- #Afar #afarnews #afarmusic The Afar people of East Africa. Deep in the heart of the Danakil Desert, in the north-eastern corner of Ethiopia, lives a tribe of nomadic herders known as the Afar. Living in one of the most inhospitable places on earth, they are truly Africa’s toughest humans. For centuries, they have braved the scorching heat, lack of water, and volcanic activity to sustain their way of life.
Hello and welcome to this video where we take a closer look at the Afar people, one of the indigenous ethnic groups of the Horn of Africa.
Geographical Location & Demographics.
The Afar people are primarily found in the Afar region of Ethiopia, as well as in neighbouring Eritrea and Djibouti. According to recent estimates, the total Afar speaking population is around 4.5 million people. They are Cushites and bear a remarkable similarity to Somalis both physically and linguistically. They are Cushitic and speak the Afar language, which to my ears bears remarkable similarity to Somali. (Insert sample.)
Phenotype.
The Afar like most Cushitic groups are tall, slender and dark complexioned. Their hair is curly and both Afar men and women like to keep it long and flowing, which I personally like. The women are very beautiful and like to adorn themselves with colourful head jewellery as well as long flowing elegant dresses. They really look cool.
History & Culture.
The Afar people have a rich cultural heritage, with a long history dating back to the ancient times. They have their own language, Afar, and follow a unique set of customs and traditions. The Afar people are predominantly Sunni Muslims, but there are also a significant number of Christians and traditional religious practitioners among them.
Lifestyle & Economic Activities.
The Afar people are nomadic pastoralists, which means that they move with their herds of livestock in search of water and pasture. They are also known for their salt-mining activities, with some Afar communities having a long history of extracting and trading salt.
Societal Structure & Gender Roles.
The Afar society is organized into clans and is patriarchal in nature, with men typically holding the positions of power and decision-making. However, Afar women play a crucial role in the economy and often participate in trading activities, livestock management, and household responsibilities.
Political & Social Challenges.
Despite their rich cultural heritage and traditions, the Afar people face several political and social challenges. In Ethiopia, for example, the Afar region is one of the least developed in the country and has faced persistent poverty, political marginalization, and conflict with neighbouring ethnic groups.
Conservation Efforts & Tourism.
The Afar people have a unique and fragile ecosystem, with unique landscapes and wildlife. There have been efforts to conserve this environment, and the area is slowly becoming a popular tourist destination for those interested in adventure and eco-tourism.
The Afar's way of life is under threat. Climate change, political instability, and resource depletion are all taking a toll on their ability to sustain themselves in the desert. And their ancient culture, rich in tradition and history, is at risk of being lost forever.
In conclusion, the Afar people are a rich and fascinating ethnic group with a long history and unique cultural heritage. They are the guardians of the Danakil Desert, and their story is a testament to the human spirit's ability to survive and thrive in the face of adversity. It's a story that needs to be told, and a culture that needs to be preserved.

They are beautiful people,it’s great seeing them being proud of who they are and willing to preserve their way of life.
Indeed they are.
Because they are the ancient egyptians
Africa is an amalgamation of two words. Afar and ricca. The Afar are a Cushitic people who live in North East Africa. Their folklore says they once lived in Egypt during the times of the pharaohs. Indeed, in those ancient times Egypt extended from the north African Mediterranean coast to Puntland in East Africa. You can Google "images of the Afar people" to see how much they resemble the images of the murals in ancient Egyptian and Sudanic tombs and temples. It is the Romans who coined the name Africa meaning the rich land of the Afar. Much like America is an amalgamation of the name Amerigo, the Italian explorer and ricca, Costa Rica, Puerto Ricco etc.
If you learn more history you will realize they are among the tribes of people who are the ancient Egyptians.

They are so gorgeous. Their attire and sword dance is so similar to Saudi Bedouins.
Do you have any idea once in the past that middle east were an african land.
The afar are the indomitable lion of the horn of Africa whose bravery and battle prowess are unparalleled,a courteous and cordial people who defend their identity and believe with utmost vitality and verve that borders a religious zeal.
Respect from kenyan Cushite to fellow brothers and sisters of the northeastern Africa
Well put . The his of Afar people needs to be exploited more. The Afar are indeed warriors.
Well put . The history of Afar people needs to be exploited more. The Afar are indeed warriors.
I wish this woud be true but in reality they are subjugated in all the countrys they live and can‘t defend themselves along with a backward nomadic way of life they are losing population and ground more and more they can barely read
@@stephanieadams9702 absolutely...afar tribe have a fascinating history and should be told
At around 13 I read Sir Wilfred Thesiger's book on his travels in Arabia, Sudan and Ethiopia... and I have been captivated by all these people since... Good looking, resourceful and brave
These people are attractive and they LOOK very interesting ~ Multi ethnic... There are two towns on the border of southern Egypt ~ One is Afar ~ The other is Away ~ Perhaps the origin of these English words. I know how to spell and pronounce the Egyptian word for BELIEF in Hiroglyphics ~ You put a picture of a bee next to a picture of a leaf and you say BEE ~ LEAF ! This is true. We also get our word DESERT ~ from DESERET the dry lands OF KEMET the name for ancient Egypt ~ And the Name of Chemistry comes from KEMET ~
lower egypt afar and upper egypt somali which unified
Afarka
"Afar" isn't pronounced how westerns pronounce it. The necessary sound to properly pronounce "Afar" is not present in the English language.
Afar is pronounced with the sound ʿayn found in related Cushitic languages like Saho Af, Af Somali, Afaan Oromo, and local semitic languages like Af Tigrigna & Af Amharignna.
This sound is also percent in Arabic & represented by the letter ع.
Not to mention the "r" in Afar is pronounced with rolling the r. Something also not found in English!
When Afar is properly pronounced, it sounds nothing like the English term for something very distant.
They all are so beautiful
Saho❤afar
Beautiful and handsome set of people
Great video. The music touched my soul. I would love to know the name of the song and/or the Artist.

Very true
They so beautiful 😍 I like their culture they look like ancient Egyptians.
They don't look, but they are😁
Just say you're racist. The Egyptians were a dark ppl stop trying to lighten them up.
@KEEZE No the Ancient Egyptians were black and brown
@@ashlibabbittcroakedit9108 what is the origin of brown? can you precisely explain what type of shade is brown. Because in brown you have different shades? Since when human have become a color??? we are talking about melanin here. The original people are related beings. Or other race are none of origin. Study History or the writings on walls.
Ancient egyptian were somali there language , faces and cultures were the same as somali and they said their origin land were the punt area were the somali live today, but somali afar oromo are all kushitic cousins!
Great video ❤️❤️
They are part of the lost in-exile Egyptians who have been scattered throughout Africa, look at their attire very close to Kemet/Egyptian even their hair.
Can you do the saho people next since both are Eritrea and have similarities
they are same people
They’re Cushitic they are our cousins
The Asawurta (Saho), Afar, Somali are the same people.
@@stephanieadams9702 they look a bit different from somalis but they do look very simular
@@mrprince5934 Can you pinpoint where their look is different?
They live in Djibouti and Eritrea as well.
No they don't
@@iiamwiloThey do
@@iiamwilo yes we do mostly in tadjourah,Djibouti
@@aadoytaI'm researching Afar history, I have a question. Was Mohamed Yayyo a dictator?? All the sources says that he sold himself to the italians and changed sides
Beautiful People 🥰Oromo & Afar are brothers KUSH people ✌🏾& they have very similar culture with our Kereyu & Welloo Oromo’s ❤️🍀❤️✌🏾

Beautiful black people Culture. And history is what shapes us
I like their music, I wish to visit them
The Afro Asiatic Language family began on the Horn of Africa. That’s Cushitic,Semitic, Chadic and (original) indigenous Egyptian language (formerly Hamitic) branches.
Fact.❤
Kushtic not semetic
@@gae1259 You misunderstood me. I know that the Afar are Cushitic people. Cushitic is a sub-branch of the greater AfroAsiatic Language Family . Semitic is just another branch of that same greater language family.
And lybico-berber.
Beautiful habits 😍
Danke Bro❤❤❤❤❤
Of course ancient Egyptians were cushitic now living from oromiya,somaliya,afari community living in Djibouti Ethiopia and Eritrea,Burundi,north Sudan,Uganda,chad and Burundi they are quite a living legendary pharhos
Thank you for this beautiful Afar people. Btw, Afar are all Muslim.
Greetings from Somaliland.

@@poorindiansanddogsarenotal1276
No it isn't
And never will
Also never saw someone want to be from zoomalia
@@doctor66930 it was it is now and it will forever be part of somalia and there is nothing you can change about it
@@poorindiansanddogsarenotal1276
Why you mad though
Just come to somaliland and say that infront of the society there
And let us see if it work or not 🤦🏿♂️
So far everything i saw or heard is similar to Somali people definitely.

Africa is an amalgamation of two words. Afar and ricca. The Afar are a Cushitic people who live in North East Africa. Their folklore says they once lived in Egypt during the times of the pharaohs. Indeed, in those ancient times Egypt extended from the north African Mediterranean coast to Puntland in East Africa. You can Google "images of the Afar people" to see how much they resemble the images of the murals in ancient Egyptian and Sudanic tombs and temples. It is the Romans who coined the name Africa meaning the rich land of the Afar. Much like America is an amalgamation of the name Amerigo, the Italian explorer and ricca, Costa Rica, Puerto Ricco etc.
They are not cushitic
@@cbur4054 The Afar are definitely a Cushitic people. I am from North East Africa and I would definitely know.
@@cbur4054Afar are cushitic what are talking about😂😂
Africa derivates from Afri/Ifri, a lybico-berber godess.
Afar people don't call themselves Afar but Adal.
Herodotus wrote that Afar is a name given by Garamantes (a southeastern lybico-berber people) to Afar because they lived in caves.
And in garamante language, afar means who lives in caves.
Ifri is a famous drink from north-africa.
You are free to have your theory. The Afar call themselves Afar not Adal. There are no caves in north east Africa. The Berbers are of west Asian origin and they are therefore foreigners to north Africa. Why would the Romans use an obscure Berber goddess's name to describe an entire continent? The images of the Cushite Afar people are the plastered all over the murals of the Nilo Sudanese-Egyptian civilization in north east Africa.
YES PLEASE THINK YOU FOR SHOW MY BEST TRADETION
I love Afar people
Afar people are 99% Sunni Muslim. Contrary to your statement, you said there are significant amount of Christians. Can you please provide the evidence for that? Or point me to the evidence and I will look into it further. Great video btw and thank you.
Re: 03:03 people: very interesting shot. Individual the middle stands out . The other two look a bit different than the rest of the Afar in this video
We have different texture in color in feature
whats the song?
All east Africans one one apeciea. Thanks
My people!
I’m Somali my cousins Cushitic family
AFAR people & DIR people shares ll a lot of culture. Similarities can not be overstated . From Somaliland. Issaac son

These are the ancient Egyptians,ladies, and gentlemen. They dispersed and moved south after invasion of lower Egypt.
Afar people are 100% Muslims , and you will not find one afar person who is not muslim. I think you include those people who live with us and follow other religion as Afar but originally they're not Afar tribe. Thank you for making this video.

Afar my people🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
Their woman wear like oromo borana people 🥰🥰
Afar, Danakil is the same as Somalis nomadic Muslims.
Father GOD ❤ these people
My afar❤❤❤
We will continue fighting until Independents of afar people for Eritrea and Djibouti and Ethiopia .
you're not afar
Duqur makin aleya qafarah dubuuk bahtu wayta curriya mantuh
Somali and afar are same peoole simply they brothers and origin i think.
They are
Afar are the kith and kin of the Somalis,the Oromo and the Sahos.These are all Cushitic and belong to the same origin Hopefully they will one day come together and be one family as they were once centuries back in their history.
Best wishes for all of them.
