Wadani Posted April 23, 2013 Wow, that book is written in amazing Somali. I will definitely read it insha'Allah, if only to improve my vocabulary. But I can't commit to it now as im currently tackling a few other works. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coofle Posted April 23, 2013 SP nice read sxb, you won't regret it....The language is superb and the book is emotional, for a moment it made me develop blind and sentimental hatred against our neighbors the Ethiopians Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QansaxMeygaag Posted April 24, 2013 Why can't these books be reprinted by some education ministry in the Somali regions, say Jabuuti, Kiliilka5, SL, PL etc? I don't get it. If something is >30yrs old, you can claim "creative commons" and give copyright laws the middle finger... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
