"Saad" & many women in Somalia

Edna Adan and other strong matriarchal women run an amazing hospital and community in Somaliland

French President Nicolas Sarkozy signed a document in February honoring Edna Adan with the Legion of Honor. The award was first created by Napoleon. Normally, this honor – which amounts to a Knighthood and is the highest honor that France can bestow – is presented only to French nationals. The presentation was made in Hargeisa, Somaliland on April 17, 2010 by the French Ambassador.

Somaliland is trying to become a separate country from Somalia, but for now they are still semi-united.  This story takes place in Somaliland.

I.  Edna Adan and her sisters are right (healthy) when they say that Somaliland should be granted the status of a separate country from Somalia.

II.  She explains and states frankly how she and many other civic-minded compatriotes of hers in Somaliland have created a thriving and equitable society free of tribal warfare and the caos and criminal piracy that rules in the North.

III.  Many noble women have befriended her as they approved of her cause,

IV. and together they have become strong matriarchs in their communities.

V.  More women around the world are becoming informed (imagining) about their amazing work in Somaliland,

VI.  And together they are helping these woman to guard against, and beware of, and be cautious of threats to their thriving communities.

VII.  They don't want themselves to be fused with (or get melted together with) the the violent gangsters in the North,

VIII.  Sometimes they have nightmares in which they see themselves colliding and crashing with the North,

IX. and when that happens, they see dead bodies lying all over the ground unburied and turning yellow as they fade in the sun.

X.  The women feel bad for the innocent people in the North who are not involved in the violence and crime, and they ask for forgiveness and apologize to them for needing to separate from them now, but they know that they have to repair their own community in Somaliland first before they help their neighbors repair the community to the North in Somalia.
