I miss my friends.
I miss the feeling among Somalis that Manta waa Malinte. That qabiil is less important than nationalism and national well-being. I miss the sense of community I knew in the Sixties.
-------------------
I lived in Jilib, but banked and did some of my shopping in Kismayo. I got back and forth by a bus service that made the round trip once a day. I usually made the trip once every other week.
Almost always, on the way back to jilib, in the twilight, we would see elephants along the road. At our approach, they would move behind the first layer of trees in the bush. There was usually at least one in the group that was tall enough you could still see the top of his head as the bus passed.
The red and blue shimbiir with the long tails.
The white goats grazing on and around the soccer pitch.
The smell of the shambas and the bush after a rain.
The strong men with the warm and ready smile.
The women with their hennaed hands and incense-smelling hair.
The children. Alla the children.

Demure, I am just talking about the land....but my soul(which btw belongs to the creator) and my somalinimo... fortunately or unfortunately depending on how you view things....is un-revocable.
Hope is not left in me to go back to Somalia...if I must be honest with you...and only Xamar was the somalia I knew...not some tuulo where my granpa was born!!!!

i missed being an innocent little shorty who had no idea there was an'other world out there, that there was WHITE PEOPLE/BLACK PEOPLE. i only knew somalis and somalia and never thought there were others on this earth and i wish it stayed that way.
i missed having no clue that there were ways we defided ourselves Darood, Isaaq, Hawiye and so on.
i never felt the sense of having a home ever since i left mine and the weird thing is even though i was too young to remember most things waLaah i just know life there was far superior to the one we lead to day, simple, humble, the trouble-free lifestyle where you belonged to a people and country
sad talkin about it
