Appropriation of Somali Culture- Official thread

[al-Mu'tamid المعتمد]

It's not that deep.

It is, we’ve been eating it for at least a century and all eat it. If you want to go down that route: Shidni isn’t Somali food, Sabayad isn’t Somali food, Suqaar isnt Somali food let’s continue lol.

If people want to go down the route of cultural puritanical beliefs then the jokes will be on us ultimately.

Part of Somali cuisine but it’s not just Somali food It belongs to many different cultures and that’s ok.Food is food the diversity of our dishes reflects on our strong history it’s something to be proud of

I think there is nothing wrong with taking aspects of foreign cultures, as long as you admit that it is borrowed. I have noticed this hyprocrisy in Christian African Countries were they hyper focus on Somali and Sudan to see the Arab influences on our cultures, but complete ignore the European, Arab and even East African influence on their own clothes. They are very hypocritical . Wearing an abaya is bad but speaking English or French as your official langauge is okay. Miss me with that.

Cambuulo iyo bun is had after quransaars and other gatherings. Are oromos claiming this too?

Is that what it is? I went to a funeral and they had this, I don’t think there was cambulo but I asked what the ceremony was and apparently it’s a Sufi tradition.

See the Instagram video I was replying to, it’s some borana women in guuntino parading around with bun in saliid. Even the bowls that they’re using are Somali lol
