Just like somalis the afar are divided but by class: dark skinned vs light skinned
Dark skinned afar and light skinned al danaakil
Dark skinned look down to the light skinned because they do the low class jobs.
Beja are related to them though they split in the ancient times and have different languages.

I don't know where to start with this
Thanks ustaad jamac for shadding light on their historical backgroundsJames Dahl wrote:The Reds are the old Afar nobility from the Sultanate of Adal, it's "Awsa Imara" men of Awsa. The Mudaito overthrew the Imamate of Awsa and established their own Sultanate there in the 17th century. The Whites are the Ado Imara, derived from the Somali word Adoon, or Slave. The Afars were once quite prolific raiders and the Ado Imara are quite likely the descendants of various snatched highland peoples.
Both of those words are Somali origin from Adal, today people prefer "Reds" and "Whites" I guess.
If that's not beating you over the head enough, the "Reds" also refer to themselves as Adal.
Macalinka I don't know if you have another abtirsi forum that includes other non somali clans but I know that you have done research on the amirs and sultans of the horn muslim states generally so excuse this ardey who had different mucalimiin.James Dahl wrote:I suppose so, but Danakil aren't Adoimara, Danakil is from Dankali, one of the clans of the Asaimara.
You are right that q in Qafar = c in af-Somali = ع in Arabic, but this is an important point because 'white' if Afar is 'Qado' like Somali 'Cad'.
