    This photo was taken in 1942 after the British drove out the Italians from Eritrea in WW2.The British called the leaders and dignitaries of the lowlands and western provinces of Eritrea regarding the new political changes and discuss any concerns after the departure of Italy.

    Note-2nd line:
    2nd from right is young-man Hassan Omar Adam wad Duckeen who was the representative of the Shoom (chief)of the Mariya tribes. Next to him ( a step below him, young man in the black turban)is Omar Hassanou.
