I came into the office this morning and was having my daily catch-up with some colleagues. It suddenly occurred to me every pressing news we discuss to either include in the news is almost always about fightings and attacks that are constantly taking place in Somalia. We discuss which group has taken over which city and who's the leader of the day in any given area. And we do so without a blink of an emotional eyelid. Civilians dying, religious and social groups fighting each other, the slaughter of young men and women has become the norm of a daily routine in Somalia. It baffles me how people who share the same religion, race, language and culture can be so inhumane towards each other. Nevertheless it seems that when tragedy occurs on a daily basis, the frequency numbs our emotions.
On a more lighter note, I found a Safeway six blocks from where I live last night after walking around for what seemed like an eternity! I managed to buy me some fruit and veg though :)
P.S. did you guys know that pharmacies here sell everything but human flesh? Americans love their one-stop convenience. lmao
