Its published in French so its almost certainly taken in the Djibouti region.......I'd say they're most likely Ciise or Gadabursi.

'Background info' is a code word for the man's qabiil. Probably the only time ever a Nineteen Century white zoologist neglected to attach a sub-clan name to a Skinny photo, and this is obviously pissing off Xplayer, SomNet's most infamous qabiil-junky.

Are you still whining about white people like some Caribbean slave decedents ? what is it with Daarood and bitching about white people? where did your daddy Afweyne the biggest African pimp ever fought or cared about white people?

It might be in French but these pictured are not Ciise or Afar. The dress of Ciise was different from most somalis ,

Perhaps the attire was changing.....at the back end of the 19th century the US was flooding the region with cotton.......replacing British imports.
