Are there any Bantu (Jareer) in Horn of Africa?

Yes, there are Bantu communities in the Horn of Africa, also known as the Jareer people or Afro-Somali. The Jareer are descendants of Bantu people who migrated from southern Africa to the eastern coast of Africa over a thousand years ago. They settled in various parts of the Horn of Africa, including southern Somalia, eastern Ethiopia, and northeastern Kenya.

In Ethiopia, the Jareer people are mainly found in the southern region, particularly in the Oromia and Somali regions. They have faced similar challenges to the Jareer people in Somalia, including discrimination and lack of access to education, healthcare, and other basic services.
In Somalia, the Jareer people are primarily found in the Lower Shabelle and Middle Shabelle regions, where they make up a significant portion of the population. They have their own distinct culture, language, and traditions, and have faced significant discrimination and marginalization in Somalia due to their Bantu origins.
