Understanding The Afar People (INTERESTING)

[Oxy-]

Afar are an ethnic group in the Horn of Africa who reside principally in the Danakil Desert in the Afar Region of Ethiopia, as well as in Eritrea and Djibouti. They number 1,276,374 people in Ethiopia.


There was a documentary I watched (briefly, cuz I missed a bit)... I couldn't stop thinking of how strikingly similar these people look to Somalis.

The way they look, dress and behave completely Somali !! ... It focused on a small village... a group of people in a small community.




One of the things that made Me THINK was when the white man asked the little boy what the name of the goat was called.... and the boy replied :

His name is AFASA

when asked the translation, AFASA means RED MOUTH.... Say this in Somali and we call it AF-CASI right ?




Another time, 1 man was pointing at a woman carrying water and said GABAH - translation = woman
In Somali we call it GABAD ...??





The 3rd n final time a mother was suckling her baby and I overheard another woman ask her about breastfeeding when she uttered the word NAYES...


What are u thinking right now... ?







Naas right


SO was I !!





But am not 2sure whether Naas in Somali means breast or Nipple (can some 1 clear that up 4me)






Anyways... these people must have originated from Somalia a thousand years ago and then probably moved to Ethiopia... that's what I think

Are you telling me you've never heard of Afar people?

They are closely related to Somalis and Oromos. But they are more pure since Oromos are Habesh, Arab and Bantu and Somalis are Arab and Bantu fucked.

They are beautiful, them and Saho are pure tribes.

Afar are the lost tribe of Dir

They are calling themselves Red Mouth because those ones are from the Red tribe which are considered the rulers. Most people have no clue that Afar have something in common with Indians which is a caste system. But they are great people and the only ethnic group in ethiopia who werent disarmed after melez came to power. they are known to be ruthless.

Afar sounds like very broken Somali so does Oromo. If you listen carefully you could understand them or atleast understand the subject they are talking about.

I have a Bilen friend (Bilen are Cushitic people from Eritrea) and sometimes if he speaks his native language I always find some words I understand (non-Arabic)

1/3 of the Afar speakers along Djibouti and Eritrea are Nouh Cumar. The Somali ethnicity is diffentely a confederacy.

Why do you share your cities with midgaans

[dawwa9]

Why do people reply/comment oldenlish?


Let him live in his fantasy world were the GDP per capita of Sanaag is 98.000 British pounds (not even USD!) and the Warsangelis don't look like Somalis but heavily mixed Northern Indians

[paidmonk]

Its like using Microsoft Speech, pointless and childish but very entertaining.

[oldenglish]

You use Puntland for leverage, Warsangeli people stand alone

[dawwa9]

- Majerteen are midgaan a mix between Oromos and Tanzanians
- Warsangelis are nobel royals
- Warsangelis number in the 10.000.000 and up
- There are only 15.000 Majerteens on this planet
- Bosaso is a Warsangeli city, half of Bari is
- Warsangelis are extremly light bollywood look-a-likes
- Every Warsangeli can buy a NYSE-listed company, they have that much money

We have to live by his rules

I must vouch for my country men Oldenglish, Canfar aka Dankali are indeed Tuna Heads.
