I think its amazing we are the direct descendants of a generation that experienced such a brutal civil war.

We can rebuild this nation and we have the stories from the direct sources. We must learn from the errors of our parents and grandparents generation and build the beautiful country called Somalia.

I love hearing of my dad's story. He walked for days with no food or water to cross to Kenya. He was one of the unfortunate individuals who experienced the grunt of the civil war and he saw horrible atrocities. I will one day write a book of my father's account.

Somalia ha noolata

Yh I heard stories from my uncles who had to walk and take buses all the way to the Kenya Border and were held captive by different Mooryaans because of qabiil and other reasons. If only our generation could overcome these petty things we could turn Somalia into what Japan is today after WWII.

My father was a student on a scholarship in the UK ,
someone took a photo of him in one of the first SNM conferences and he was lucky to have a cousin in the NSS who informed him that he was on a list of people to be arrested , tortured and executed if he came back to moqadishu.
This was 1980 and he only went back home in 1993.

Dad was studying in U.S. mid 80s

Mom was in Xamar up till 88 when she was allowed a tourist Visa (they say they had to bribe someone at the embassy to get it)

Then applied for asylum because #Isaaqlivesmatter

In our case it was Ruud Lubbers, the Dutch prime minister that started handing out citizenship like it was shaah cadeys. He was from a christian party and I still vote for them fuckers :salute:

He later became the director of UNHCR. That guy just loved refugees

I was 10 in 1991 and I was in Xamar as the war broke out, so I vividly remember the whole experience. I actually lived through and survived not only the war but also the famine of 1992. I was at my grandma's farm in Jowhar which was one of the epicenters of the famine. I remember being forced to eat sun-baked riverbed sand out of sheer hunger. Towards the end, before I was rescued by family, I was so emaciated that I couldn't walk unassisted. I was essentially on the brink of being another statistic.

And yet 25 years later not only am I alive and health, I'm thriving! I've hit the jackpot of life.
