Recommended Posts

FULL STORY

 

 

Barry Scowen who lived almost four years as a child in Somaliland from 1957 to 1960 recaptures his memories in those impressionable years. In the following article which he sent to Awdalpress, he writes his memories about the places he visited and towns in which he lived such as Berbera, Hargeisa, Borama and Gabiley. The pictures accompanying the article are Barry and his parents while they were about to leave Somaliland in July 1960 and the membership card of the Somali National League (SNL) with the signature of Mohamed Ibrahim Egal on the reverse side of the card. Egal who was a friend of the Scowen family had given the card to young Barry and autographed it for him.
