After the collapse of the central government of Somalia, I raised my voice calling for peace. I wish my homeland and my people peace.



I have been working for humanity for 13 years and I encourage young people to study and work for peace. I was subjected to many threats during my work for humanity. I did not listen to those who wanted to stop me. My heart was always telling me that I was moving forward with every challenge I was going through and that it was over.



I was six years old before the collapse of the government. My family used to go to the movies and movies during the holidays. Me and my family go to the Somali National Theater. The National Theater is a place where movies and films are watched. It showcases the culture and traditions of Somalia. It was a place where people loved it and went to watch it every night, as I remember.



The civil war broke out in 1991 and the whole country was devastated. Many people, including my father and my husband, were killed. The country was evacuated to neighboring Africa and America. There were very few people left in the country and they did not move. They turned to fleeing or resettling in some regions, and we fled south to the capital, 300 ML. Our departures was by car, which was very difficult to travel by land for young children to leave.



It is a pleasure for a country that has been in ruins for 30 years to have its theater open, and I have attended the film with hundreds of people, including myself. It was the first film to be released in thirty years. I was sitting next to Faduma Haji when I asked her how she felt after watching the film tonight. Faduma Hassan, 50, inquired about her feelings. I felt so happy as I peacefully watched this movies.



she also said that my friend and I used to come at night during the peace period to watch movies together as students, and today he was one of the people who fled abroad, and we broke up and never found him again.



“It shows how hopes have been revived after so many years of challenge’s, its platform that provides an opportunity to Somali songwriters, storytellers, movie directors and actors to present their talent openly”



I am very happy to be in the first movie of the series. Peacefully watched,  I love peace. I have not seen peace since I met her, sighing and dying of bloodshed, and the child could not go to school.



 



I wish my country peace and stability one day. I wish the next generation to enjoy peace and not to face the challenges we have gone through.



 



\"I am a woman, I am a mother, I am a teacher, I am pursuing peace, education, dialogue, self-determination, compromise, justice, equality. I went on to say in my voice, \"A boy is not born in a war, he dies.\" I hope one day there will be peace and that is my hope.



 



The theatre was built in 1967 as gift from China’s the leader Mao Zedong
