Huri

Huri refers to a group of nomadic pastoralists inhabiting parts of the Horn of Africa, primarily in Ethiopia and Djibouti. They are ethnically Cushitic and are closely related to the Somali people, with whom they share a common ancestry and linguistic roots. Historically, the Huri have been known for their cattle and camel herding, moving with their livestock in search of pasture and water. Their social structure is typically organized around clans and extended family ties, which play a significant role in their daily lives and decision-making processes.

The Huri culture is rich in oral traditions, including poetry, proverbs, and stories that are passed down through generations. Their traditional beliefs often involve a deep respect for nature and the spiritual significance of their environment. While Islam is the dominant religion among the Huri, some traditional beliefs and practices may persist. Like many nomadic groups, the Huri have faced challenges related to land rights, resource competition, and integration into modern nation-states. Efforts have been made to support their livelihoods through various development programs aimed at improving access to education, healthcare, and sustainable resource management.
