Tribal Somalia

Published by dharokowns in Trivia

The first indigenous groups in Somalia were the Somali and the Bantu.

I think that some facts about Tribal Somalia are:

  • The first indigenous groups in Somalia were the Somali and the Bantu

    -Somalians make up 85% of the population    -Bantu and non-Somalians make up 15% of the population

  • The Somalis are nomadic people and descend from Africa’s equatorial lakes. 
  • Within the Somali tribe are two distinct tribal clans: the Samaal and the Saab. The Samaal are nomadic while the Saab are primarily farmers.
  • Due to the location of Somalia and the Middle East, the religion of Somalia is largely Muslim.
  • Although the small Bantu population was a

     minority, and have been mistreated and      rejected, they have been able to retain      tribal culture.
