Northern Somalis from the 19–20th century

What are their clans? I know the first one of Habr Awal

Their all isaaqs and one madhibaan

Their all isaaqs and one madhibaan

Source? I doubt they are all Issaq, Issaq numbers have always been inflated due to British bias. Harti, Dir, Ciise Yibir, Tumaal, and Madhibaan probably outnumber them.

I've never heard of these clans.

Thank you! Do you know where I can find the original source? I did reverse image search and I know the guy who took these photos is Roland Bonaparte but can't seem to find it. All I found was some old forum post. I wish there were photos like this from Bari and Mudug

You always say bari and mudug you then agree that nugaal is independent

Those people are Somalis?


Don't come for me people, but they look Nilo-Saharan.

Thats what we're supposed to look like. It's no suprise given we share 30+% of our DNA together. It's very funny seeing niggas with those pics as their profile pics trying to deny being Black

@Nilotic nomads in galbeed still look similar to the one's in OP's post.

The Absame are truly landheere; they have so much land





Those people look undeniably Somali; perhaps the black & white photos create a bit of distortion

Maybe it's the skin colour those guys from 1883 were bordering on Dinka complexion

People were probably spending far more time outside and thus got a little darker

Majeerteen men 1890s

2,4,5 and 8 have clearly used butter on their heads, you can see butter on couple of others ones too. This dhaqan seems to have lost sadly.

As a dhaqan practice it is cool but in reality; it reeks man.... have you ever been near a sun-beaten geeljire who had burcad on his head the whole day?
