The Cushitic Peoples are a group of ethnic communities primarily found in the Horn of Africa, particularly in countries like Ethiopia, Somalia, and Kenya. They speak languages belonging to the Cushitic branch of the larger Afro-Asiatic language family. These groups include the Oromo, Somali, and Afar peoples, each with distinct cultures and traditions. Cushitic societies are often pastoralist or agro-pastoralist, relying on livestock and agriculture for their livelihoods. They have rich oral traditions and social structures that emphasize clan and family ties. The Cushitic Peoples have a significant influence on the cultural and political landscape of the region.
