I\’m Somali
Most Somalis have experienced their experiences in a variety of hard time contexts. Everywhere in Somalia life is described as a state of obstacle affairs.
The drafts, articles, events and regular news report that we receive are not partially denied or endorsed by me but I am never bound by what is in today\’s context.
Somalis are the people I was born to and at the moment they are facing different and very difficult circumstances but what I want to describe is not only the living conditions of my Somali people.
The important thing is to be able to say out loud that I am one of the people in this world, I am one of the in Africa especially in East Africa, and I am a Somali.
I have a nation where I am one of its people, I have more than what I lost, what I miss is greater than what I count, what I seek is greater than what I have gained, what I will become is greater than what I have now. I am Somali.
I acknowledge that my people are growing intellectually, qualitatively and quantitatively, as they improve their lives.
We have different dreams but we are all equal as Somalis that one day Somalis will wake up in peace and prosperous. Somalis who believe in their dreams believe that this common dream of us will become true.
Many of my people are tired of the difficult circumstances they face personally as a family and nationally, many of them are tired of painful events but my people have never been tired of being Somali.
What I am writing is what I lack and what I miss, what I am writing are traces of tomorrow that will be a history that my people will pass on, that I will never change my people, what is left for my people, what will last for my people is this legacy. What we have found is our Somaliness
With perseverance and patience we go through all the events of today together, as a whole, as Somalis.
I am Somali.
