The socotrans are actually an ancient Semitic race, who have their own language which is close to Southern arabic, and Amharic, they arent african. The Omani Africans are just descendants of coastal East African slaves.

I agree :lol:

Given the rate were killing our wild life, burning our threes and etc. I suspect in 40 years Somalia will become mini desert. Lets just hope we don't kill each other over desert then; Somalis :down:
