitality, oral storytelling, and respect for elders are highly valued cultural traits that contribute to the strong sense of community among the Somali people. Despite challenges such as civil unrest and political instability, the Somali people have managed to preserve their rich cultural heritage. They continue to make significant contributions to the diversity and vibrancy of the African continent and the world at large. The Somali people's resilience, cultural pride, and strong sense of identity are a testament to their enduring spirit.

@rakghana I don't think most of the Somalia think the same about the people of Africa, not the North. The rest of the Somalians called them monkeys , and that's their beliefs. So maybe you haven't experienced it but that is beliefs
@kojobowers8715 first of all it is somali, not Somalian, I'm somali myself and never seen somali calling himself or another African monkey 🤐
@timroyacoub8369 Well, I was shocked myself. But they do. Maybe not everyone is educated , but the ignorant ones do.
@kojobowers8715 it was very disgusting 🫣 and stupid to say that specially from an African , I think they are not even aware they insulting themselves 🤣
May peace and tranquility return to Somalia again, Amen
Beautiful Somalia!
Greetings from France ❤️
Somalis definitely got reach culture and identity. Very kind and open people. May their lands and people Prosper.
Beautiful people may peace and stability return to them they had a lot of influences in the mother land they fought hard against Apartheid in South Africa and taught the Arabs knowledge that they received no acknowledgement for brave warriors 💙
Thanks it's true

Every time I envision ancient Egypt, this is what I imagine them looking like. Somalis are some of the most stunningly gorgeous people!! Hope to visit the country one day

Respect from Kenya
RakGhana thank you so much for sharing my beautiful people and country, put some of your pictures are Ethiopians and west African fulani's
Overall was Amazing well done please share more thanks
No there not bro all the pictures are our beloved Somali ppl. That’s how we looked before all of the iscadeyn (diyaana)
@@Hippobottomless No. There were some photos that weren't Somali at all.
At 2:56 those are Ethiopians.
The non-Somali photos look like AI-generated images because they look like an amalgamation of different ethnic groups' features, cultural clothing and accessories, etc.
3:07 isn't Somali, most likely West African.
3:20 is probably AI-generated. Only the man in the middle looks Somali but his jewellery looks South East African or West African - none of his clothes are Somali. The others look Fulani with some Masaai influence in jewellery.
0:16 and 2:47 are also AI-generated. The women in the front look Somali but the others in the back and the other cultural influences aren't Somali. At 2:47, their jewellery is something that's never been worn in Somalia. At 0:16 their dresses are something that was never worn in Somalia.
0:38 look West African with West African clothing (the man's clothing is similar to Hausa).
Most of the other footage are Somalis though and are real people. My guess is that the creator tried to add just a few extra images using AI and probably typed in "Somali people". The issue with that is AI uses the Internet to generate these images. And many images online are not always accurate. If you search "Somalis" on any search engine, there are more than a few non-Somalis that will come up. And that's what's likely creating these inaccurate images. Still, the video's creator did a good job. I just suggest avoiding AI for culturally-specific things like this.
Nice video i am proud to be somaali east African
Somalias people are really nice and so hardworking and have very Nice songs i really love my country❤❤❤❤❤🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴
Most of peopel dont know that the second largest region in Ethiopia is Somali region and there are 9 million Somalis live there ,also the largest region in Kenya belongs to Somalis and other Cushatic tribes and there are 3 million Somalis living there also in Djibouto country the majority 70% are Somalis and the last in Somalia 17 million Somalis live.I forget Somali diaspora are over million people
Not 9 but 15 million Somalj
Somalia people are beautiful, Africa is a beautiful country, The people are so nice, Wonderful culture 💐🌹❤️

Real descendants of the ancient Egyptians.
Nah bro ancient Egyptians descend from the Horn of Africa just like all other Afroasiatic people. We are indigenous to the horn we didn’t migrate from Egypt.
@@Land_of_Punt some historians believe that Ancient Egyptians migrated from the land of punt which is in somalia, they say they call it the land of the ancestors.
@@malabeyes8090 I agree with you but I was just clarifying the point that somalis didn’t migrate from kemet/ancient Egypt to the horn but it’s the other way around. Hopefully once Somalia has full peace there will be archaeological surveys.
Beautiful Country!❤ thank you for sharing this

People seen in 0:36, 3:03 and 3:08 timestamps are not Soomaali people. There are other few still shots in the video that are not of Soomaali people.
I know! I was going to say the same but you already pointed it out. Good someone noticed.
Why not point out the OBVIOUS DIFFERENCE of two white men @ 0:46 for not being Somali, but no you rather focus on the LESSER DIFFERENCE of other Blacks. People are sick!
Lol Somalis come in different shades and colors bro. There’s a good chance they’re Somali
@@FactsOnlyPlease. I know Somali's who are so light skinned that they could pass for white. We were only pointing out the ones who were clearly another ethnic tribe and not Somali. It has nothing to do with skin color at all.
@@FactsOnlyPlease. This image was taken in Istanbul during Soomaali Diaspora Conference by and for Soomaali diaspora community and you can clearly see several Turkish officials, including the former Turkish ambassador to Soomaaliya. It is too obvious and no need to explain it. Other images I pointed out were presented as Soomaalis.

My name is Sharmaarke Mohamed Ali from Somaliland . I have to tell you that you african brothers do not be surprised by the fact that Somalis identify themselves as Arabs because Somalis are made up of different tribes that share the same language, culture, religion and environment. Some Somali tribes have been around for a long time and they are the ancient Somalis, and some tribes have become Somalis in different periods. Some are left over from the Portuguese invasion in the 15th century. Some tribes are of Israeli descent, while others are of Indian origin. As you know, in the past, the Somali region has been known by different names to the West and the Arabs, such as during the time of Prophet Moses, it was part of the land called Egypt. The pharaoh himself was a Somali because besides the image of the pharaohs and many traditions that are similar to the Somalis, there is the fact that the pharaoh's name is in the Somali language and that is what the pharaoh actually was. There are also ethnic groups living next to Somalis that have been heavily influenced by Somalis and later became Somalis.Ancient Somalis , most of them were traveled towards the south and west direction and arabs took the place of those scattered ancient somalis. Finally, do not be surprised that the majority of Somalis are of Arab origin.Majory of Somalis belong a line of of descent traced continuously from an ancestor and they protect and preserve family origins and history. On the other hand, there is no single country whose entire population descended from the origin of a single father, if i'm not sure its not more than one or two countries.
My dear brother Ola the Arabs reached Somalia and multiplied in it but they melted into the original Somali people and the proof of that is the language and customs As for the clan system, you understand alliances, a small group comes and joins into a big tribe. In the first generation, they are known to be alliances, but the previous generations die the fortune teller and integrate completely. This philosopher, the philosopher of sociology, Ibn Khaldun, explained it in his introduction, and gave many examples in the Arab tribes. But after the introduction of Islam in Somalia, the Arab lineage was from Hijaz. It carries political weight and adds ad war and peace
Because of putting the Somali Arabs in a special place to thank them
for the teachings of Islam and kinship to the prophet peace be upon him The large number of alliances from the small tribes in the Arab minority
As for the evidence of the fusion of the Arab minority in the Somali majority, it is the language, customs, traditions and arts. Ibn Khaldoun explains that in the genealogy, unlike what happened in North Africa when the Arab tribes migrated in the Islamic conquest in large numbers and Egypt. The indigenous people took the Arabic language, their customs, their arts, and so on. God knows best.
Her zaman somalı halkının sempatik ve yetenekli olduğunu düşünmüşümdür. Selamlar.

There is Swahili saying which say( miti lenye matunda hutupwa mawe) translated stones are thrown to the fruit bearing tree. That's why why everyone even our neighboring countries are loggerheads with somalia.everyone plays dirty games when it comes to Somalia affairs.

The Italians trained the Eritreans in 1935 as the first teachers, nurses, doctors, pilots and military.
Unlike the Somali's who decided to divide their nation into two, one side with the British and the other with the Italians, Eritreans actually united together and fought their enemies.

The pure Somalis are the Republic of Somaliland I can say the mother of real Somalis (the ex-Somaliland British protectorate)
Somaliland people have foreign Paternal group. They majority are paternally T-184 which is Middle East Origin, whereas the rest of Somalia and Somalis are EV-32 which is indigenous to Africa. This suggest Isaaqis are aYrAb bastard babies. DNA and science doesn’t lie !
Pathetic
Beautiful but many look mixed. Where are the original without mixed DNA? Im history buff and love all cultures especially non mixed indigenous because their dna are directly attached to their ancient ancestors with no mixture. Thank you for sharing 🥰❤️🌹🥀
Somalia have mixed with middle easterns from before modern civilization before ancient Egypt it’s literally thousands of years old
Somali people are not mixed, Africa and Africans are diverse, where different regions dominated by certain type; in the west dominated by the Bantu, Central Africa pigmies, in East you have Nilotics & Cushites, in the south the Khoisan and in the North Berber or the Amazigh.
Somali people are indigenous to East Africa, like other Cushitic speaking nations. Africa is not synonymous with Bantu.
ADAL EMPIRE
Nice, but what is their story pre-Islam?
Well Somalis believe they only became Somalis after Islam. They don’t claim the history before Islam just like they don’t claim Somali people who leave Islam because they believe religion and ethnicity is tied together.
The land of punt and the ancient Egyptians are somali histories
I heard ancient Somalia used to worship a god called waaq there’s even a city till today called caabud-waaq meaning worship waaq
Somalis are Cushites and had kingdoms like the Ajuran empire . We ruled all over East Africa before colonial invasion . We had our way of living peacefully until the invasion of the Portuguese and British.

Unfortunately "music and dance " occupy a big space in Somalian way of life. Without the shipments of aid flowing into Mogadishu to be commandeered by war lords, Somalians would starve. .Music and dance has its place in culture but work to produce food for the population is a primary duty

Islam is against dance & music. Then why mostly muslims peoples follow there culture which promotes dance & music.
