Appropriation of Somali Culture- Official thread

[𐒁𐒚𐒒𐒂𐒘𐒂𐒗 𐒎𐒚𐒗𐒗𐒒]

I just saw a clip of a Yemeni (Adenite) woman wearing a dirac, a group of Oromos wearing a dirac, my friend showed me one yesterday of Swahilis wearing diracs, claiming it's their culture.

It's getting out of control. Dadkaan yaa naga qabta.



Post all the examples you can find. What's worse, it doesn't even suit them at all.

Don't even get me started on the Alindi print, that is now claimed by

1. Uganda (they call it Kikoy)
2. Comoros
3. I saw some Masai herdsman wearing it.



Here are the stalkers, wearing Alindi to their 'cultural' show.

They look nice in their own clothes, why not wear them. Ilaahay amarkiisa farawayna

Do you know how all of this can be stopped? Somalis and the Somali government have to trademark our stuff and create an industry out of it. This also includes teaching the history.

 

[Sophisticate]

You cannot appropriate Somali swagger.

Tbh its not really variety. You will notice all their cultural clothes is regional and each regions cultural clothes are exactly the same as their ethnic neighbours.

So those who border Somalis wear Somali cultural clothing, the ones who borders amhara wear similiar clothes as them, Sidama, Welayta, Agaw, etc. Look it up.
