I see some Oromos and Somalis claim '' we share cultural clothing''. NO WE DONT!!
This is a traditional Oromo attire. If we truly exchange cultures than you would see Somalis wear this
Alindi fabric originated in South Somalia, and can be seen worn by Somali since vintage times.
Its outrageous for these cultural thieves to not only wear our clothes but claim it too.
We know the attire is Somali culture. That printed fabric is used today by borans who live next door to many Somalis and have traded with for many years. They appreciate and like the look and have traded with Somalis. Doesn’t mean they are claiming it their own. The use a different print and fabric when making theirs sometimes.
We do have our own culture and don’t claim Somali culture. There is no need to get furious if people appreciate the culture and the beauty of it. If they claim it, fair enough to put them in place but the vast majority won’t claim it.
