The Somali Muufo (Oven)
This is a rare cross-section of a traditional oven.
It was used to make the famous Muufo bread amongst other items.
The cooking pot as lid was a time and energy saving trick and allowed mothers to bake bread and cook the accompanying stew at once.
The somali word for pot is eela, digsi is a loanword from the Hindi/Urdu word Degchi (देगची), which refers to a round, deep, rimless metal cooking pot. Eela evolved from the word Ceel which meant a dug well/watering hole.
70% of their wealth is owned and controlled by controlled by the descendants of white people who put them under occupation, but the Nigerian guy down the road with a small grocery business is the one causing their economic problems. Imbecility disguised as nationalism .
Imagine going to a police station to help bail out your friend, only for a police officer to shoot you. That is exactly what happened to Ahmed Mohamed after he went to the station.
The police officer, based in Garissa, is identified as Kyalo. He reportedly asked Ahmed, “Who are you looking for?” and then shot him.
The officer remains free. Last year, Kipchumba Murkomen stated that if a police officer kills a civilian, they would not co-operate in prosecuting the officer.
This year alone, more than five people have already died inside police stations.
The question remains: who will protect Kenyans?
The most cited academic text on Somali nationalism was written by an Israeli Zionist. Let that sit for a moment.
Saadia Touval was born in Zagreb, raised in British Mandatory Palestine, and trained as an operative of the Haganah, the armed Jewish settler paramilitary that violently expelled Palestinians from their land and became the foundation of the Israeli Defence Forces in 1948. He Hebraised his surname as his family built itself into the new Israeli state. By 1963 he was at Hebrew University of Jerusalem. That is where he wrote Somali Nationalism, the book that taught the Western world what Somalis wanted and whether they deserved it.
The year matters. 1963 is the year the OAU was founded and colonial borders were locked in as permanent. It is also the height of Israel’s periphery alliance, a doctrine built on pulling non-Arab states into Israel’s orbit. Ethiopia was the centrepiece. A unified Somali state pressing against Ethiopian territory was a direct threat to everything that arrangement depended on. Touval knew this world intimately. He lived inside it.
What he produced was not scholarship. It was a verdict. The Somali demand for unity, rooted in a people carved across five colonial territories without their consent, was recast as regional destabilisation. An irrational appetite. A problem for responsible states to contain. There are no Somali-language sources in the book. No oral tradition. No xeer. No record of what Somalis actually said about themselves. Only British and Italian colonial archives, dressed up in the language of political science and published under the Harvard Center for International Affairs, which gave the whole thing the stamp of neutral academic authority.
Those conclusions then travelled. Diplomats inherited them. Policymakers built on them. Scholars cited them for decades without once asking who Touval was, where he was sitting, or whose interests his framing protected. The Somali case for unity was not defeated in argument. It was buried before the argument could begin, beneath a framework constructed by a man whose own state was founded on the principle that some people’s national ambitions are legitimate and others are simply a threat.
This is what the weaponisation of knowledge actually looks like. Not propaganda. Credentialled, footnoted, institutionally backed analysis that does the work of power while passing itself off as objectivity. Every time Greater Somalia has been treated as a threat rather than a cause. Every time Somali irredentism has been called expansionism rather than justice. You are living inside the world Touval helped construct. The question is whether we are ready to take it apart.
The Emiratis are suffering from schizophrenia. They’re doing everything to destabilize and divide our countries in the Horn of Africa, yet they complain when Muslims show no sympathy toward them.
