Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2011 7:09 pm
I know we live in Kismaayo and Jubbada Hoose in large numbers. But in Bajuni islands, lol thats a pleasant suprise. I guess i need to save money to buy my own mini Island (screw you Richard Branson and your Necker Island lol).
Islands Of Somalia
Anyone who has read news in the past decade or two is familiar with Somalia. Unfortunately, most of it has been bad news. From civil war to the recent spate of piracy, Somalia has seen its share of turmoil and unsavory incident.
Currently, the Transitional Federal Government only controls the southern part of the country which is also the most unstable politically.
There are 27 regions of Somalia and as far as Islands go, Bajuni or Baajun Archipelago is the biggest aggregation of Somali Islands, located in the Indian Ocean. Following are a few of the islands in the group:
Bajuni
Chandra
Chovaye
Chula
Koyama
Darakasi
Ngumi
Kandha Iwu
Fuma
Ilisi
Kisimayu
Thenini
Tegadi
Ambu
Gua
Chula is the only island with a significant population (500-1000). It has a village named Ndowa. There is possibility of village soccer in Ndowa, although likely only among Marehan tribe. Most Bajuni tribesmen work for the former and lack sufficient spare time for any meaningful organized sports.Most people are fishermen.
Koyama Island is the largest island with two villages, Koyama and Koyamani. There are very small populations in these villages but informal kickabouts are a real possibility with soccer being popular.
Chandra, Chovaye, Darakasi, Ngumi are other bigger islands in the chain but seem to have only migratory fishermen as their "populations". It is unlikely that these men engage in any roundball activity.
Kandha Iwu, Fuma, Ilisi, Thenini, Tegadi, Ambu and Gua Islands are small islands and do not possess any native populations. This may be due to inhospitable conditions and the migration of the local Bajuni tribes to Kenya in 1990s. No soccer activity reported.
It is also highly unlikely but entirely possible that the new breed of Somali pirates cruising in the Indian Ocean may play some informal type of soccer when on land. No confirmed reports about these individuals engaging in this activity, their prime concern for the moment being hijacking all the big tankers and ships and causing international uproar.
