How somali elders used to dress

[Colonel]

shoes must be worn by all there is no problem in that and it is also normal to wear trousers under your khamis as a macaawis is always at risk of falling off however the rest of the attire is islamically compatible & excellent.

let me get this, it's okay to wear Arab clothes not Islamic don't get the two confused, but when they wear European clothes it's a problem.
quite the fascinating logic you have buddy.

it was a joke son chill

[kambuli]

All Sultans, Garaadis, Isim, Malaaq etc etc used to dress like that

LOL@someone who said Michael is dressed like Christian... He was Christian but he didn't do what many socalled Muslims are doing to their country....

[Arabmann]

executive, this thread doesnt show what traditional somalis dressed like. you are showing odayaal oo gaalada tuuto u geliyeen, not the true lamagoodle like this man

I think the guy in the picture is Geledi, Shirib's people. I think the Geledi are riverine people, not geeljire, so they wouldn't qualify as true lamagoodle.

His background was not mentioned anywhere, how can you know? Even if he is Geledi, the Geledi did have nomads. This man has the afro, the go'yaal etc he is no different from this guy who is clearly a geeljire,

I remember I posted the source of the picture several years ago:

I think you could be right that some Geledis were/are nomads.

This is how I understood it Somalis were categorised into 2 back then:

Wadaad
Waranle

Wadaad could mean traditional elders and what not and I believe they wore arab attire such as thoob and cimaanmad
Waranle were the warriors and they wore laba go' aka two white garments

e.g.
