Nobody in Africa is more charming than my uncle.

let me find a mixed somali chick, i'd say!

[Monk-of-Mogadishu]

I lied, sort of, LOL.

She's not even Somali, she's 100% Indian and her name is Naseem Sabrina. She is from Djibouti, but she is part of a worldwide Indian pageant. It represents Indians around the world. There are pageants from at least 20 different countries.

You all know Djibouti is too focking broke to finance a beauty pageant.

This is the webpage. Scroll down to the pageants area.

We'd an Indian/Pakistani community in Somalia before the civil war. They mostly owned shops in Shangaani/Xamar Weyne and mostly kept to themselves. Some of them spoke good Somali. They even had a burial ground that was a big compound in Howlwadaag near Oto-Oto in Waaberi district. After the war, I heard even the tombstones of these graves were looted.

The Indians could also be found in the Shabelle and Jubba coastal towns. I also recollect a Chinese restaurant in Xamar called Ming Sing. Mostly visited by contract workers who were building the roads.

looooool

hindi are all over the world like jews... scattered over the world as indentured labour (slaves) all over the British Empire and as economic migrants everywhere tryna escape the grinding poverty of India, 200 million people tryna eke out a living from nothing...

[Aliyah99]

Monk,

I remember the Chinese workers who were working on Mashruuca Faanoole in Jubba. They even brought their families along and I remember a few of them even converted to Islam, very respectful people.


Aliyah99,

Many of the Indians/Arabs who fled Somalia ended up in Mombasa & Malindi. At one point in the early 90s, Mombasa was over-run by Somalis or people who used to live in Somalia.

Koronto, you must be my father's age lol...he says the same stuff about chinese people in somalia

and he went to London a year ago and he met indians there speaking fluent somali lol turns out they lived in xamar themselves...

[Shankaroon_614]

Djboutians are stupid

[Koronto91]

FAH1223,

I am probably older than your father, lol...seriously, I was a kid around 7 or 8 when my father was a government worker assigned to Jubba region. We would see the Chinese workers every morning as they made their way to work, it was a sight to see. Somalia was a wonderful country back then and the people in small towns were 10x better than those from Xamar; very hardworking people who made their living through sweat, specially the Mushunguli farmers.
