GAY AFRICA TAKE OVER: Botswana decriminalises homosexuality

[Basra]

Lool, yes let’s.


'In 1330, the Arab traveler Ibn Battuta wrote of Somalia's thriving cloth industry: "In this place [Benaadir] are manufactured the unequalled woven fabrics named after it, which are exported from there to Egypt and elsewhere." A crossroads between Africa and the Middle East, Somalia was a pivot-point of trade, linking ports from Egypt to India. Her capital of Mogadishu sits on the Indian Ocean, 1,300 kilometers (800 miles) from the Gulf of Aden and equidistant from Cairo, Baghdad and the trading cities of India's southwestern coast. It was once a major entrepôt of the trade in spices, aromatic gums, ivory and textiles... The fields of the Jubaland Plain were polka-dotted with cotton plants, and Somalis produced over 350,000 pieces of cloth annually from the fertile ground...


Using locally grown vegetable dyes such as saffron and imported dyed yarns from India and Pakistan, Somali weavers began in the late 1950's to weave brilliant reds, blues, yellows, blacks, and purples into their futas and guntinos, giving their people traditional cloths to use for marriages, funerals, furniture, war dancing, and everyday farming. Weavers invented dozens of patterns with names like "teeth" and "goats in the sand dunes" that have become standards and today are worn in major ceremonies and the religious festivities that keep the national spirit of this Islamic stronghold alive...


The weaver first takes the dyed yarn in 24 batches of eight-meter (26-foot) lengths, each tied together and marked with spittle and kohl. He dunks them into a sizing of flour and water to make the fibers stiff and strong. Then, in a stretching method called darisi, the threads are wrapped from one strategically placed vertical stick in the building to another, and left to dry like a long L-shaped blanket. When the yarn has dried, it is wound onto a wooden spindle called the furfure, then unwound and tied into the heddle loops, following the color pattern indicated by loose strings on the bamboo heddle. The weaver affixes the heddle to the loom and stretches the threads of the new warp out behind the loom to a single iron hook set in the floor seven and a half to eight meters (24 to 26 feet) away. There all the warp threads are gathered into one fat knot, tied to a length of rope, and attached to the hook. The other end of the rope is led back to the weaver's seat. As weaving progresses and cloth is wound onto the cloth beam, the warp is fed toward the loom, anchoring it to the hook each time with a new knot farther down the rope... To meet the challenge of changing fashion they are helping to change the way women wear their cloth... Steadfast and adaptable, he shuttles weft into warp with whatever thread he has available, and keeps his feet firmly in the pit beneath his loom, whether it is in his own house or in a cooperative workshop. The thread does come, alham-dulillah - praise God. His loom remains full and his family fed...


"It would probably not be entirely inappropriate to repeat earlier concerns that the weavers of futa Benaadiri face an uncertain future. Futa Benaadiri is no longer an inexpensive alternative to imported cloths and as a prestige textile it faces competition from Tanzanian kitenge and similar stuffs. [But] its ability to endure for more than seven centuries, and particularly to make radical adjustments that historical circumstances have forced upon it over the past century, suggest strongly that it will continue to survive.' | An excerpt | © Pages 8-11 of the September/October 1989 print edition of SAW.


"Cotton cloth yardage, known as Benaadir cloth... It is cut into lengths for the traditional men's wrapped (futa) and shorter shawl-like cover (Go), and for the woman's wrapper (Guntino). Formerly women spun the thread, and although now imported thread is commonly used, it is often still locally dyed. Benaadir cloth weaving is a survival from a cloth industry that was florishing in the early 14th century, exporting to Egypt and elsewhere..."

Fascinating. U know what i find frustrating? Arabs or Somalis are not literate enough in history to write letters so that we can read it today as historical documents and testaments. We have to rely on my great Britain letter writers for these special gifts. Its unfortunate.

I agree, very unfortunate. There is so much we will likely never know about our past.

Shows how little you know about HIV. It can't be spread by saliva and it's not airborne. It's actually pretty hard to contract HIV in the first place.

Decriminalization of homosexuality will allow people to get tested without fear so that they can prevent transition in the first place and get treatment if they contract HIV so they do not pass it to others.

How this is strictly a gay issue in your mind is beyond me. Straight people in Africa are also spreading STI's and HIV because they lack sexual education and do not have access to adequate screenings and treatment.

HIV isn't even as big a deal as it use to be anyways. With modern medicine you can pretty much have the same life expectancy as someone without HIV and it's also preventable with daily medication.

Sadly it's very hard to cure but it's no longer a death sentence. If you were to contract HIV with modern medicine you pretty much have the same life expectancy so long as you continue medication.

The easiest way would be to just medicate everyone with HIV and stop them from spreading it. In a few generations HIV will be no more.

That's rather unrealistic though since it would cost a lot of money and the fact that there are people out in the world who purposefully spread HIV, so they won't even get medicated in the first place.

The gayism has to be stopped.

 

[Muji]

Botswana's High Court has ruled in favour of decriminalising homosexuality in a landmark decision for campaigners.

Angola, Mozambique and the Seychelles have all scrapped anti-homosexuality laws in recent years.
