No my eedo was the first from my family to go to the west she only left during the mid 80s when things were starting to heat up in Somalia. None of my family really forsaw the magnitude of what was brewing until it was knocking on our doorsteps.

That’s interesting was he one of the Somali seamen that came to the UK early
Yeah I'm pretty sure he was one but i think he was based in Liverpool I'll have to ask my dad
My Awowes father and his brother went to the europe for university and settled in the UK after Italy. My great grandad returned after he had a dream to come back and created a big buisness but sadly his brother died in the UK and since he didn’t return so we have no connection to that side now. That side fully assimilated into being cadaan since it was 4-5 generations
