You are hypothesising.
I'm only going off the data I see.
On FTDNA, there are a handful of Middle Easterners that are E-V32 and this is reflected in academic studies.
I'm not disputing that. It's obvious V32 is not big compared to other haplogroups.
There is not enough evidence to connect them with any Arab tribal group tribal either.
I didn't mention that.
Furthermore, there is a question mark over what the SNP of the first group of Somalis is in the FTDNA link you provided is, it has not been identified as Y17750.
It's most likely Y17750- and Z813-. I made the group. I myself am Y17750-. You'd have to sign in to see mine and others' results.
The SNP's of the Beja, Tigre, Fur Masalit, Maasai, Oromos and some Bantus also needs to also be investigated so as to identify the possible links between them and Somali E-V32 carriers.
No doubt.
What if Y17750 is common among the Northern Cushites/Semites for instance?
What we know is that V32 in Somalis is approx. 4000 years old, arising approx. 9000 years ago in or around egypt. This TMRCA number will not change drastically for the ethnicities that neighbour us. It is much more likely that Y17750 split off and went into the arabian peninsula. From yemen to qatar to jordan, all those that have tested downstream of V32 are Y17750+. All somalis tested downstream of V32 are Y17750-. Only 1 Kuwaiti I have seen on FTDNA that is Y28701+, parent of Y17750 (he is on YFull). Egypt is a different story with a mix of Y17750 and Z813, further strengthening that fact V32 arose there.
Could the handful of E-V32's in the Arabian peninsular be the result of the historical Abyssinian presence in Arabia?
As you probably know V32 is not very common in 'Abyssinia' anyway, apart from (Southern) Oromos, and even they carry a lot of J. How deep did the slave traders penetrate in to modern-day Ethiopia and Eritrea? Not very deep, I'd guess.
