Same heading same story


The earlier thread was full of noise from kina moral prefects n gang. Neither was it conclusive.

WHICH ARE THESE 42 tribes we keep hearing about?

so if it was full of noise what will stop this one from going the same way? if it was not conclusive why not conclude the discussion there? that thread is still open. why copy stuff from there and paste them here instead of continuing the discussion there?

I tried merging most of the factual comments from both threads on post 20, maybe some facts are still missing.

ANOTHER LIE
Gabbra, Borana, Dasenach, Burji, Galla are independent tribes very different from Somalis, culturally and religiously. Merille in Kenya is a name of a town (between Archers-Serolipi and Laisamis) and not a tribe (tribe is ethiopian called murulle).

Agreed. Didn't scrutinize that one much. I also have misgivings with the kalenjin list.

Quote:
Wasanye are a small tribe who dont like interacting with people...more or less like bushmen. They should be around 500 and they speak their language. If they see u first then u dont stand the slightest chance of seeing them. They live in Tana River, mostly fishermen. It is believed that if u see one early in the morning your day is f***ed up!!
