Hussar Posted November 30, 2020 Hello, I am currently researching the Egyptian Hakim rifle and am trying to uncover its history in Somalia. https://so.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xakiim_(qori). Does anyone who has lived in Somalia here recognize the rifle? If you have any family members who were in the military, do they recognize it? I know there are pictures of it from during the war and after, but I need more information. I am trying to figure out when they came into Somalia. Was it a long time before the war with Ethiopia, right before, or during the war? Perhaps all? Here is an old news story about Egypt sending Somalia weapons during the war, so I know they are all possibilities. https://www.nytimes.com/1978/02/17/archives/ethiopia-accuses-egypt-little-more-than-gesture.html Thank you!

Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted December 1, 2020 If that Wiki page does not help you, I don't think anyone on here can. Why the particular interest for this rifle, though? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
