They were more likey Djiboutians than Somalis. French had no access to the land of Somalia in the late 19th century. But nevertheless, the photos shows an advanced people with their women decorated as much as the French women themselves. Look at the amount of pearls and ornaments on the woman. The turban head was fashionable and deemed exotic in the 18th and 19th century. I say, they fair out well. I mean, we cannot attribute Somalis or djiboutians with the same level of civilization, but looking at its content or context as a traditional authentic people - the photo actually honor Somalis than caricature. Being in a zoo or not, that irrelevant.
so you'd rather just bury your head in the sand than want to avenge your ancestors. I guess you aren't isaaq mise dhulbahante. all i know is as a dulbahante, that coulda been one of my ancestors they had in a cage like an animal.Tanker wrote:You are trying to give us the same Cuqdad as the Bantus suffers from but our message is NO !we were never slaves

do you even know what they used to do to get their hair like that? they would fill the hair with butter so it can be pressed down? watch the 4:44 mark of this video. its shows how the afar do it and I guess thats how old school somalis did it too.Oxidant wrote:![]()

I actually like the poster. The Somalis look fierce, noble and wild. They look much better than the fragile, weak looking Somalis of today.
Why is it that the Somali men of old grew their hair long like Afars of today? But the modern Somali insist on following the Blacks cutting their hair short and lining it up.

you seriously can't believe that. what would nomads in the 1800s want with money? did money even exist in somalia back then? why would they agree to have their families ripped outta the only land they know to go to some foreign country to entertain some white skin people? how do we know they even returned to somalia?Ismail87 wrote:Actually I am Dhulbahante.
