It's disgusting. People die in these waters, they say 'daadkaa qaaday'. I had to walk through one of these waters which was blocking a pathway once, the rain was heavy and the water reached almost to our waist. There was no other way past to get home, me and a couple of other women grabbed each other's hands and pushed or way through it while the water was dragging us down. Absolute horrific. If one of us had let go we'd have died in that shit.
While we're on it can someone explain wtf is wrong with their transportation system. I thought their buses was bad but their tuktuk or bajaaj or whatever you call it is a billion times worse. It's so unstable and you can easily fall out since most of them are second hand and don't have doors.
We were waiting to get on of these tuktuk once The driver said he ran out of petrol and the petrol station was on the other side of the road. He told us to get in, got a couple men to push the tuktuk from the back into the road where cars were coming from both sides. Fucking retarded. And btw wth do they stuff up to 5 people in the back when it's mean for three passengers, just to milk the money.Dangerous people and dangerous conditions.Got close to losing my life a couple times on these things.
It's funny you mentioned this about the Bajaaj (not tuktuk here in Hargeisa). The other day I was caught in a monsoon (what kind of rain is this ? I mean the heavens open up and it rains violently ). I stood under a roof of a barber shop to wave down a bajaaj and after like 10 of them passed me by the 11th try was a charm. Dude stopped his vehicle and when I approached there where like 5 people in this little tiny thing
but dude is like "soo fadhiiso in the passenger side " but the passenger side had an occupant but I obliged cause it was raining hard. Two of us sat in one seat
The guy drove for about 1 mile before he his tire blew up
and traffic was anyways moving at a snail's pace. We got off and I rolled my Nike sweat pants and drudged through pools and rivers of flood water. The whole city was walking. At one point we came to a raging floods where we had no choice to cross it but then the young men of us seen a way to walk on a wall
while holding to these pillars poles above and then we had to jump over an open sewage. Thanks to my athletic form it was chill for me but I witnessed some dudes almost drop into the raging water. I am certain someone had fallen in that attempt cause I kept it moving while cursing Africa. Needless to say I walked 4 miles to get to my hotel. Luckily my clothes are washed and ironed for free (I tipped the ladies )
what character tho
