@Mckenzie sxb where did u find these images? And where can I find more historical somali documents, preferably on southern somalia
I’m assuming the dir haaji is not ethnic somali, the digil is also not. The rest however look straight somali
BeautifulThis was from a Twitter thread sxb, but there is a huge plethora of everything Southern Somali on the Internet. Pinterest, Alamy and Delcampe are good sources. I will dedicate it this thread and hopefully it becomes a sticky.
The HAg dude's phenotype is the most common i seen. Tall, slender and beardless but with a bidaar and curls

The Darood one is fine *flirt*. And all the eelay look like bantus, was not expecting that/
Are you a female?
Eelay are pure Somali. If you aren't greatly educated on Southern Somali culture or folklore, this thread will help.
Why are they all shirtless? Also I thought I knew somali subclans well this has been a wakeup call I don't know most of these names
More pls
Does Istunka still exist in Afgooye/Somalia?. Seeing pictures from the past, some traditions are forgotten even some hidiyo dhaqan jewlry or ways Somali women wore their clothing is none existent now a days. I wish they would use those images as reference and bring them back.
