The Socotra Archipelago Island - "A Refueling Station for Somali Pirates?"

Post by gegiroor »



:D

Fyi, at some point we used to have a claim on these Islands. The language spoken in this island is very close to Somali, and Somalis are considerable minority within the population in that island. Nevertheless, it is a great place for tourism.

Here is more information on this island:

Insha'Allah at some point in the future. Right now, Yemen is in upheaval, and since this Island is controlled by Yemen, we should wait and see until Yemeni civil war is settled.

The Socotri speak a Semitic language, it is closer to Arabic than to Somali.

There are Bantu slaves on that island, just like most Arab countries. Those are NOT the natives. Ethnic Socotri do NOT look African, those are their slaves.

What's next, claim Bantus in Somalia are ethnic Somali? Get a grip.

These are pure ethnic Socotris:

They are clearly of Arab origin (ethnic Socotri).

Most Arab countries are like 5% Bantu from Zanzibar. Those Negroes you see in the Arab world are Zanj slaves, not the natives.

That is like posting Jareers from Jamaame and claiming them to be pure ethnic Somalis. LOL Get out of here.

Many Swahili slaves have been dropped off on Socotra, don't confuse them with the natives.

Those are indeed ethnic Socotri and actually look it.

But the ones with nappy hair, broad mouthes, and flat noses are BANTUS!!!!

They have many Bantus on that island.
