Odd, walaal, i've got a very bad memory of the 1st of July anigu. when we were young we used to go for our summer holidays to Somalia specially to Hargeysa . Okay one year our aunt who lived in Xamar invited us , we went there , 2 of my sisters and me . First of all we had to withstand the humiliating defeat of the Djibouti soccer team versus the Somalia team

, and then on the 1st of July we went to a theatre to watch a movie or something. We were accompanied by cousins of my cousins {

} . Once we get inside the theatre I took my seat and made myself as comfy as possible . All of a sudden I see everybody standing on their feet , and assuming an almost military like posture . ME , a young citizen of a flourishing democracy {Djibouti}, wasn't aware of all the ceremony and propaganda one had to endure in a dictatorship such as Somalia

, and specially not at the movies, for God sakes I tought we were there to have a good time. Anyways , a zealous patriot from Xamar smacked me hard on the back of my head , and told me something like " war koor uu istaag cunuga , bila eedeb!!!" I was like " WTF dude , is that how you treat tourists down here?"
So there I had to stand and listen to the national anthem , and watch pictures of Afweyene , and thruth be told i never liked him since that day
