| I'm sorry i gave you the wrong link , here is another link it says they are about 5%. | |||
| You are right it could be a myth but it is still not clear and they look African for the most past. The lineage between them and south Asians groups could be a result of intermarriage. | |||
| Never mind me i think you are right but about the 5% here is the link for that . Thank you | |||

The Akhdam do have facial features, stature and general appearance quite unlike both Abyssinians and other Yemenis, but fairly similar to Negritos (who aren't from Africa).

You removed the template that asks for editors to add more references, despite the fact that this article has only one reference. Please don't do that unless the article is well-referenced, which this one clearly isn't. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dougweller (talk • contribs) 05:35, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

You removed material from this article without explanation. Given the content, I assume you removed it simply because you didn't like it, which isn't an acceptable reason. Please be more careful in the future. Dougweller (talk) 05:37, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Al-Akhdam
The small minority you mentioned does not exist in Yemen even if they do there are no statistics. As mater of fact the majority of them resides in neighboring Oman. I provided a source specigically mentions that there are 5% of the population of Ethiopian/east African origin — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kendite (talk • contribs) 01:39, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
