Originally posted by Siciid1986: Queleh is the story of the Somali refugee Abdi Jama, now living in the Netherlands. When he was about ten years old, he witnessed his father being arrested, leaving him with the responsibility for his family. It is still early but the sun is already burning down on the red earth. Queleh (10 years old) is picking up roots and weeds from the furrow his father makes with his bull-drawn plough. Ali (35) pushes the plough shears into the soil. Suddenly a dust cloud appears on the horizon. The roaring of a car engine tears through the peaceful sounds of the countryside. An army jeep stops on the edge of the red field. Three soldiers jump out and drag Ali away. Queleh grabs at his father’s trousers as the soldiers lift him into the jeep. One of the soldiers knocks Queleh down with the butt of his riffle. The jeep drives off and Queleh is left facedown in the field his father has just ploughed. Queleh is based on the childhood of the Dutch-Somali director Abdi Jama. Just as adolescence was about to hit, his father was arrested in the cruel Somali civil war. From one day to the other, his safe and quiet life had come to an end. Queleh is now the head of his family and is responsible for the family income. He has to harvest the crops and has to travel to the city on his own to sell them. In the city, Queleh witnesses how the soldiers decide upon life and death. As he tries to contact the rebel movement, Queleh is arrested and tortured. He survives. When he returns to his village, he sees that the soldiers have destroyed the cornfields, the papaya trees, the wells and his family corral. The village elder Issa, wants Queleh to join the growing flow of refugees. Queleh decides to lead both his and Issa’s family through the riverbed to Ethiopia.

Soomaali Maxamed, Habeen Wanaagsan

Untill the day all old farts are finnished, Somalia will have a problem, Silaanyo like many mad men of his time can think beyond the horison, are consumed by hatred, racism, and clanism. I am surprised when some naively expect change from 80 year old bigot!

Riz Khan Sudan: One country or two? George Clooney explains why an upcoming referendum in South Sudan could trigger more violence. As people in southern Sudan prepare for an independence referendum next year, is Africa's largest country heading towards another civil war? South Sudan is likely to break away from the North in a vote scheduled for January 9, 2011. The referendum is part of a 2005 peace agreement that ended a prolonged long civil war between the Arab and Muslim North and the Christian and Animist South in which two million people died. JOIN THE DEBATE Send us your views and get your voice on the air But Omar al-Bashir, Sudan's president, who also leads the North's National Congress Party, says he "will not accept an alternative to unity" causing fears that Sudan could slip into another cycle of violence and bloodshed if the South votes to secede. On Wednesday, joining us to discuss those issues will be George Clooney, the Oscar-winning actor and activist. He has just returned from Southern Sudan where he says violence is imminent unless the world acts. Also joining the programme will be John Prendergast, an author and human rights activist who has worked for peace in Africa now for 25 years. This episode of Riz Khan aired from Wednesday, October 13, 2010. Aljazeera Video
