The Akhdam of Yemen

[The Nomad]

They are clearly remnants of the Arab slave trade, but where are they from? Their phenotype would indicate a Bantu origin, but when I was there the Yemenis and they themselves would insist they are Ethiopian Aksumite descendants.

Aksum was majority Sabaean (Ancient Yemenites), they even spoke a Semitic language, and the only way their appearance could be explained was if they were Gurage or Oromo and both ethnic groups were essentially absent from Aksum.

I am 80% sure they are of Bantu East African descent.

Ya Hutu, just because the names are similar it does not mean we have the same (ignoble) origin.

Do you even know what 'Jeberti' means?

Jabarti
Until recently this off shoot of lowest class of sweepers have become extinct. Living in one area, the regime through the ruling machinery which included the municipalities, would divide them into groups. In the past they used to appear late hours at night going from house to house cleaning the "zawali" (latrines). They used to be seen carrying their tin canisters on their head with a bent iron strip used for collecting wastes from unpopulated areas where 'homeless' used to go for toilet. These jabartis are not seen in many areas as most of them are believed to have immigrated.
