The sharmake shirwaaq clan i heard still practice i've heard from this guy i know who is one and they live in an area called qarxis in east Eyl did you see them on your trip?no unfortunatelythey were never used for hundreds of years and are now ruins so the only way you can believe is through spirituality and faith or you go to deep ethipia and find the small oromo group that still practice it and believe with them either way waaq is superior and islam is just a rip off
Tourists..white ones too, where ever they show up will be messed up
I fucking envy you sounds like you had some sort of epic mystical trip of historical discovery sxb.the only place i ever visited was eyl and eynabo thanks to my grand parents who wanted me to come from nairobi to bosaso on air in 2011 because they wanted to see me then i took a long bus trip to eyl and caynabe which is where my grandparents and relatives are the bus trip was awesome beautiful scenery saw some garanuugs,warthogs,hyenas,leopards,cheetas,gazelle,and while the bus was taking a stop for everyone to relieve themselves i saw from far a fox feeding on what appeared to be a warthog carcus i am telling you somalis don't know what they have their country is a true pearl of africa
but anyway when i reached there nothing important happened but greetings eating some masago and caana geel and some fish and then me and a couple of my cousins went to the beach i'm telling you i never wanted to leave there empty and beautiful but my ayeeyo did tell me many stories about queen arawelo and how men used to revere her and how she was respected after the catching up we travelled to the cavepaintings and this is where i started looking into waaqism
and eventually became a waaqist and a proud somali when you enter the cave you feel like you've been there your whole life it's a magical feeling but the visit came to an end but my journey through somali history didn't we travelled to caynabo saw some spectacular scenaries and when we reached there the first thing we saw were some rock texts as we were told of more than 3000 years old! and on the rock paintings and text similar to the ancient egyptians, we saw something that looked like a daanto or something as they looked to be dancing wearing somali clothes that looked like the ones that traditional somalis wear any way stayed there for like 3 hours ate some cambuulo cause it was evining then went back to eyl, but the only thing that i regret is not having a cellphone or camera that records if i had them i would have posted the experience on youtube, man i tell you somalia is beautiful as f*ck everything about it is beautiful thats why i want a unified somalia
there are some because these places prior to the civil war i was told had alot of wildlife like giraffes,elephants and lions but most of them migrated to ethiopia and eyl used to be filled with vegetation near the riverI did not know there was leopards and cheetahs in Northern Somalia
Lions although very few have been found or seen but elephants, giraffes, leopards and cheetahs have not been seen for generations but whats odd is that you saw them on a bus trip.
i stayed in eyl for a day and eynabo for a couple of hours before going to Bosaso and leaving. as for the boarder well i came to puntland by air and once you are there crossing won't be tough cause i just travelled south from bari through karkaar and i hope you know about the nugaal region and it's vast beautiful landscape and wildlife which is where eyl is situatedand eynabo is just in the neighbouring region
Of course your only thoughts on PL are negative but sorry to disappoint you again!!always thought PL was a useless desert dumping ground.
I meant the Somaliland and Puntland border!
