Helwa BV is right, ragga used to only go and raid other clans. Whilst dumarku used to build aqalka, cook the food, bring in the animals, look after the kids, wash the clothes etc. Nolosha geeljire was easy
Cumar I once went to the miyi for 6 months,it's beautiful in spring laakiin when jilaal was approachin I left
Life was easy for me but the other children had it hard man.Imagine leaving 8am with the animals and coming back 6pm.These are kids from the age of 6 and up
As for geeljire well they are gone for 3 months or more and only drink caano geel
Helwaa the animals maxaa kexeyn gire the young boys, the men used to sit under a tree. Guryaha maxaa samey gire the women and the girls, the men used to sit under a tree.
If you are geel jire you travel with your camels and so lama goodle culture = temporary accommodation no matter which degaan or qabiil. Unless you find a spot with good water and even then only until you get kicked out by a stronger qabiil. Walee what a pathetic existence
horta i always wondered, if the use of water is limited in the miyiga, what do they use to wash once they have gone behind the bush..i mean, we somalis.. i cant imaging anywhere in somalia where a grown man just gets up throws his miyi towel around his body and starts whistling a miyi tune whilst walking away...thats a fufu dhaqan right?
