There were many Sade families in 2003 in Hodan? Things must have gotten much better.....or Gedo must have been too grey. Anyway, I was referring to before the main war so ignore my previous comment.

a 3 iyo 4 year old can remember much .. and the blurry things i couldnt remember my mom n grandmom said what happend

For the ladies who mentioned being young and not being able to remember the details of those days....well, sisters....there is something that Somalis do remarkably well...which is to tell stories and not just any stories...real event stories, so my parents told me and, of course, many others the stories of their voyage to the West!!! Kabeesh?

Olive walaal how is your mother?

Survival of the fitest waye

Walle somalis are so slow. How the hell did yall still remain behind when it was all too obvious that a civil war was about to consume everywhere

As for my family, we had insight and foreknowledge about the events that were about to transpire. My father left Somalia many years before the war. I was never a refugee like most of these flight 13's, I was born in Ajman UAE, the capital of alcohol brewing in the Gulf. At the age of 2 we went to Medford then to Oregon in the United States and then finally to my home of North Carolina. I have another bah who were born in Holland and Germany.

All in all the smart suffer the least

^RuralMan08, some people knew what was about to happen but believed it would be quick and painless.

Did you ever bother to find the meaning of a "refugee"? You don't have to be fleeing from a civil war to become one, you know!

I haven't seen the horrors people have lived so I am thankful to Allah for that and hope He eases for anyone that had to undergo it.
