Heesihii lumay
-----
Heestan waxa la qaaday bishii November 28, sanadkii 1957kii. Waxa magaalada Addis Ababa ku duubay fanaankii Axmed Cawad oo aan h**e halkan ugu baahinnay sadex heesood oo uu Radio Addis Ababa u duubay sanadihii 1956-1958kii.

Fanaan Axmed Cawad oo ah fanaan aan Somalidu badankooda aqoonin waxa uu ka tirsanaa koox magaceeda la odhan jiray 'Kabacad' oo ka mid ahayd kooxihii uu ku bilaabmay fanka casriga ah ee Somalida intii u dhaxaysay dagaalkii WW2 iyo gobannimadii Somalida. Inkastoo aan falcelinta hessihii aan h**e halkan ugu baahinnay ku arkay dad ku tilmaamay in uu Axmed Cawad ka soo jeeday Carabtii dhulka Somalida ku dhalatay, haddana Axmed waxa uu ka mid tahay tiirarkii ugu horreeyey ee fanka reer magaalka Somalida intii ka horraysay 1960kii.

Heestani waxa ay ka mid ahayd 11 heesood oo Somali ah oo lagu duubay magaalada Addis Ababa 1955-1959kii, kuwaas oo cajaladahooga loo qaaday dalalka Yurub.

Harar, the Forgotten Islamic City (documentary):

This documentary explores Harar’s strategic origins, the legacy of the Harla people, its relations with the Negus, and its place in the history of Adal and Ethiopia. It highlights Sultan Muhammad’s contributions to preserving the city and examines how Harar’s heritage can inspire future generations. It also explores the Harari diaspora and the role of traditional institutions such as the Afocha in preserving cultural and religious identity. The title reflects Harar’s limited recognition within the wider Muslim world, where its rich Islamic heritage is often overshadowed by narrow accounts, including those focused on Arthur Rimbaud’s coffee trade.

This incense burner found at Sheikh Sabryn musoleum at Bulhar dating to around the 11th century. Looks very similar to one from around 1900 held at the British Museum.
