Somali wedding in Germany circa 1920's

[The`Republic]

The old Somali style looks so dignified.

[Areesa]

I wonder what qabiil were they? and wtf were they doing in Germany?

[Cumar-Labasuul]

err... they were in a zoo in berlin as the main attraction

[TeAmo]

I think they were slaves.

[SultanOrder]

I think they were slaves.

Germany never had slaves, nor did they colonize Somalis, nor were Somalis ever slaves

[TeAmo]

I'm sure Somalis have been slaved, afterall what differentiates them from other black africans? Even the habashis were slaves.

Could be EagleHawk's grandparent or great-grandparent wedding. I think I see Adolf Hitler in the background.

To one another, i.e. some tribes over the other, but on the whole there was never any foreign incursion into somalia during any of the slave trades, except for the portugues. But even the portugues who did dwell in the slave trade always had some kind of monuments such as slave prisons etc built before the slaves were shipped off. The only slaves were most likely the bantus from tanzania on their way to the arabs or to the farms in the shebelle/jubbas

Based apparently thinks Karl Marx was a Mareexaan, hence the "Marx".

[The`Republic]

Hmm, could be. Eagle's family has a long history in Europe, in Germany I think and I did get it from his favorite website.

[Nomand]

its a human zoo, they had this all over europe. they would get native people and make them live their normal lives inside a zoo for the visitors to watch.

[AhlulbaytSoldier]

The Germans keeping the uncivilized in zoo prison since the 20's
These animals in zoo are the 'arian forefathers' of eagle.

[bareento]

I once met a congolese person, whose grand parents were kept as attraction in european zoos as late as the 30s.
From wat I learned, it seems they were not slaves;
Wat surprised me much is that the guy seemed proud of it.
Their grand children are now well known engineers in Geneva.
