Memories of Xamar/Mogadishu

Recommended Posts

-Lily-   

The worst kind of calacal is the doom & gloom type, even if it is not in our lifetime (which I know it will be), Xamar will return to its former glory, if not better.

Thats all that is left anyway,as Val said. Why would anyone want to deny someone that?

 

I really feel for everyone who has lost a home. A childhood Memory. Sucks.

FB, old Xamar is alive in people's memories and the new Xamar, the current Xamar, is creating memories (both bad and good I'm sure) in the people that live there now. The city hasn't died yet. As Lily pointed out, it will be rebuilt in due time, I'A.

 

So save your fake empathy/sympathy. icon_razz.gif

Keep your rejections to yourselves guys(to those that are crying fault on Xamar caddeey) Open a thread about Hargeisa or Garisa or wherever else that be and see if we give a rat about it :D ..

 

We all know there is NO Somali city that can even come closer to Xamar in its glorious days, let alone compare.

 

MMA, yeah iskuul farsamada was in lambar afar, but I don't think it was new though. Baaskiilyaasha iyo moto sheelaro aa lagu ijaari jirey. Heard of guy called "Gurey"? As for the lifts, if am not mistaking isbitaal Digfeer and Bangiga dhexe also had lifts..

You could not grow up in Xamar, and not be ciyaal banooni!

Here are other ciyaal stuff we used to do:

 

ciyaal Baliil,

ciyaal guluus,

ciyaal shineemo,

and early early in my age, in my third grade, ciyaal qooleey...

 

hayye, xaggee ku ciyaari jirtey Geelle...

Horta,when does a somali stop being ciyaal(waxaas). I have seen grown azz men in the malls, calling themselves, "ciyaalka xaafada", where is this xaafad first of all and 2ndly, When does a grown azz xamarawi stop calling himself and others ciyaal so and so? You Muqdisho ppl are something else. icon_razz.gif

Just for the record I have been in MMA's home. I am sure he was too young back then. His old man was biggie and their home was quite big sitting on a sizable real estate. I played boojo in the neighborhood. I was grade 6 at the time.

 

 

As for Xamar -- what can I say!! Have a nice memories. The place has left a permanent mark in my head.

 

Anyone from Sakhawadiin Secondary School in Shibis?
