Talk:Shinasha people

Confused
Sienetjo is listed as a Shanqella group, yet it says their skin is of a "yellowish tint" and they are "Hamitic," which is very odd. Shanqella by definition is an Agew word refering to the very dark Nilotic people living on the western Ethiopia borderlands. Which part of this article is wrong (aside from the outdated racial terms)? &mdash; ዮም  |  (Yom)  |  Talk  • contribs • Ethiopia 20:14, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Redirect
The way the group is described I think it very likely (but not without doubt) that the EB1911 article refers to a group which is nowadays called Shinasha or Boro. I'm quite sure that the article does not talk about a group in present-day Sudan, as these people never got called Shanqella by anyone. That makes the Shinasha the most likely candidate. For lack of any better option I have now redirected to this entry. Certainly there is no group anywhere in the area which is called Sienetjo by anyone nowadays, so there really shouldn't be an article on this. I hope this is ok with everybody.
