I apologise to georgs then RIP



Berke is denying Yibir History he should be ashamed

 

[killerxsmoke]

What is the part he is talking about Somalis called?

Revoil has atleast three books that he completely talks about Somalis.

Even Lewis said the same thing about Jewellery in Somalia in his book the people of the Horn of Africa.

Can you show us anything that alludes to Somalis making Jewellery?

have you found anything about yibir

Imagine thinking smiths in Yemen had enough gold, silver and other metals lying around to supply jewellery to millions of Somali women in the span of the last 500 years, while at the same supply millions of Arab women during that same time-period.

I guess the local blacksmiths in Somalia, be it the Tumal, the Indians or even the few Yemenite Jewish citizens of Mogadishu, Harar, Zeila etc weren’t actually smiths but playing with plastic? It seems everything in Somalia came from Yemen, the clothes, the jewellery, the people, the animals, the mountains, everything!

My granny has some in her collection, she got it from her mother, not sure how common it is now, sadly majority of Somali women buy their gold/jewellery from the middle east.

It was imported from Yemen, although it's important to note the Banadiri Qalinshube clan were also silversmiths

This is correct, I knew some came from Yemeni Jews but I forgot the name of the Banadiri clan that specialized in silverwork.

I thought all metalwork was the specialty of tumaal community

tumal only worked on weaponry. Funny thing is that Elay are famous for their clay pots, but they also were the ones who worked on metal pots as well.

Is the Bah Arboore there a reference to the 'Arbore' tribe?

 

[Burqad]

You absolutely have no idea what you are trying to discuss.

Yibir are magicians and Madhibaan are hunters and leather workers.

Stay on your line kiddo.

This website is full of 12 year olds who know nothing. They scan Wikipedia and make up bs.

Is the Bah Arboore there a reference to the 'Arbore' tribe?

Bah Arbera, i.e. children of an Arab mother.

“The Hauia people populate the central part of the colony on the border with the Darods of the former sultanate of Obbia and straddling the upper and middle Scebeli. According to a tradition they are distinguished in Bah Arbera, i.e. children of an Arab mother, and Bah Ghirei, i.e. children of a Galla mother. Which Hauia I buy for the price of a vaca pezatta. The Murisadas (Middle Shebels) represent the first in Cologne; the latter form 3 large groups; Gurgate, Giambelli and Guggundabe”.
