This is an image of my father's gun permit from Banaadir region in early 1960s. I really didn't even know that at one time guns were permitted legally. Unfortunately, the date and name was handwritten, thus the pen ink disappeared. However, I believe documents like this should be saved for historical purposes.

Maakhiri, I don't think any Somali politician is "clean", but it is commendable to see a high-level Somali official sincerely making effort to fight corruption. Did the minister claim he jailed his son? Where is the fair treatment through the normal judicial system?

Yes, for hunting rifles and ancient pistols with permits. I don't think semi-automatic guns and the likes are allowed. I had been here since 1996, I have yet to see anyone with any kind of gun - except the police. Nor did I see any store selling it.

I hope all is safe and well for our own General Duke.

You must be living in a big Utopia fantasy. CORRUPTION is the big elephant in the room, whether you are in Garowe, Hargeisa or, Mogadishu. Mr Carshe is a nomad hero who has shawn good character, and genuine empathy at the hight of the Sima draught.
