[Libaax-Sankataabte]

Morgan is interviewed by Shabelle Network. It is an "open for callers" program. Abshir Bacadle, the famous poet from Mogadishu, gets irritated by some of the questions or criticism coming from couple of callers. The poet picks up the phone and decides to speak himself. It an interesting but long interview/program.

 

It is all a game. It is all politics. Let us see where this settles.

well, this is great.

 

dadku wuu dagaalaa, haddana hishiiyaa.

 

ever heard the somali adage " Xamar waa barbar ka islaan sidii baati "

 

there have emerged two distinct "Xamar". One is very flourishing and is accommodating to every one regardless of their clan affiliation.

The other Xamar is exclusive to small number of standoffish faction and is isolated from the rest of the city. Hopefully, it will be overrun soon by the optimistic and enthusiastic forces of change with trade and commerce and will open up to others, thus making Xamar what it used to be: a broad-based city for all Somalis.

 

Things are not what they seem to be.
