Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted October 16, 2003 Salaan... I had literally been inside this building less than six months ago. Ooh, maan, I was in that air conditioned upper-hand corner office on the right. The very first building I had seen and been in when I set a foot in Xamar. However, this is not itself the Muqdisho University. Xafiiskeeda weyn waaye oo laga register gareeyo lagana xukumo. Dankis for sharing. ________________ Macsalaama.
