No it was not the norm
I just wanna see how pre-civil war Somalis were like, before we became wahhabized arab-bootie lickers.
And remember, Somali women and girls rarely wore hijabs back then and jilbabs were not invented
I just wanna see all the regal and elegant Somali girls walking around in their majestic guuntinos with their long hair flowing like African Queens. The classic Somali men in their clean white robes.
I wanna see the elegant Somalis of the 19th century, you know, the ones Richard Burton wrote about.
I wanna see authentic Somali culture...our true cushitic dhaqan. Because the way Somalis are now is so vastly different from how we were for a thousand years. We completely changed after the civil war. *sigh*
U just want to bring decadence and Waqness to suit your atheistic tendencies. Naahh baaah kiir iyooo xalwo macaan
Family pictures proves it.

These are soldiers
They were practicing sufis. And they used to go dugsii. Besides skirts, they used to wear guntiino, … etc. I think after Siad barre jilbab became common.
I don't think so. During siyaad baare era-- Somalis were still naked when baare was in office, he was not exactly conservative
After siyaad baare
Thats actually not true. Most did not wear hijab, only a few did.
the nomadic women didn’t have the time to be held down by wearing too much fabric such as a hijab, they either didn’t wear any headwear or had a masr on Somali style.
