The sheer insolence putrefied the atmosphere in that photo and examplifies the condition of our common somalis. The visible disempowerment of that poor man is not something he is unaccustomed with, he has endured it under Shabab and previous to that under the warlords. I bet he has lived long enough to have witnessed Italians walk his soil.
I wonder is that raised hand a sign of surrender? the final nail on his living grave?
Liberating land and gaining new territories while you loose all dignity is a state of deprivation for which there is no recovery in the cruelty of history. Inanimate possessions like Land, houses, cars, gold, etc can be replaced/ recovered, however, there is no replacement for lost dignity.
This is not the path to build a nation, nor is it the path to restore a nation this is the sanctioned euthanasia of Somalinimo under the guise of "Mercy".
I will remind us "Restored by the enemy shall fall by the enemy".
