I was reading the memoir of Professor Mohamoud Said Gees. it is a remarkable memoir and i learned a lot from it. We need such persons who can pass their experiences and knowledge to us. It is written in Somali and you will find this long memoir extremely educational and interesting to keep you at the edges of your seat with your eyes fixed onto the monitor. I, therefore, took this quote as it seems indicative, of some people of ours in that part of the country, of their known volatile disposition of conduct and attitude. Most Somalis, if you enquire them of Galgaduud and Mudug and Hiiraan, their answer is the theme on the variations of one popularly held perception about which they describe the above-mentioned regions as war-like people, but the Professor emphasizes the cause of such as the lack of proper care and growth by their parents who neglect them and the harsh environment they live, respectively.
