I am from a remote village between Burhajey & Faxfaxdhuun,not far away from the border

 

Seriously, Anu reer NFD baan ahay,but one side of my family has a foot in around Waamo & the other side all the way up in Southern Etobia,bordering Balad Xaawo & Doolow.

 

My Knowledge of Trees,Animals & terminologies is all from my father who was a vetenerian by proffession. I travelled with him as a child all around NFD & the bordertowns of Somalia many many years ago,Very helpful life changing experience that i probably will never ever forget.

Xantalay? we used to say it different-as in Cantalay...(and there was a song that went with it by the way). I remember quudquudato also. Qooleey or some say it Quuleey.

I can understand why a Sujuu like you would say "Cantalay" as opposed to Xantalay or Quuley as opposed to Qooley.

"Las Geel is undisputably Somaliland's pièce de résistance. Hundreds of magnificent neolithic rock art paintings in perfect condition adorn the walls of several interconnected caves and shelters. Some paintings exceed one metre in length and their state of preservation is exceptional.

 

Were it not in Somaliland, this fantastic site would immediately be declared a World Heritage Site and swamped with masses of tourists. Sadly (well, not quite), as long as Somaliland is not recognised by the international community, all attempts at protecting Las Geel will be unsuccessful and it will remain a hidden gem."

 

Where in the world is Laas Geel?, I heard Laas Ciidle, I heard Laas dhuure,Laas Caanood too, but never Laas Geel.

Not entirely true. I drove from Hargeisa to Berbera and we stopped as Las Geel on the way. There is a small town at the turnoff and it is

not marked, you have to speak with the townfolk and have them point out the turnoff. Once you find the turnoff you pretty much need a 4x4 to traverse the rough track approximately 8 miles back into the desert. It is protected by a Federal Guard out there at a well marked Camp.
