indian movies have been popular for 6 decades in somalia. our parents generation were bollywood fans.
i bekieve it comes from a political stance. sub saharan africa sides with ethiopia except somalis who prefer arabs who dont wish to annex and wipe us out. unlike selassie kenyatta menelik etc. also pan arabism doesnt have an element of attacking somalis. but pan africanism glorifies ethiopia menelik selassie kenya and kenyatta which is an attack on somalis.
exactly but this is usually ignored.
