• Omar : Tribu des Medjourtines (Majerteen) . I wonder what thing around the neck of the Dhulo guys and this MJ guy is? It could be something to ward off evil spirits that some nomadic communities use to use.

You should know it, it has Quran verse written on it to protect and bless the carrier.

It was only the customs of some communities not all clans as you can see from the pictures.

Not all of K5 is Ogaden, Dhulbahante as well as other clans live in Hawd.

And you are telling me!!!!! Dhulbahante also found in kismayo, NFD Kenya, Oman, Djibouti and Yemen.

I swear the clothing back then looked sexy af. Very alpha culture. We have the dhaqan of s now. . Whats with the feather situated on the guys head on the far left.

The feather was a nomadic tradition worn by men who have killed a man in battle.
