They have their own language ... perhaps 9 different variations and look like Ethiopian tribesmen. They live in round houses made from cattleskins stretched over a wooden frame and they hunt and raise cattle and camels... thousands of them... They are extremely fierce and it is said they look like they could go to war in an instant. Being purple and very fit as well as incredibly brave and fierce they make brilliant soldiers.

Salaam Wajah,

oh ok I know those people. They are Harasiis, and some Jeneba, Mahra.
I got confused for a sec. The Duru live in the North-Central region near UAE, next to the Awamiir.

Thank You very much Sir, for the clarification.
