Lol@ losing our culture. We're losing our lifes, the last thing we care about is the culture, who btw put us in the posistion we find us in.
So speaking for all xamari folks in the house, F'ck the somali culture and everything it represents.

Besides, Niiko is a national dance and should be preserved

[barakaboy10]

Since when has this become somali traditional clothing?





I feel sorry for the residents of Moagdishu, they are slowly being bantuized. From welcoming muslim foreign dignitaries with ass shaking to wearing dashikis at a formal event.

who the hell is she anyway?

and i think you have a point here. i don't understand why they use old women to welcome foreign guests in Mogadishu. i think it is one of the last remnants of the barre's government and should be discontinued. it doesn't do any good for anybody, except to present our culture in a bad way.

She's government official and a seasoned politician, that's who she is and we aint in Saudi Arabia we're in Somalia, Africa.

Better get used to seeing female government officials welcoming foreign male dignitaries cuz it sure aint a temporary arrangement.

sorry to disappoint you but that's not the Somalia i am envisioning. besides, that dress looks ugly on her and it only obscured her identity as a Somali woman. not knowing what i know now, i would have guessed her, not as being a Somali, but a Liberian or Nigerian. you put that dress on, you no longer represent Somali women but west African.

we have a distinct culture and we ought to keep it that way.

i don't care if she's a government official or not.

You asked the question remember.

As for the dress she's wearing it's not new to Somalia, Avicenna explained it in detail, there's no need to get in to it.


There she's again wearing the lime green african dress


The majority of the women are wearing buljis, and they hail from different Somali regions. These women work in Somalia, they're doctors, government officials, businesswomen, NGO workers, and intellectuals.

As for what you envision, no one gives a rats @ss.

I don't think it's considered polite to poke fun at the dress of a woman who's old enough to be your mother.

Furthermore, her fashion isn't new to Mogadishu or even Somalia. She's wearing African dress or a fly dress which was all the rage in the late 80s for anyone who remembers or has seen pics/videos of that era. Such outfits were/are considered more professional than the dirac and abaya you think are somehow more Somali, when neither are. It used to be considered a sign of badownimo to be parading around in formal settings wearing dirac. In addition, Somalia is in Africa, making African dresses more appropriate than polyster abayas and wool suits imported from other continents. If this was an attempt at negating Mogadishu residents, I'm afraid you failed in that attempt. Mogadishu residents are no more embarrassing than Hargeisa residents. If anything, they have always been very resilient and progressive compared to the clan enclaves people like you hail from.

Vive Mogadishu.

why are you inserting clan and all that other stuff here?! no one is poking fun at this old and confused lady. personally, i don't care who she is or what she stands for but the fact is that she's leaving her Somali traditional dress in the closet and she's wearing an alien dress doesn't just want me to question her wisdom but her political agenda, too. is she one of the so-called feminist? or those who think wearing hijab is awkward? in any case, she's ugly.

our women are Muslim and therefore need to cover all of their body, except the face and hands. if you are implying that you don't like women who wear abayas from Arab countries, i suggest you stay where you live now because in Somalia you won't have much choice.

viva Somali culture

all are beautiful except the ones wearing African dresses and the naked ones---the two on the right ( below picture)

under Islam, certain restriction apply to women. one of this restriction is that women cannot be in a leadership position (higher office, i.e. president, pm). they can work at hospitals, for ngos or universities but they can't run for office. but staying at home and taking care of the children is better for them.

one more thing: don't be so naive to think that women will be something in Somalia!!! don't get me wrong and i don't mean to disrespect my mothers but that's the true reality in Somalia. and honestly, i have no problem with that.

[arabmtu]

I'm more outraged by the men's Western suits. I'm baffled by how none has a problem with those suits.

Grandpa you do know that there are millions of Muslims all around Africa that wear those kinda clothes

[Jaidi]

Google image Muslim West Africa dress, and the first results you get are dresses like the one the women is wearing.

Are Muslims in West Africa not authentic enough for you?

I'd rather have our women wearing this type of clothing instead of those dreadful niqabs and jilbaabs. We need to get on with the 21st century and wear some enlightening clothing, not some 7th century Arabian apparel.
