So I wasn't the only one lol. Back when I browsed that board there was a poster who would harp on about "orthodogs" and the Adal Sultanate.I keep seeing that schizo on /his/
I keep seeing that schizo on /his/ as well
The rabbit hole surrounding this guy is deep

Holy shit. I legit used to argue with that guy back then. He was assblasted over Somalis, Dominicans and Afro Brazillians for not identifying as "black". I don't know if those guys are still around however.afrosaxon
Clothless nomads is crazy? Lmfao nvm somethings wrong with this quora person. Isnt it Ahmed Gurey. And look at the views!
Christian depiction of Awfat population being pastoral camel herders alongside agricultural use like utilizing mills to farm plants and this xenophobic fiction is attributed to the Sultan imbued with cultural stereotypes:
How this depiction separates it from nearby Muslims like Aggrobba:
I'm sharing this to set the context for this one last part because it relates to transportation technology and economic growth that came with it. At the center of it was the introduction of the ''Camel Caravan''
For example our textile industry was larger it was the one of the most dominant in Africa, especially in East Africa and they got incredibly wealthy from it continued throughout the 1800s until the early 1900s, exporting finished garments, shawls and artisanal caps.
It managed to even stay competitive against American textile exports:
And this is just southern Somalia alone, Harar textiles and tailored garments probably compounded that several folds i am looking more into.
A Portuguese description on making of clothing in the Muslim province of Bale when listing it's exports this territory is situated around the fertile shabelle river , the same river where there is cotton cultivation on the lower/middle end of it southern Somalia was being produced.
'' cloths of silk and of another sort finer and more lustrous fairer than silk... and this is a tree called Arid, great with leaves like pomegranate and bears a fruit the size of a fist of the finest wool''
'' and of it they make clothes for their king and lords''
I want to add another description but of North Westerners. Tailored Thobes and colorful robes was worn by Somalis throughout the middle ages. Here is a description of Awdal leaders dress code from the 1400s
''And the robes of the Sultan and those of his leaders were adorned with silver and shone on all sides'' Exact description of the dress code of the guys in picture up above, especially the one in the middle.
''And the dagger he [the sultan] carried at this side was richly adorned with gold and precious stones''
''The soldiers/swordsmen, Nobles, Kings and the scholars ( Sheikhs, Qadi, Sharifs ) wore shirts, sewn garments and overalls. They also wore trousers/pants.''
''The Nobles, Swordsmen wear cotton headdress whilst the King wears silk headdress
The Qadis/Jurists wear Turbans(imamad) while the general public wear skull caps (Kofiyads)
The commoners wore wrapped garments that was draped around their bodies , (two futa)''
The description of Christian Ethiopians by the Portuguese: Their clothing and costumes
''For in Ethiopia they do not know how to make cloth, and the wool is not suitable for it, as it is very coarse'' ''They all go barefoot and often naked from the breast up''
Pedro Páez's History of Ethiopia, 1622 - Volume 1 - Page 206
Their Kings/Emperors and nobles would even walk around half naked:
''Regarding costume, in former times it was poor, because even the great lord did not wear shirts ...... the rest of their body would be naked''
Boqor please do thatYou know i might make a article/thread systematize the evidences going through primary sources to refute the false claims ethiopians make and some misconceptions, 1 one after the other. So we can have it all in one place and people can just link it.
Both Awdal and Awfat are depicted as camel herding pastoralists. And some of the sources that describe them that way comes from Ethiopians themselves that remember them as such.
The camel was the marker of being Muslim and why Ethiopians formed taboo against it. So imagine how ignorant it must be to try and drag Somalis by describing them as nomads
Plus Somalis had a vibrant textile/clothing industry from the medieval times until our modern time.
The clothless ones were Ethiopians:
Arab visitors would see their Kings run around half naked:
