The Cushitic language wasn't written until 1973. Feuding is a principal pasttime of the Somalis. Principally, they feud over the control of barkados, water for hire stations. Frankincense from the Boswellia tree is among the country's most prized exports. There are two rainy seasons, the gu and the dayr. And you better cough up the diya or the abbaan will lay down the shari'a, baaby.
