Pretty typical I would say from the other Somali results I've seen.

I expected somalis to get some arab but it looks like 23andme only considers your recent ancestry.

Here's a somali gedmatch(different person). Result is quite mixed.

Because the reference Population is Somali it includes their non recent Arabian ancestry. Genetically they can be described as 50% Bantu 50% Southern Arabian like

Accurate, if the person is indeed 93.2% Somali or close to it.
