EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Hostilities with the Arab Tribes of East Africa" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image offers a glimpse into the intense conflicts that unfolded between British forces and Arab tribes. The scene is set at Mombasa Harbour, where chaos reigns amidst bustling activity. In the foreground, we witness a vibrant bazaar filled with traders haggling over goods while boats bob gently on the water nearby. The atmosphere is tense as armed Arab tribesmen gather, their tribal attire reflecting their fierce loyalty. Intriguingly, our attention is drawn to two contrasting figures. On one side stands the loyal Liwali of Gazi, representing those who have sided with British forces during these hostilities. On the other side looms Ali bin Salim, symbolizing resistance against foreign occupation. Amidst this backdrop of tension and conflict lies an underlying narrative of cultural clashes and power struggles within East Africa's diverse landscape. This photograph serves as a visual testament to historical events that shaped both local communities and colonial powers alike. Preserved in a private collection today but once featured in The Illustrated London News in 1895, this remarkable image continues to captivate viewers with its rich historical significance. It reminds us of how photography can transport us through time and provide valuable insights into past events that have shaped our world today.
