The Ajuran Sultan visiting Italy during the hight of Nazi and Italian Fascism (1938). Olol Dinle was a Somali Sultan who ruled Kelafo as the head of the Ajuran Clan. He successfully offered allegiance to the Kingdom of Italy in the 1920s and was named "Sultan of Sciavelli" in the early 1930s.
 
Historic pic. Which one is olol?

There's not much photos of him, but I think he's the one in the centre as the Sultans of those times wore garments of black and yellow stitching, and the guy on his left must be a relative or a powerful figure in the dynasty.
