Garowe, May 20, 2019 – These days it is increasingly becoming rainy in Garowe, and all over the country in general. It is keeping me indoors, though I drive.

It could be bless in disguise. No wonder men of Mudugh Region say, “Be either with a woman or have abundance of good meat to stay warm” under such circumstances.

I confess I am not doing either of the two options these days, but agree that the saying of Mudugh men makes a lot of sense.

Thanks to Almighty, GU rains has come belatedly when everybody was in fear of a severe drought coming up. It was not to be.

Stay indoors and ignore the Mudugh Proverb.
