Jilib in 1966

[FAH1223]

your wrong waryaa.

who's the hell is ethnically somali then??

oromos look like somali nomads, marka Oromo ethnically ma soomali baa jawaabtu waa maya?

jareer weyne somaliya waxay degenaayeen more than 1000 years.
qaasatan daroodka waa uga soo horeeyeen somalia.

kuwa adoonsiga loo keenay ee laga keenay east afrika waa less then 1% mushunguliga deggan jubadda hoose waaye,laakiin majorty of jareer weyne 1000 years ayey degenaayen somaliya.

yaa u diidey jareer weyne inuu soomali ahaado .oo u ogolaadey darood carab sheegta iyo isaaq inay soomali yihiin?

nin asia ka yimid sidee ayuu u noqdey soomali oo nin afrikaan ah u noqon waayey somali?

mida kale topic maaha qabiil ee waa JILIB. maxaad marka NINKA CAD grant beerlaxawsi uga raadineysaan oo aad iska dhigeysaan cadaaanimada inuu idiin ogolaado oo aad u cayneysaan dad soomali ah kaliya qabiilkooda waa jareer. waa dad soomali ah islaam ah.

[JaMaaL-23]

Those I knew were Hawiye, Barwaani and Cumar Mahamoud.
There were still some Italians in the area, a doctor and some nuns associated with the Leprosarium across the river.

The Cumar Maxamud family you have mentioned must be Starcream's family.

were they working for the government? or just residing there

Thanks for the pics; they afford us glimses of the country we had

[Wild-Warrior]

Nice Pics Grant. Any chance of you going back to Somalia( not South), might be Somaliland or Puntland and finish rest of your days with Camel milk and goat meat?

BTW, Bantu are not authentic Somalis, they are Somali national just like Reer Hamar and the likes. Bantus came from Zimbabwe and Uganda

[The-Screw]

CoolPoisons needs disciplined.

[Hyperactive]

i agree with DR-YALAXOOW
dulka somali la daha
and qof walbana wo yimid
wa oon la so kala horeyey.
every one lives in somalia is somali
bantu and none bantu.

[eyes-only]

Bantus are not ethnically Somali. They are Somali by nationality. Laakin I agree that it is totally wrong to discriminate against them.

I am not sure if they are recent arrivals or if they were there before the ethnic Somalis came. I know my grandmother's family owned jareer slaves in middle shabelle, may Allah forgive them. I think the bantus were most likely there and ended up being enslaved by the Somalis who were expanding into new frontiers. It doesn't make sense that they were all brought over by foreign slave traders especially those who don't live in the costal areas.

[Cartan Boss]

Grant do u have any images of Talex region?

[Grant]

Grant do u have any images of Talex region?

Sadly, no. We were told that taking photos would be seen as offensive in many quarters and generally refrained.

I have a booklet of photos and translations of Somali poetry that was privately published in Kenya in 1969. I do not believe it has been publicly available. The photos are of Somalia generally, some from the North, nothing specific to Tallex. I believe Screw intends to publish it on the new website next month. Best I can do.

What about photos of Eyl, my beloved Eyl, the Somali pearl of the Indian ocean.

[Grant]

Starscream,

I don't think many PC people got to Eyl as it is off the beaten track and there wasn't a school there. I was there for two or three days, but did not have a camera at the time.

Beautiful place. I have especially fond memories of a small cave-ledge above the beach and watching a troop of baboons play on the cliff face.

There is an enormous amount of water that flows over that cliff and out to sea. It's the full drainage from the Nugaal valley, isn't it? I suppose I was not the only idiot gaal who thought that water should be saved and used for agricultural purposes. There were about a dozen European-style plows someone had brought and abandoned at the top of the cliff.

[WasteMan]

Patriot,

Your conjectures are offensive.

I was there as the guest of the Somali Government, representing the Peace Corps and the highest ideals of the Kennedy Administration. I believe we all acted accordingly. I know I tried to. The half-Italian girl was a married woman. Somali women were not running to jump in my bed.

On those rare occasions I had sex, it was paid for; usually arranged by a government official (yes!), or a friend. I can't say I am proud of any of it; sex outside marriage is not part of my religious heritage, either.

shiiiiiit even u teared a somali p-ssy apart

[wastegal]

These are from slides from film I sent my parents. I just found them and had them printed, so this is really the first I have seen them. They have been going up so slowly because I have had to scan, etc.

Yes, Isse Westlake, that white dude was me when I had hair.

ALLAH. WE HAVE A WHITE MAN ON SOMALINET.
UNDERCOVER POLICE.!!
