Not only is it hot, but it's also very humid with dew points into the 80s at times. This is THE most extreme hot climate on earth, no one should ever have to live and work in that.

Actually Somalis would be more the relatives of the ancient Egyptians if you consider the Haplogroup E1b1b1.This Haplogroup originated in the horn of Africa and spread to North Africa and Southern Europe and the people who carry that marker the most are the Somalis therefore making them more likely of all the cushitic people to have been the ancestors of the ancient Egyptians. www.thegeneticatlas.com/E1b1b1_Y-DNA.htm

Sam T, you are so right. Ethiopia is currently under emergency military rule because people all over the country revolted over the corruption and brutality of the minority TPLF regime. Corrupt government officials appropriate huge swath of land and give to private companies in return for bribe money. The people are tired of getting shafted over and over again.

Anudeep AP I am saying that it's ridiculous that after thousands of years that these people are still stuck in the stone age. Look at the civilized world and look at all that has been done in the last hundred years, then look at these people who have been there for thousands of years and there's no progress been made into the 21st century.
