Spears of Ignorance

The civil war in Somalia is causing more havoc than we could imagine.

Attacking with mortar bombs
They force civilians to flee

Not only people die in the war
But also their history dies too

With the spears of ignorance
They are killing our culture

Nothing shall remain behind
If the language is destroyed

We are victims of a project
Designed and funded by one
Implemented by another

If the language is destroyed - there will be nothing left of what once was. Linguists will tell you that there is so much truth in what you say. I am so sad for you and your fellow countrymen - with people like you striving to keep your culture, traditions and language alive - there is a huge ray of hope.

Peace. Kathy

You are the hope for peace for Somalia: keep writing/righting.

(((HUGS))), love and prayer, Karla.

Horrendously sad, my friend. And I hope many in your country heed your message.
