Jacaylbaro Posted April 20, 2011 In the south of Somalia exists a people who have experienced discrimination and abuse for centuries. They are the Somali Bantu, and few know their story. The Somali Bantus live in the region of the Juba and Shabelle rivers. They have been there since the time of the Arab slave trade, when their ancestors were taken as slaves from Tanzania. The total population is unknown, but may number up to one million. Since their arrival in the Somali territories, they have been exploited, socially outcast, and subject to various abuses.
