On our way from Galka'yo to Bosaso (750kms) in the central regions of Somalia, we passed the major towns of Garowe and Qardho which have been more populated than I thought. Here I depict some of my observations while on the one-day long trip.
Ever-stretching roads Camels on both sides Shrubs and potholes Whistling winds Plains and plateaus Ascending Descending Tired souls crabby drive Sordid faces Grey meadow Anxiety Anticipation Apprehension Lunch Breaks, Stop-overs Camel milk Checkpoints Uniformed police Passing shadows voluble chaps Glittering sands Gliding birds

Safe journey brother. The combination of uniformed police and camel milk gives the maximum peace of mind to the enlightened Somali. I am sure you longed for this kind of peace.
Thank you brother Abdinoor. I am with you on this journey.

Thank you for sharing your journey Abdi-Noor!
The beauty of words: embracing our minds.
Thank you for sharing with us, what we can only imagine; and fall short. Your experience is so valuable. Your life so very precious.
Keep gliding with birds and opening our eyes.
