Bosaso tax collection

[waryaa]

Have u ever had a knock on your door and the mailman asked you to sign a registered letter from IRS? Yes? That fast heartbeat before you open the letter is a child's play comparing to Bosaso local government.

Now, i know why the word canshuur (tax in somali) is synonymous with subjugation! A skinny guy with four or five armed/camouflaged men comes to your office and demands money. You say do you guys have an office where we can come and discuss this matter with authorities? The skinny guy says I am the authority, you pay this much money now or u'll spend the nite in jail. No wonder why these men have no sympathy from the public when they get assassinated in broad daylight.

waryaa welcome back, i was wondering what happened to you, you know somalia is not safe place to be.

at least will they give you receipt, cause they can come back and ask another payment.

[waryaa]

thnx bro hyper! i am still bullet-hole free just busy with regular daily chores. I started to like this crazy place!

Is the middle east still burning hot?

[Hyperactive]

i wouldnt mind the heat as long central AC on every where, but i hate the sand storms. i've serious allergy.

lol so you got use to the place? as long is safe and no bullets flying , one can explore it.

so tell us, did you give the tax money? do you accept US dollar?

[waryaa]

bro hyper, he wanted to get some tax money that had already been paid and we could not convince him that his numbers were wrong. @ the end I had to jump on to the back seat of the argument since i am not familiar with the norms around here. Others convinced him @ last and e and his bodyguards left us. Free at last

Another office in downstairs was not that lucky. They took an exec and his assistant because of what they described as a "foul language". The foul language was they asked the tax collector about his tribe and laughed at him. It was like adeer qolomaa tahay? that's irrelevant. another person said I know he him and he is ogaden. Then the exec laughed and said adoo ogadena miyaa bosaso tax xaaraan ah iiga qaadaysaa. The rest is history, the exec and his assistant were taken away.

[The-Screw]

Then the exec laughed and said adoo ogadena miyaa bosaso tax xaaraan ah iiga qaadaysaa.

lol, typical somali. the term ''retreat to fight another day'' meel kale ay ka martay. clearly they are outnumbered and out gunned yet pride still gets the best of them.

[Advo]

Walahi I never imagined such scene so vividly and precise, it was like I was there.

these niggas couldve been shot, but instead refused to miss a qbiil joke badly bothering them.

[waryaa]

screw/advo lol - welcome to somalia where ppl get killed or get imprisoned for being plain stupid. I am sure he will choose his words more carefully next time.
