a pool of blood

Somalia has been in the dark for a long time,a darkness that was not caused by the loss of light.A real vicious darkness,thick and heavy,it still hangs in the corners of Somalia.This darkness was caused by light violently avoided and replaced by oppression,extra-judicial killings,rape,torture,and displacements of thousands of innocents people .One can feel that darkness everyday and in everywhere.The density of its smoke assaulted many people in the past and will do so in the future if its not avoided Over the years ,Somalia has witnessed calamities,from civil war to droughts that wreaked havoc in all corners of the country.
