Aaden Cadde iyo C/llaahi Ciise waa gartay, sadexda kale taloow yee ahaayeen?

 

Eebba ha u raxmado halyeeydii geeriyootay.

 

Wax kale kula yaabay Soomaalidii hore and sidee sharp dressers u ahaan jireen, siiba Marxuum C/llaahi Ciise Max'uud. Sawiradiisa dhan, he was sharp.

 

He was a sharp thinker, too. I just remembered an article he once penned. Let me post it now.

^ :D ,are you refering to the 'Abu Mansuur's and co .Salwar Khameez's..

 

Interesting though,each era and its influence is shown through the attire worn by people. For example,the colonial past,the man MMA mentioned was dressed similarly to how perhaps those in Milan or London would dress at that time - in order to be seen equal one had to assimilate,this meant speaking the language,dressing alike etc. Now we have the Al-shabaab with their affiliation with the Afghanistans and Pakistanis - we see Somalis with Salwar Khameez/Burqa..

 

Oh,and during Siad era the Kaunda/safari suits were the norm - ah,socialist/pan africanist era?

 

OLOL, loved the pictures.
