Good stuff. Brave bands.

A music festival guarded by the army is 'progress' to westerners.

It's progress to ANYONE, saaxib. It was only a year ago when these bands would have been killed by Al Shabab for daring to sing in the shower, never mind in public.

 

The army was already there. Now you have the army and you have a music festival. Progess nooh.

i suppose you're right NG, but progress shouldn't be equated to holding music festival. using this analogy is the same as saying ''hey look AS, we're holding music festivals...so 2 fingers to you''.. a bit pathetic, really, inaar.

I am sure the owner will revamp the old place - he has done well for himself in Tanzania...same line of business.

I heard the owner wants to rebuild the hotel

[SomaliPhilosopher]

Curubo was owned by the then Somali government.

I abhor any form of fanaticism unless it has a purpose.

[Che -Guevara]

Fanatics are useful as long as you have means to subdue them once they have served their purpose.

[Che -Guevara]

Only few are blessed with such political and military acumen.
