my poignant SL story. i've been on a ''benevolent mission'' and even that's stretching it far, in all honesty. i think many of you have been away from the homeland for a long time. the situation on the ground is not as perceived by those with lofty diaspora aspirations of perhaps returning one day. i made a conscious decision to return home. i was ''broken'' and returned with the view of cleansing my ''hybrid-somali-from-a-distince westerner identity'' of any lingering vestiges of ''western values'' and more importantly of any western cultural norms. my aim was to create a singular and indeed complete personal identity. i was deluded and felt British dee. in hindsight, it was also my protected upbringing that misled me about the harsh realities of life. i believed in this potent mantra of democracy, multiculturalism and human rights before denouncing the WEST forever. for the next year or so, i begun a process of self-evaluation, of change, of finding purpose and belonging. i did that by coming here. my coming to somaliland trip was very much low-key, you see. i was a popular and rather active in diaspora-based pro-Somaliland events/lecture circuits but soon realise the 'group' i was cahooting with, were pathetic, khat-addled-Somalilanders-from-a-distance and in name ony. they spent their entire time on exchanging and repackaging the latest somaliland news and information, occasionally adding their own version of events to the latest developments. these men thought themselves the pioneers and protectors of 'Somaliland' in the diaspora. the misinformation and hyperbole were an attempt to manipulate the masses of patriotic Somalilanders in the qurbo-ha with the view of creating an unshakeable sense of nationhood and somalilandnimo. they'd often re-tell their dramatic stories of conquest and liberation and i was in that world. i was attentive and foolishly followed these lies in the hope that it would firmly solidify my shaky belief and weak sense of being. I was a dedicated follower in these cult circles and was hailed as the next big thing – a new form of somalilander from the qurbaha but with the lingo and ideology of cult leaders. but still, i yearned for more than mere stories and tales of biblical proportions. i came here and saw my land and realised the evil rubble-rousers and instigators, were so detached from reality and lived in a bubble, a bubble of illusory dreams and nightmare induced fallacies. for the last 4 years, i've been working on grass roots, organic development, development dictated by us and not them with conscious effort to rebuild the broken social fabric of this land. the people of this land don't need the usual delusional nonsense peddled by fake politicians like 'international recognition'' and other such fallacies. i feel, they need to understand the importance of sacred social values of 'trust', confidence in their own being', deference, trust in social institutions and authority. from the very outset, i felt, through the various research and papers, i wrote on these matters that crucial societal rehabilitation efforts were being ignored and considered something peripheral that the somali customs, norms and values can wholly solve. I realised that through a grass-roots, bottoms-up and an organically Somali approach, I was more than capable of developing new methods, ideas and thinking that may signal a way forward. and i feel i've achieved those aims in their entirety by blogging on SOL and 'exoticisting' my mad exploits for all to see, in the hope they may confer me with accolades, sharaf points and ever lasting success. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

i'm dual national, dee. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

The neo-realism film is built around an elderly man's cynical line directed at two naive younger men whom he spots handling a stolen purse: "If you want to arrest a thief, you would have to arrest the world." Jafar Panahi directs this quietly brilliant psychological drama without a false note. The sharply observant screenplay about the class divide in Iran. It's a poignant humanistic drama about one of Iran's many forgotten heroes from the Iraq war, who has never fully recovered from the psychological and physical injuries sustained during the conflict. The film magnificently makes use of long pregnant pauses, the hero's deadpan expressions and long takes of the bustling city while the protagonist calmy maneuvers on his motorbike through the heavy traffic and the lines that divide the rich and poor neighborhoods of Tehran. These long silences give the viewer time to digest the ongoing social conflicts in modern Tehran and to ascertain the hurt felt by the suffering gentle giant. Hussein eventually decides to commit an act that he hopes will make his life more comfortable. This criminal undertaking (and the fates of all involved) is revealed within the first 10 minutes of the movie; the rest of the time is spent detailing the petty humiliations that propelled Hussein to make this ill-advised lunge for a piece of the pie. The film was inspired by a recent story in the news about a pizza man killing a jeweler and committing suicide during a robbery. 10/10. Excellent.
