Anonymous,

Not only somalis, but other africans in other countries in africa are also found some who have fair skins while others have darker skin. Ethiopian and Eritrean look alike Somalian people. If you think the reason some somalis have dark skins and other light skin is becaue prophet's companion migrated to somalia, what about Ethiopian and Eritrean people in ethiopia and eritrea? I know many somalis who have mixed. Somali/Arab----shaanshi. Somali/Italian--misiyooni.

That's the way allah created them, and it says in the quran allah created people with different colours so that they reflect.

Salamu calaykum

It has always been my understanding that some somali people have light skin colour and soft hair due to inter marriage with arabs, italians, portugees and indians... there were even chinese road builders in parts of somalia at one point...

Let us appretiate the diversity... alhamdullilah

In my eyes though we all still look too alike and fear the constant in-breeding that takes place... so called "keeping it in the tribe" policy

:)

What next?
