Yet again incorrect statement. Take a hike to Djibouti and lets see if Afars are warlike or not? The same can be said about the Beja.

Huh?

The Beja were well known as fierce and cruel warriors throughout their long history. Kipling made them famous in the west by describing them as the "Fuzzie-Wuzzies" in his poem on the Mahdi wars in the Sudan. Beja men arrange their curly hair in a distinctly bushy Afro style, wear long white cotton cloaks and carry a crusader-type sword and a round shield.

I dont care whether they live in Djibouti or Sudan, if they are 'Beja', then they are fierce
