EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1922, depicts a group of Habr Awal men from the Zaila District in Somaliland, East Africa. At the time, Somaliland was under British colonial rule. The Habr Awal, also known as the Habr Wal, are an ethnic group primarily residing in the northern regions of Somalia. The men in the image are dressed in traditional attire, with various accessories adorning their bodies. Some wear colorful robes, while others wear simple loincloths. Many hold spears, which were a common weapon among the Habr Awal people. The tall and thin figures exude a sense of pride and strength, their gazes steady and confident. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1920s and the unique cultural traditions of the Habr Awal people. It is a reminder of the rich and diverse history of Africa, a continent that continues to shape and influence the world today. This image is an invaluable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in learning about the history and cultures of Africa during the colonial era. It provides a rare and authentic look into the lives of people who lived through a pivotal period in world history. The Habr Awal men in this photograph represent the resilience and strength of the African people, and serve as a testament to the enduring human spirit.
