The Language Of War

[Qandalawi]

Famous sayings born during the civil war.

 

 

War jiraaba caakaaruu imani

 

Reer Koonfur to Reer Waqooyi: Xabadi keentay - I remember kuwo badan oo qaxooti from Hargeisa aan layaabi jirnay just briefly before the civil war kicked off in the south.

 

Reer waqooyi to reer Koonfur: Xabadi sugtay - It was somewhat prophetic predictions but it was only a matter of time since the signs were all over.
