@A6Asap Man, it’s very basic. It’s a Sony ps-lx5bt. I picked it up bc connects easily to my existing tv audio system. I need more space for a classic hifi set up. I’m in Minneapolis. I did see promo for that! Hopefully they can come out here for a show, I’d be there in a heartbeat.

For those interested in Somali music, grab this one while you can. This album just dropped today. The quality of the mastering and restoration is seriously impressive. Plenty of classics on here from the legendary Dur-Dur Band to enjoy in rare quality 👌🏾. https://t.co/gOCkC2kjT1

@A6Asap You’re welcome, my man. My copy just arrived today in perfect condition. Shipping is pricey but it’s definitely worth it.

Today is the 40th anniversary of Ethiopian jets attack elementary schools in Borama. Remembering the slaughter.

On January 30, 1984, something awful happened in Borama, North of Somalia; Mengistu Haile Mariam planes killed in twenty-second eighty-four civilians, including thirty-five children, at Borama

@EngXamseYusuf Can you direct us to a source describing the SNAs assessment for NFD liberation? I’m curious to learn more.

@z11h29 I took a class on genocide studies in university w/a prof who was open about working with the state dept as a foreign policy consultant. He missed class for meetings lol. Plus he got his poli sci phd at John Hopkins 🤣. Dude was a fed and the coursework reflected it.

It’s our responsibility to take the gift of these past achievements and use them as symbols of hope for the future. We mustn’t stray from the path forged by those dignified men and women who came before us. To honor one’s people brings honor to one’s self.

@AshaariML @hayxtt This thread reminds me of a blog post I read a while back recalling a story told by Robert Mugabe. The 🇿🇼guerrillas asked 🇸🇴 for $1m & a month’s worth of supplies but instead, to their surprise, received $5m and YEARS worth of supplies. https://t.co/yclhwcbVJG

@mrobsiye AUN and condolences to you and your family. My mom recalls him often bringing her family sweets from abroad. Her fondest memory is when she flew on one of his flights to Rome in 1990 and he let her sit up front. It was her first ever flight. A true gentleman, he will be missed.

My growing vintage Somali vinyls collection appreciates this one.
