I think that's how the Swahilli Coast spells it. I think they must be the children of those who used to live there.
They call it Kaftan in one video but Baati in the description. They can't even make their mind up.

They cant pronounce โcโ
Indians are business people to the core,they snag up any business method they can
It's a bloody piece of clothing, what's the issue if they wear or sell it. How many products have Somalia borrowed from other cultures and sold it.
I've never understood why people gatekeep clothing. Also all of east Africa wear this piece of clothing not Somalis.

No, no need for one.
He's a Bantu, that pretends to be a D&M ethnic Somali. He was on this forum before called @mohamedismail and was angry Somali women were not marrying Bantu men.

It's embarassing when I see a woman on tiktok wearing a baati and then the comments are flooded by people asking her is she Somali. And if she is not why are you wearing a baati.
Bro do these people not comprehend a baati is not exclusive to Somalia. It probably didn't even originate in Somalia lol.
It's like Somalia getting pissed off when an Indonesian or a Sri lankan or Yemeni wears Macawiis. When in reality its just a peice of clothing that we share and like many other things cultures sometimes share certain aspects.

Baati/dirac shiid did originate in Somalia lol, as for non-somalis they were introduced to it fairly recently.. but ur right, itโs trashy to harrass people for wearing it
Yh that's what I'm saying. I've seen loads of Kenyans or Tanzanian women wearing baati and they have another word for it in their language. And in the comments it's 1000 people saying why are you wearing our clothes, that belongs to us, it's not a Tanzanian or Kenyan etc..
It's very embarassing behaviour. I think we need to accept that we share things with other cultures, whether they started it first or we did, it's now become a easy African piece of clothing.
I've seen people on tik tok argue that the dirac, shiid and baati is also a part of their culture which is crazy because it's obviously not true. I think the material that is used to make diracs originally comes from India hence why they're trying to make profit off of it now. They should specify that the clothing is native to Somalis instead of labelling it as 'afro couture'.
These clothings are definitely not the Somali culture originally. Somalis are known as lamagoodle, I'm pretty sure women weren't wearing baati in the desert with the camels
