Wow! Shocked

I have never seen footage like that before. Usually pre-war footage is just a few desolate areas here and there, but I never saw the full and busy market like that in a video, in the 1980's, wow! In one scene, you couldn't tell the difference between Mogadishu and a European/Turkish street.

Wow! Shocked

It's so depressing that people in my age group have to look at pictures or watch videos of Mogadisho just to vicariously pretend like they've actually lived through the experience.. Sad

Screw that shit, I'm not from Xamar, never was. Laughing

Unlike some poor saps, I have a comfortable bed in Jamaame to return to, and Garoowe at last resort. Cool

I just have to clean the webs out of my 20-year abandoned bed, but its no big deal.

Laughing Says who? One of my relatives was in Xamar sometime back in 06 (checking on some of our properties) and she came back unharmed. I could go back if I wanted to, there's just nothing to go back too..except rotting corpses and what not..Rolling Eyes Arrow
