Somalia-Kenya Border

Recommended Posts

The second picture reminds me of a place called Gog Magog Downs near Cambridge, England. It exactly looks like the Somali side of the border (only bit greener); and, just like Somalia, it's scattered with the remains of dead humans (as result of a devastating war sometime in the past) to the extent that one historian went so far as to say that it's the place where the Trojan war took place between two furious Celtic tribes. Not to say that we Somalis are the real Gog and Magog (and it wouldn't be much of a surprise if it turned out that we indeed are), but if we perished from the world, what would posterity make of our remains and the environment we leave behind? 'Furious tribes' would perhaps be spot-on. But now that I think about it, tooth decay due to khat and skinny legs would deny us fossilisation. The perfect perish. Not a bit of legacy. The picture might not be genuine but it at least has an allegorical significance.

On the contrary, it's said to be worth a thousand words. icon_razz.gif

Lack of Regulation. The Kenya Forestry Department is funded heavily by UNESCO and other NGOs to protect wetlands and other vegetation.

 

People in somalia are running away from guns.

I noticed the exact same thing on the somali/ethiopia border at multiple points.
