The Tale of Different Dates

Recommended Posts

26th of June - Somali Independence Day

 

1st of July - Somali Union Day

 

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

The famous author of "kaana siib, kana saar" or Timacade was ayeeyo first marriage (habo who shares the same nickname is a celebrity in Gabiley).

They released a popular video interview of ayeeyo in Canada back in around 98 after she went there (she was also praised in one of the poems :D).

 

My cousin, ie the poet's grandson, just related to me that when Yusuf Garad of the BBC came, she requested him to stop using the "self-proclaimed/la magac baxdey" for Somaliland of all things lol

26 June should be a sample for All Somalis as it was the first day oo Calan dhul Soomaali leedahay laga taagay. But sadly, for obvious reasons, it is not celebrated as such.
