Reality Check Posted November 4, 2003 Maybe that would explain why Somalis still treat Bantu-Somalis the way they do...**shrug** Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Che -Guevara Posted November 4, 2003 Well, somalis were not very active in slave trade, but they did sold, and own slaves. N also somali expansionism towards west (ogaden) n south resulted in the enslavement of natives. Someone actually once told me ogaden somalis owned slaves as late as the 60s. The present day bantu-somalis are mix of original local bantus, and the slaves brought by the Arabs n Europeans. It is sad we didn't incorparate in them into the somali society and treat like true citizens that they are, but agian ethnic somalis can't even stand each other , let alone others.
