on my way here we were stopped at a checkpoint a few kilometers from the city, the soldiar asked for a few bir and drawaalkena was like no im not gonna and the guy was like your not coming down so he raised his gun was like how bout now, imagine you being a few seats behind this in clear view, my heart was pumping no joke so the drawaal had no choice so he came down and the guy took him to the other side of the road next to where they were sitting chewing jaad after yelling at him for a bit some of my cuzins and other men went down to go talk to him and finnaly got the guy to let go, it don't seem like much but that was my first impression of dhagaxbuur.
After getting used to the daily fact of no electricity for most of the day, no toilets seats, showering outsdie and the basicly doing nothing really but going out twice a day to the city to sit around and talk all day coming home to eat its not that bad, lol the funniest thing happen to me the other day, when i wanted to wash some of my shirts my cuzins jumped at me in total shock and said you can't do that its not your job, don't you know thats the womens job i was dying at this moment of laughter i was like what should i do he was like leave it by the side of the house you'll find it in your room folded and clean lol its not that bad here im telling you

oh yeah another thing the other day there was heavy fighting going on about 20mins outside of the city between government and onlf it about 7soldiars were killed and 4 wounded the next day the city was full of soldiars but the most surprising thing for me was that a lot of the soldiars are somali and one of the killed was somali that lived in dhagaxbuur i went to his tacsi yesterday, its sad but damn this one ex onlf that now works for the government was telling me the reason he quit onlf was because he got tired of running back and forth all day


basic daily routine is wake up around 10 have my breakfast ready beer ama suqaar go into town drink tea play around come back for lunch at noon sleep for a lil bit go back to town have some refreshment come home dinner
