Zumaale,
Let's follow logic. The first Free Noncaged Skinnies were "seamen" who hailed from Waqooyi and settled in Wales. So it stands to reason that they too brought their kin to entertain their British masters. In 1904, the Konfurians were part of the Italian Empire and so would not travel freely into Britain
We have been here since 1904

Re: We have been here since 1904

TGS, this is your revenge moment for the 'What If' thread spat.

My point was that there are embarrassing things that happened to clans in the South during the colonial times that one could pick on hence why I said no one's shit smells of roses. No need to start picking on clans from a certain region.
Re: We have been here since 1904
You are pretending as though your Hawiye had only Italian masters , what about trans- Juba wasn't it a British territories till the 1920s, how about the NFD, .AbdiWahab252 wrote:Zumaale,

At least these nomads wore cloths, most of the Hawiye in particular the females from il-Benadir appeared naked with pendoluse breasts in most Italian photography.
Re: We have been here since 1904
Let me help you there , one good example was a follow from your own clan sheikh maxamed nuur, he was the mullah of the exhibit in Germany. He lived in Berlin for years till WW1 , the Germans arrested him as an enemy alien and spent four years in prison till 1917. Maria Van Till a German anthropologist wrote a Short biography of him in Somali published around 1917. He accompanied sheikh Ismaaciil Isxaaq and Cabdilaahi Shixiri to Majeertenia and the Benadir coast in 1909 to spread sheekh Maxamed Salax's letter regarding the mad mullah's explosion from the Salixiya tariqa.thegoodshepherd wrote:Let us leave the clan nameless, but all the Somalis who went to the west for exhibition in human zoos were from one clan.
Now give us an example of the mysterious clan that you alluded to.

Regarding these exhibit , they don't bother me a bit. Africans were exhibited along their mounts and live stocks, huts, wearing their traditional cloths. Easy money for these guys. They were contracted in Aden Yemen via Somali middle men and in few months they returned home with good savings.

Re: We have been here since 1904
I was just going to say that. I don't think it was called a zoo until after the pictures were taken and the Somalis left. I would like to imagine somebody would get a spear through the throat if the Somalis found out what they were actually participating in.Sophisticate wrote:The question is how can this be an offense to people who had no idea what the hell a zoo was, let alone a human one. There was obviously no informed consent. Blame the Europeans for speaking with forked tongues and their Napolean complex.

Typical cadaan and the chip on their shoulders.
