@Astute,

Depends on who you ask!

For the MR crew, here is the original copy of the "Proclamation of the Revolution of 1969":

"Si xun u dherge iyo seefta kacaanka isa seegimaysaan"

=

"The sword of the Revolution will not miss you, O you who got rich by crooked means. Bringing the revolution back to course."

Creative stuff!

This makes me angry wallahi. What is wrong with us Somali? Why is it so hard to look beyond our difference and rebuild our country. I already missed out of the chance of growing up in my motherland, the thought of my children missing out too kills me wallahi.

Ismahan,

Sorry you didn't get to see Somalia during its prime. Most of the places in the photos are places I used to go to or pass by everyday! These places don't even exist today, so its even more difficult for my group to remember these things.
