The Somali Bantu (also called Jareer Gosha or Mushunguli) are an ethnic minority group in Somalia who primarily reside in the southern part of the country near the Juba and Shabelle rivers. They are descendants of people from various Bantu ethnic groups most of whom were captured from southeast Africa and sold into slavery in Somalia and other areas in Northeast Africa and Asia as part of the 19th century Arab slave trade.
