Camel’s are a national treasure. Through wars and peace, they’ve always been there. Very resilient and resourceful animals.

Once upon a time before the war when there were opportunities within
Somalia for men and women. It’s sad to see how a lot of the progress
that was accomplished post independence has been completely wiped out in
the past two decades. Hoping for a better future in this new year.

Education in British Somaliland ~ Colonial Times
The basis of education in British Somaliland during colonial times
consisted of a a chain of elementary schools established by the
Education Department in the various towns, giving three years’ course in
English, Arabic, arithmetic, the Qoran, nature study and hygiene. From
there, the most promising students progressed to the Primary School at
Sheikh, 40 miles inland from Berbera, where history, geography, science,
technical work and gardening were added to the curriculum. The boys
ages ranged from 13 to 17 and were expected to become the country’s
future teachers, government minor officials and administrators. They
lived in dormitories similar to English boarding schools and played
football, hockey and other British games. The Headmaster was an Army
Captain who was a school-master in England before he came to Somalia.
Advanced subjects were taught by British officers. There were several
Somali teachers as well. [source]
