Share: Family Stories from Back in the Day

[Crow]

Grand dad from my Father's side apperanly.

He was a nomad so it makes sense I guess.

Since when were nomads Madow? I'm sorry to break it to you but it's just your grandfather, sxb.

Madow Afro was common for nomads at his time.

He grew up in the 20's when these hairstyles were common for Somali nomads.

 

[NAAFO]

A long time ago across the narrow sea in the feudal 7 kingdoms (somalia) westeros
where the mad king ruled (siyad barre)

The time the great revolutionary and glorious leader siyad barre imprisoned two members of my family ​

both of which were high ranking officials within his government,

one was head of the national police and was my grandmothers (plural) brother, I don't need to mention the clan I think it will be fairly obvious to anyone that subsequently is aware of somali politics during the siyad barre era.


The other relative who also occupied a senior position within siyad barre's government and lead offensives as a high ranking official during the 1977 military campaign in ethiopia to liberate our fellow somali ogadenian brothers and sisters from semitic habesha tyranny and oppression whilst decimating the vestiges of habesha resistance,

and upon returning to xamar following the events that inevitably lead to the end of the war and was subsequently detained and imprisoned by siyad barre's decree.

all because he was related to my other relative through marriage which lead to both of my relatives who were senior officials in his government being released and pardoned eventually by siyad barre. with them living out their remainder as exiles.

Inspite of siyad barre thinking that their were conspiracies and plots afoot everywhere like the mad king aerys the II of his name,

my relatives served him loyally and dutifuly like Ned Stark & Jon Arryn (my relatives) did to the mad king aka siyad barre however I still think of him as a great leader,

what I personally think ultimately cost him is not being decisive along with not being able to differentiate friend from foe by being to lenient especially with aidid, abdullahi yusuf, among others etc

But to me siyad barre will always be the glorious revolutionary.leader despite jailing my relatives aun siyad.




I kept everything vague as I didn't want any qabayalaad bs


btw this is all true.

I have proof to back this all up.

@VixR Did you find it boring?

 

[Raage]

My Grandma was like Rosa Parks of the Majeerteen Rights Movement. I can't tell the story because she's too famous and I will expose myself

 

[VixR]

@VixR Did you find it boring?

No, it wasn’t boring. I’m glad they got free. And it was interesting.

That's not Madow, that's subag (butter). You can still see the white on the guy standing to the left's hair.

 

[Gambar]

Somalis have a lot of stories.

 

[Halimo-2018]

How did he die?

He got sick. He died young.

Bro that is the reflection on the sun on his hair. The other two dudes have Madow Afro.

Here's an example with an Afar in colour:

I'm sorry, sxb. It's just you and your grandfather.

 

[yas/London]

You guys better help her now! I’ve got my own stuff going on with my mentally ill Mother. Inshallah she gets better

 

[yas/London]

How much Money is she getting???
She’s not mentally Ill , I know enough crazy fuckers to know she is doing this for Money

I swear if she wants to see real mental illness let her come to London and let her chill with my Mother for 48 hours. Then we’ll see if she is legit, has she ever been in a Mental Hospital?
Nooo, so quite frankly I have no time for this woman when I’m sitting downstairs in my mother’s house looking out for her right now and I’m the only one that see her. Put that in your pipe and smoke that eedo, stop talking about rape like you are the only one that went through it. Your children didn’t see you get raped, my mother was raped in front of me and my brother at the age of 6. My sweet mother took us to school the next day and never spoke about it again.Here you’re telling the whole entire world, piss Off and get your fucking LIFE!!!

Yo this makes zero sense I have the same exact hair texture as them. They must have at least some type of Madow hair.

 

[yas/London]

How insensitive

Insecure motherfucker go away!
Have you witnessed RAPE?
Come back and tell me your story.

 

[yas/London]

She has a Car and a life, I am going through more than her right now. Do you see me screaming to the Somali community every 5 minutes? No! I have no sympathy for her anymore and I used to be her biggest supporter.

that's a different type of butter used by afars. Geeljires generally have more Madow hair.

Walaal I've witnessed gang rape of both adults and children. No matter how bad your experience is it's never a good idea to belittle the bad life experiences of others. Many people were raped during and after the war. I hope your family is relieved of the pain and suffering.

My father being the youngest of ten kids used to be picked on by his siblings, normal older siblings bullying younger kid type thing anyways he used to go behind their house at night and dig a grave and put their names on it lol he even had a song he will sing while digging their grave, kinda disturbing but it’s really funny when my family tells the story especially the song part. He was like 8 or 7 at that time so of course he wasn’t going to do anything.
