Shanqella

Shanqella

Shanqella (Ge'ez ሻንቅላ "šānḳillā" sometimes spelled Shangella; also referred to as Negroids) is an Ethiopian term (originally an Agaw term) used to refer to a number of ethnic groups residing primarily in the western most part of Ethiopia (from the border of Eritrea to Lake Turkana [http://www.africa.upenn.edu/eue_web/abysinia.htm] ) and who constitute about 1% of Ethiopia's population. The term is used derogatorily by Highland Ethiopians referring to darker-skinned Ethiopians, mostly those with a Nilo-Saharan ethnic background, but also a few with Omotic backgrounds, such as the Sheko.
