Eastern part of the African Sahel, connecting sub-Saharan Africa with North and East Africa, play an important role as a bidirectional corridor for vertically and horizontally migrations of populations. It is the strategic region to study human genetic diversity due to the presence of ethnically, linguistically, culturally and geographically diversity. This work is focused on the analysis of HVS-I and HVS-II segments of mtDNA. The work provides new information about genetic structure and migration activity of this region by analysis twelve populations belonging to three African linguistic families and different subsistent strategies. Analysis of mtDNA revealed the higher diversity of the populations of east Sudan and Horn of Africa, which is connected with the spreading of populations along the Nile River. It seems, that in this region linguistic factors have bigger impact on genetic diversity then the geografic ones. The opposite situation is observed in populations of Chad, where populations with similiar geografic location and different linguistic affilation revealed low genetic differentiation. The intra-population analysis shows the significant influence of genetic drift on the pastoralists living on the Red Sea Coast - Beja and Rashaida. In Beja is probably due to decrease of size of...
