Yes, it was kind of well known that if you wanted the city's best shisha, pizza house was the place. When some people I was walking with last week pointed pizza house to me and said that if you wanted shuukansi, you could just go there after afur.

Didn't understand why they didn't have guards outside the place like most popular restaurants

Haha, thanks for your concern walaal. It's not that bad actually this Ramadan. This attack was the first this Ramadan. Last years Ramadan featured minimum 4-5 big attacks.

BINGO!
I figured they we're targeted bc of such a service was been given inside that place.

So you telling me they were selling shisha and guys and girls were hooking up like they were in London and idiot owners had no concrete barriers and no security around the place. The owners should be hunted down by the victims of this attack for putting these youngsters at a perils path

I mean it ain't exactly the most secure place in the world. Laakin at the same time, it doesn't feel anymore dangerous walking in the streets at midnight in xamar compared to Nairobi or Delhi.

People are going on with their lives and despite the lack of things you take for common in Europe such as: street lights, proper roads, cholera-free water, most people are still optimistic and say things like "Atleast today you won't be flayed for missing fajr like al-shabab used to do in 2011."

I don't think I can send messages and receive them as I have fewer than 100 comments on this site. Can answer your questions here if you want

I went there once in 2013. Was very shocked. The city looks like a nuclear weapon was detonated over it, and many people live in ruined, decaying and nearly collapsing buildings. The paranoia is also very real, I walked outside in one neighborhood and was swarmed by people who thought I was Shabaab. There was also the time when a gun fight broke outside a hotel I was drinking coffee, or the time that mooriyan nearly shot me as I was taking pictures of camels on the outskirts of the city (accused me of sending it to an NGO for money). All this happened in the course of a week stay... Left that city feeling lucky to be alive.

There are parts of the city where people basically sleep on the ground under the sky. But some mosques allow people to sleep in them when it's raining.

Resilient is probably the word I would describe the people with. When there was the qarah in beach view in lido beach last month. People were back the next day and the restaurant is open now again like nothing happened last month.

Most people I've talked with on the streets and mosques feel like farmajo is a fresh wind of change in the city. The city is also undergoing reconstructions on a level not seen since the years of government so things are slowly improving.

When it comes to strictness I would place it on 7-8 on 1-10. The place I live is known as a salafi district, as I'm typing this right now some nigga next to our house is blasting al-shabab/daesh nasheed wallahi. But there are districts such as wardighle where people are more relaxed and even sit and chill in front of the masjid when people are praying Maghreb and Isha. But you still gotta stay lowkey if you want to drink and smoke alaabo culuus

The title is appropriate. How else can you explain this sport happening periodically for the past 35 years ?

Accept this as our national sport
