Death Awaits You
Half cadaan kids tend to grow up with cuqdad and they kinda feel alienated due to looking different than their family. Eventually, they integrate well into the culture. Most of them are raised by their aunts/uncle or grandparents. When I recently went back, there was a kirishbee (bus boy) who almost looked full white but he behaved and sounded like a full geeljirre.I understand that the one's without fathers are but the most common mix is half Yemeni over there in general. I understand the challenges with schooling but I assume most that enter the education system for some time would be able to at least sign their names. Its evident his mother was completely illiterate. What implies to me that his mother is not mixed race is that she 'feared that he would not be accepted as he was of different parentage'. Why would she care if she were mixed herself? And why was the kid's last name Abdi? Likely her surname. She may have come from a two parent home but had no support having had this child illegitimately. What is sad is the extent of abject poverty.
btw the mother of the child doesn't have her father's surname. She took her mother's name. Her middle name fadoumo is her mother's name which means she doesn't have a father.
