I dont blame them, they are cawaans with no culture, history or contributions in this world literally just naked savage tribes that used stone age weapons and technology while everyone else in the horn was progressing with gunpowder and near up to date technology.
Because of white supremacy, a lot of things are associated with Arabs that are actually of African origin.

Sis a lot of the food we eat now is definitely influenced by Arabs and Indians, that’s a fact. Even our Bisbaas we call ‘Shidni’ is a play with the word ‘Chutney’. Samboosa is eaten by us, Arabs and Asians and if an Asian said that that’s their culture I’d laugh at them. Culture isn’t static and since people have been exchanging ideas since time memorial, you’ll simply drive your self mad policing people.
The way I see it. As long as Somalis are the face of Diraac, I couldn’t care less about them saying they wear it too, the same way Shidni, Samboosa and Sabayad which is literally a Paratha will always be Somali food.
We can’t throw stones whilst living in a glass house.
Wrong. Dirac was invented in somalia by somalis it never "came to us" cloth weaving has been documented way back as far as 1330s and probably even more way back.
Invented by Somalis in Djibouti
Obviously we have a history with trade and that’s great.Shidni and bisbaas is different though shidni has raqay and bisbaas is green
Somalis in Djibouti are the same as Somalis in Somalia there’s no difference!
Shidni is a type of bisbaas. Original bisbaas is green yes, but shidni is also a chilli sauce.Obviously we have a history with trade and that’s great.Shidni and bisbaas is different though shidni has raqay and bisbaas is green
Corrected him. He said Somalis in Somalia.
Most Somalis don’t eat Shidni, but sambus is of gulf origin and eaten by the entire Islamic world. Most ajanabis associate it with Indians.
I’ve never heard nor seen Somalis claim that we were not influenced by the thousands of years of trade with the majority of the world. In fact it’s very Overemphasized!
No offence sis but I noticed you only mentioned things that are of eastern origin? Like you never mentioned how our food is also influenced by other Africans as well. You would never have a go at Turkish people being proud of their coffee and tell them well actually it’s Ethiopian. It’s only Africans who have to ‘admit’ influence from elsewhere.
Raqay only indigenously grows in Africa too.Obviously we have a history with trade and that’s great.Shidni and bisbaas is different though shidni has raqay and bisbaas is green
He probs got confused
Samboosa is definitely a type of Somali food. We’ve been eating that for near enough a century and is a staple for us during Ramadan.
A good % of Somalis eat Shidni and is a staple at most of our weddings and top restaurants. We borrowed it, improved it and made it our own and it’s what we’d see as Somali along with other food we eat. Even foods like Suqaar is eaten in the Gulf and who invented it is none of my business. We made it taste better.
Somalis will make Shidni, Samboosa, and Sabayad and say it’s Somali food and no I don’t need to give a disclaimer and talk about its Indian origins. I’ll say it’s Somali.
I might be ignorant on the matter but it’s minuscule compared to the latter? Our food is very different to Bantus? Apart of soor which I’ve never eaten what other foods would say is influenced by Africans? Our foods are very different to be honest. If you could give me examples that would be nice.
The Turkish comment is brilliant and that’s what I’m saying. I wouldn’t because I’d laugh in the face of an Indian who said to me that Sabayad and Shidni is actually ‘Indian’ and that I need to acknowledge that. Nope, we borrowed and adapted and made it ours. That’s precisely the point I’m making that’s going over your head!
I bought that up to say that cultural appropriation is nonsense and lowkey whiney. If those Oromos said it’s only their clothes, or if they were the face of Diraac then I’d understand, but Alhamdulliah everyone associates the clothes with Somalis. That’s all that matters.
I bought up food to show the double standards. We all see Sabayad, Shidney, Bariis isku Dhah Karis and Samboosa as Somali and rightfully so, and I couldn’t care less what any Asiatic person says.
People need to understand that cultures aren’t static, we’ve always borrowed and adapted and vice versa people have borrowed from us.

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.Who says samboosa is Somali food
If people want to go down the route of cultural puritanical beliefs then the jokes will be on us ultimately.
