[quote="Grant"]MG4Life,
Aniga ku mahadaya u jawaab!
(I hope that is comprehensible or at least that the idea comes thru. I do thank you.)
As I am sure you know, Somali news has not been widely broadcast here in the States. I just discovered S-net this year, and even here I have only been able to learn a little about the living conditions, access etc. in the lower Jubba.
Does mail service exist?
I am in Oakland California. We have visible Eritrean and Ethiopian coummunities here, but no Somalis that I have been able to identify. If any are here and see this, please contact me. I could be a good neighbor and friend.
I will continue to hope for news of my friends.
If the situation stabilizes in the South, I would like to spend a couple more years teaching English there, or doing anything else there that would help. I fell in love with the country and the people, almost like having it in my blood, perhaps made worse by not being able for so long to get word or visit.
My wish this Christmas day is for peace on earth for all men, but especially for those in Somalia.
Nabad,

California does has a large somali community,but not in Oakland but in San Digeo you'll probably will find help around this area.
