A story told to me by my father that only befits telling today because Aramoi (as he called him) passed on earlier today. We should let the dead rest.

The event happened in early 90s. Minister Hussein Maalim (Maendeleo) organized every clan in the North to donate camels. The day came when the 100s of camels were to be gathered in Aramoi’s farm in kabarak. They were welcomed with crates of sodas and bread as they waited for mzee to come and receive the gifts of camels. Aramoi appeared at 1pm and somali girls entertained him with traditional dances
