We need to preserve and hold on to whatever pre-islamic traditions and celebrations we have left.

Nowruz is Iranian not Somali.

Never heard of this dabshid before.

Is it only celebrated in Mogadishu?

There's almost zero evidence of Iranians ever living in somalia, other than a few Kurds from the Ottoman Empire.
