I may leave for a country in Europe in the coming weeks if things work my way. Before i return from my trip I hope things will settle down in my chaotic country.

This heap of money is my salary Every month I draw that amount Rich is what you think of me? If so you are wrong. I am among the poorest This money is only few 100 US dollars When converted to Somali currency It will take the size of a small hill Behind it you can hide from hunger But never can it shelter you from poverty Taking a break from war is a necessity But the thought of returning to it is painful The more you run away from reality The more its shadows give you a chase

Inflation! What a beautiful poem! It is sad that our the Somali currency is very wothless. Even worse is the fact that we do not have change! The only note that is working is the 1000 Shilling note! No one accepts the 500, 100, 50, 20, 10, or the 5 shilling notes and coins were long forgotten in Somalia. Nothing costs less than 1000, even candies!
It will take the size of a small hill
Behind it you can hide from hunger
But never can it shelter you from poverty
This is very true.

Abdinoor, I hope you have a safe journey and pray Allah to facilitate things for you.

Assalaamu Aleikum, and safari salama my brother.

That's because you do not have a good Minister of Finance, for he should change the money. It happened in Germany after WWl. If you have one, you had better investigate him. Victor

I hope you have a wonderful journey, Abdi-Noor. Sometimes, I think we must run away from reality at times, to keep our sanity.
