Lost Somali People - Gurage

Post by CilmiDoone »

I was talking to my Gurage friend and the name of their people does not even have a meaning in their language. But in Somali:

Gurage = Guur Raagay = The People Who travel far.

A long lost Somali people :dj:

Gurages can't be Somalis. Don't even think we've anything in common with them. They're some minority tribes who are under the gumeysi hand of Ethio like Somalis in Ethio and Oromos. But they're business people, more like the Indians of Ethiopia, and are among the wealthiest people in that country.
