Don't bother replying to him anymore, his mind is too fixated to try understand anything outside what he already believes. No amount of evidence will convince this fool

you cant name the difference though the one she is wearing is identical to the oromo one end of story.

 

[GALAN]

[wonyluvr]

they are wearing afar culture look at somali culture and afar culture only the afar wear the headpiece you cannot argue with me about this.

Why are you shooting for afars sit your Oromo ass down

 

[Zak12]

@GALAN I'm surprised. You've been here for two years already so you should know better than to spout incorrect nonsense about Somalis and claim we have no culture. I have nothing against non-Somalis posting here but for FFS if you are going to stay on a Somali forum at least learn a thing or two about our culture. And no, I don't care about who influenced whom or whether or not Oromos "stole" from Somalis, that is a silly topic that only invites ethnic bashing.

Most preconceived similarities between Somalis and Arabs simply come down to both groups sharing the same lifestyles. That isn't to say Arabs never influenced Somalis but to claim Somalis were Arabised is far from the truth.

Arabs and Somalis have remarkably similar traditions and cultures in a dozen different ways.

• The same historical divide between the Hadar and the Badu (Reer Magaal iyo Reer Miyi)
• The same artisanal, fishing and hunting taboos with some Arab tribes even displaying something akin to the Cushitic fish eating taboo
• The same bondsmen or low-caste system for the crafts, specialized hunting, fishing and so on
• A deep love of poetry and even using it as a battle tactic between tribes as a substitute for physical combat
• A majority pastoral nomadic society with a deep emphasis on raiding and warfare
• The same seafaring culture, boats and even the same sorts of bloody cariish huts employed in coastal towns
• The same patrilineal tribal system

Even in regards to clothes it seems Arabs originally wore the lama-go just from observing the dress code for Hajj alone and some pictures of some remote 19th to 20th century tribes. There are of course several differences with them using the characteristic MENA poled goat-hair tents, in non lama-go clothes to a great extent and various other customs such as their propensity to allow adults to ride camels whereas Somalis and Afars found them too sacred for that but they are very much an uncanny valley reflection of us so similar perspectives on the world are bound to manifest.

There are cases of lore exchanges like folktales among Somalis that seem too eerily alike to Arab ones not to come from some sort of contact but I suspect this proverb is just the tribal nature of both Somali and Arabian society manifesting themselves separately in a saying.

I always see people talking about joukes and the two rags (lamagoodle or something like that) when discussing somali cultural clothes for men, but what about these clothes.

Anyone know what they are called:

The second photo might not be clear enough because it's small, so you might think it's a jouke, however if you see the bigger image on google it doesn't look like a jouke. To me it looks more like a white cloak.

Feel free to post more images of male cultural somali clothes that's not a jouke or rag if you have any.

Those clothings were worn by tribal leaders, people in the cities, and such, but the typical pastoralist wore this:

Why oromos so obsessed with us? they're insignificant to your average Somalis. Most somalis had no clue what an oromo even was til couple of years ago. Please go back to being oblivious. We dint care about you guys at all @GALAN

Fax, I only heard about Oromos in the last 3/4 years, and I was so shocked when I found out a decent chunk of them know the Somali language
