Great pictures. I really like the third one of the little boy. He looks very dapper. Perhaps his family were wealthy.

some benadiri clans traditionally didn’t and still don’t wear hijabs until marriage, so idiot murtards gloom onto them for their agenda.

There is no choice now though, that is the difference, no point risking being blown up by Alshabab, and there are plenty of pictures of women not wearing hijab back then too.
