Abdulrahman writes about his home country of Somaliland

At 11 years of age, the armed Forces of Somalia started bombing our city – Hargiesa – which is the current capital of Somaliland. 500,000 unarmed civilians were killed in less than four months and another two million were displaced to UN refugee camps in Ethiopia.

I lost some of my relatives in the bombing including my grandmother. Half of my school friends died during the mass killing.

After three months of walking, we arrived in Ethiopia and registered at UN refugee camps. They supplied food and clothes, and even established schools. I restarted my schooling there. Many people died from malaria; mainly the elderly and children.

I met some of my old friends in the camp. Every child had a different story to tell, one told me that he lost all his family during the air bombing another said that soldiers killed his father and elder brother, and raped his sisters.

I later returned home with assistance from UN agencies, who provided transportation for us. Our houses were destroyed by the air-bombing and we had to restart our lives from zero point.

When I visited home later in my life, in 2005, I discovered that social services were much better; today, we have 24 hr electricity and water, we have streetlights, modern schools with computers; and remarkably, an elected President, Parliament and Municipality Council.

This is my story, and until today we are working on developing our country better.

I am a city dweller of Goma in the DRCongo, willing to be sharing some news, informations or stories with the BBC world service, i have been working since a year as a fixer during crisis and conflict situation , i helped many international press guys to go through their projects and collect sensitive infos of the area, meeting from time to time with rebells for interviews, driving in dangerous and wrong country roads , crossing front lines… . I think i can be pleased to share important infos with BBC.
Thanks.

Please don’t say or write lies about the Tamils struggle.Do you think we all are liers. When Britons caught Ceylon there were two seperate kingdoms and your ancestors united them into one for admininstrative convenience. They forgot to divide when they left in 1948. So, you Britons have a duty to end this war and give us our seperate independant state. Otherwise your generations are going to suffer for your mistakes. The sins wouldn’t leave you all.

Hi Nina, This concept sounds exciting. Thanks for introducing it. It should help all of us understand each others world a lot more. I might even contribute sometime. Even the twitter service offered is very good.
