Meru i was not aware of you oral history untill now,
and it facinates me, i love a mystery...
the first one is the red people, who are not arabs, arabs did not play a big role in those days
and the Mbwa the lake, river large body of water you crossed...
There are many candidates for the name Red Men in the north, the Beja have a clan called Red Men, and so do the Afar
there are also Red men among the masalit in darfur
it may be possible that you come from meroe, but you will need to get genetic testing...
if a somali tribe Garre can end up in Chad and have president hussien habre as a decendent than anything is possible.
and meru we have zero links to the huasa/fulani though some resemble us..
