damm for a warsengli you are really invested in koonfuur. Can i ask why?
I have only talked to my grandfather once in my life. I was around 5 years old and he told me to work hard in school and educate myself.
A few weeks later my father disappeared from the house , i found out he was in his room for 2 days straight. My grandfather was dead, killed alongside his maid and 2 of my baby cousins by terrorists.
My grandfather was a high ranking member of the government, i won't go into details but he has a wiki page and all.
A few weeks before he was assassinated i remember arguments between my dad and my grandfather, my dad was adamant that he should go to Dubai. Dubai would grant him a visa and he could rent a home through our great late aunt. My dad offered to pay everything.
But My grandfathers answer was simple, "What for?, have i lost all dignity?".
My grandfather died for Somalia even though generations of our family was raised in Aden. He died for it even though in 2005 the government was non-existent. He died for it when it was easy to not.
Patriotism is not standing with your country when its strong but also standing with it when it's at its worst point. A true patriot will not give up on the Ideal, the ideal of a Somali nation where all men and women are equal and free, unburdened by radical Islamists, tribalists and foreign invaders.
I support my grandfathers dream and what he died for.
