Socod_badne Posted November 29, 2006 Fartun Somalia is scrubby land inhabited by petty people, locked in never-ending petty squabbles. All four corners of it. If you've never been there, consider yourself lucky. My advice to you is to keep it that way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
