Guardian: 2012 will be remembered as the year Somalia, finally, turned the corner

[Mooge]

 

"Mogadishu is a textbook dystopia, ruined buidings reminiscent of the second world war aftermath in Europe. But a new constitituion has offered hopes of a fresh start. After more than 20 years of anarchy and destruction, there is hope in Mogadishu. Thousands of Somali expatriates are coming home from Britain, the US and elsewhere to rebuild the country and stake their lives on the future; there are others who never left and believe their faith will now be rewarded.

 

 

"David Smith talks to some of the extraordinary characters who believe 2012 will be remembered as the year that Somalia, finally, turned the corner"

Safiya Yaasin, isn't she the brave one ?

 

Very proud of her

[Mooge]

she is very brave and a patriot who wanted to seize on the progress made and get the country moving.

[Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar]

"Mogadishu has never had one, even during the time of the Italians and independence. We want to start from scratch."

Mudane Urbanplanner, you are very wrong. Watch after 8:10 in the clip. Muqdisho had a very professional urban planners. No wonder its avenues and roads were always straight, homes and commercial buildings facing roads, streets were always symmetrical guryo iyo sarar isla siman.

 

Aad iyo aad ugu faraxsanahay inaa arko urban planner Xamar joogo maanta. Aad iyo aad loogu baahnaa.

[Mooge]

raula, Ilaahay magaciisa weyn baan ku dhaartay I don't know who faduma yasin is. i don't know her clan and i posted the only picture of women in that list. all i know about her is the little i read in that article. i don't think she lived in nairobi becuse i know most people here.

 

ha igu dambaabin this time.

[Somali philosopher]

I am proud and welcome these ppl who came back to help rebuild. Mogadishu can look better than before inshallah

[Aaliyyah]

I do pray 2012 will be the year Somalia finally chooses competent leaders who will begin the progress of rejuvinating the nation.

 

Anagana dhamaan aan ku dayano inti dhulki hooyo ku noqota say wax u taraan. Dhulku dadkiisa uun baa wax ka dhiga. Somaliweyn midnimo iyo horumar ayaan u rajaynayaa.

[Libaax-Sankataabte]

An amazing come back indeed. My birth city of Mogadishu has shown resilience no other capital has shown. It is truly remarkable.
