wacdaraha_aduunka Posted October 27, 2007 Dont know what made me to take this picture but it made me proud to be somali something that you lack inspiration of in London. The other thing is that the guard checks if you're somali citizen or not as I was not( didnt hold somali passport but am still a moryooley) and therefore had to wait but other somalis gained acces immediately. Btw the image is of the Somali Embassy in Beijing. MOving to Beijing next month so if any SOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jacaylbaro Posted October 28, 2007 For the time being ,,, one should be shameful being Somali. I don't see why people are happy to see a house in China while the capital is burning and people are masacared ....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Duke Posted October 28, 2007 I loved the 47th independence day celebration. That house in China represents the fact that the Somali nation is still one and recognised by the world. We are going through a difficult time, so did the Chinese before us and many other world powers. I never lost pride to be Somali, but I have felt that we lost many an opportunity throughout my life.
