The Poetry And The Times of (Hawa Jibril) BY: Faduma Ahmed Alim, Editor and Translator
24 Jul 2008 |
  Saa Waxay Tiri: maansadii iyo waayihii Xaawa Jibriil; Then She Said: the poetry and the times of Hawa Jibril
Vision of the Book:
It has long been the dream of Faduma Ahmed Alim to see her mother's poetry published in Hawa's lifetime. There are several compelling reasons to do so. Most Somali well-known and published poets are men. Hawa Jibril is someone rare: a women poet who reached renown, boldly using both male and female forms according to her themes. Hawa's work distinguishes itself by its versatility of content and form and by its span of over seventy years and a landscape that shifts from nomadic plains, to Mogadishu, to contemporary Toronto. She has composed poems to complain, when she was twelve, about her younger brother; to confront an abusive husband; to refuse a marriage proposal as a middle-aged woman; to inspire Somali women to stand up for their rights and to pitch in and work towards their social goals; to give simple words of advice to her granddaughter; to register a complaint about a poorly run hospital; and to challenge corrupted politicians.
Now Faduma has produced a manuscript of a bilingual book which she hopes to have it published in the near future. The book aims mainly at three audiences:
1. Somali women both in Somalia and in the countries of the Somali Diaspora who want a written memory of Hawa Jibril's poems
2. Second generation Somali immigrants who do n't necessarily know well the language, but would like to learn about their cultural heritage
3. English speaking non-Somalis, who would be interested in the work, including adults, university students, and middle and secondary school children
The book includes:
- 41 selected poems in Somali and English, spanning the years 1933 to 2000
- A preface in Somali and English translation, giving the history and background of the poems and Hawa's life and times.
- Black and white Illustrations, evoking the visual landscape of the poems and people, from the nomadic life of the 1930,s to contemporary refugee life in Canada.
- Photographs of some of relevant places and people
Hawa Jibril, Poet:
Hawa was born over 80 years ago in a small village in the Mudug Region of Somalia. Hawa doesn't know precisely her date of birth; however, she recalls that she was born in the year of ¡§the Sparkling Rains. This is no wonder as the traditional Somali pastoralists record orally the date of their childrens birth based upon the events surrounding their birth, such as a decimating clan war; a devastating drought and famine; great and bountiful rains; or other major calamities that befall their country, such as foreign invasion and colonial penetration.
When in 1993, Hawa entered Canada as a refugee and without any legal document; she never thought that her date of birth would be an issue. In fact, because of her inability to provide the month and the day she was born to the immigration authority, she had to wait for more than five years to get her Canadian landed status.
Hawa descended from a family of poets, including her father, three for her siblings, and one of her paternal uncles. Her father, Jibriil Mohamed Essa, was a prosperous camel owner, pious sheikh, and respected poet. People in his clan believed that he was endowed with baraka!¨ (blessing), and in times of impending clan war or drought, they would ask him to pray to God for them. Very often God would answer his prayers, thus gaining him the appellative of Af ku leeble! (Literally arrow-mouthed person.)
Since her childhood, Hawa liked poetry and enjoyed listening to Somali folk tales. She memorized all kinds of Somali folk literature: poetry, songs for the herds, work and entertainment songs and children's lullabies. She composes her poetry mainly in the two more common forms of the Somali poetry: gabay and buraambur, the latter predominantly used by women. Her poems tell about her inner feelings and personal relations and her perspectives on events directly connected to Somalia's contemporary history, including the struggle for national independence, the post-independence years of parliamentary governments, the period of military rule, the civil war, and the present peace and reconciliation efforts.
The themes of her poems include:
„X Family grievances including wife abuse
„X Songs for the Somali flag and independence
„X Criticism of bad government
„X Social justice and equality for women
„X Raising awareness about the practice of female genital mutilation
„X The effects of chewing qat
„X The civil war
„X Old age and illness
„X Solitude in a new country
„X Refugees in Canada
„X Hope for a Somali peace and reconciliation
In Somalia, Hawa Jibril frequently recited her poems in public forums, in the orientation centres, and in the Somali National Theatre. Several of her poems were broadcasted on Radio Mogadishu, and published in Xiddigta Oktoobar. She recited her poems on the BBC Somali Service, VOA Somali Servie, and the Toronto based CBC, OMNI Television, City TV, and Codka Beesha. The Somali version of her poem Refugees in Canada, and it's English translation (by Faduma Ahmed Alim), were published in Canadian Women's Studies, Volume 19, Number 3, York University Publication (Fall 1999). As one of the Somali poets who were invited to the Arta Somali Peace Conference hosted by the president of Djibouti, and held in Djibouti in 2000, Hawa composed and recited two poems - The Good Will Endeavor Promoted by Djibouti and Message to the Delegates. On this occasion, the president of Djibouti Ismail Omar Gelle, as a sign of admiration and respect, stood up and, walking over to her place, kissed Hawa on the forehead. The Somali version and French translations of these two poems, along with her poems O Somalis Stop Fighting, It Was A Dream, O Flag of Somalia, The Civil War, O, Daughters of Eve!, and I Had a Dream, were published in the Djibouti paper La Nation of 6 July, 2000.
In April 2007, Hawa's life history and poetry formed the central inspiration and narrative for Bridge of One Hair, created by Jumblies Theatre and premiered at Toronto's Harbourfront Centre New World Stage Festival. A selection of eight Hawa's poems were included in this show and published in the accompanying program: I Am Not a Bridled Camel, O Flag of Somalia, The old Men Who Are Holding Us Back, Sisters, The Fratricidal War, Refugees in Canada, Nostalgia, and I Had a Dream.
Faduma Ahmed Alim, Editor and Translator:
Faduma had her education in Somalia, Egypt and Italy. She has graduated from the Arabic Section of the Department of Middle and Near East Studies of the Oriental Institute of Naples, in 1962. She has served in Somalia's sectors of education and culture over 24 years as teacher, school inspector, administrator, and government officer. She is also a social activist promoting women's rights and an advocate for humanitarian causes and social justice. In Canada she co-coordinated various projects serving refugees and new immigrants such as language instruction for new comers (LINC), mental health and other educational and community development programs. She has also translated into Somali the resource books Caafinmaadka ay Haweenku Heli Karaan dealing awareness about HIV and AIDS produced by Women's Health in Women's and Kelidaa iyo Kanada produced by Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. In Somalia she co-founded various Somali women's associations, and over the years served in the boards of the following national and international organizations:
„X UNICEF Executive Board
„X Arab League Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization
„X Somali Women's Movement
„X Somali Women's Democratic Association

„X York Town Family and Children¡¦s Services
„X Montgomery Inn Museum
„X Community Social Planning Service-Toronto
„X Somali Immigrant Aid Organization (Presently Chair)
„X Jumblies Theatre (Presently board member)
Faduma speaks fluently Somali, Arabic, Italian and English. Both Hawa and her daughter Faduma, two of her grandchildren, and four great grandchildren are Canadian citizens.
Ruth Howard: illustrator
Ruth is a designer, visual artist, writer and the founder and Artistic Director of Jumblies Theatre. She has created and produced many original theatre events brining together urban communities and professional artists, including Once A Shoreline at Davenport Perth Neighbourhood Centre in 2004, and South Riverdale's Twisted Metal and Mermaids Tears in 2000. She has extensive professional experience across Canada and in England as a set and costume designer; teaching credentials at many universities and colleges; and has given many presentations and workshops in Canada, the U.K. and the U.S. She has also lead arts projects in numerous schools, with all ages and many collaborating artists..
Faduma has decided that self-publishing is the best way to bring Hawa's long-desired book into existence, and so she has recently signed a contract with ¡§AuthorHouse¡¨. She has already paid a basic publication fee, and the final manuscript is almost complete.
We are, therefore, asking those who would like to own a copy of Hawa's book, to pre-order a copy in order to support and expedite it's production.
For $30 you will receive a signed copy of the book, and your name will be included in the thankyous listed at the end of book. If the book is not available by the end of June 2008, then we will offer to return your money. I would like to pre-order ___ copy/copies of Saa Waxay Liri, Then She Said. |

  (TL) Moreover, Hussein’s earlier pan-Somali writings, partly a product of his intellectual activism and, as Samatar reported in his tribute, a promise he dearly protected in his prophetic mission to do something good for his ancestral land, Somalia, is captured by this endearing and theoretically sweeping quote from one of his treatise: “Clan and lineage antagonisms do not preclude a will to unite or a feeling of common destiny, especially with regard to the common foe. Somali (tribal) genealogies serve both to distinguish clan-families and clans and, at the same time, to remind them all of common ancestry.”

  (TL) IT WAS MAY IN ROME. I wished it were Sunday and my wife and I were climbing Monte Gennaro. The intercom buzzed; I had a call from Robert Oakley in Washington. Bob Oakley was our ambassador to Somalia, in Washington for consultation. We had agreed that on his way back to Mogadishu he would stop in Rome for lunch with people from the Italian foreign ministry. We and Italy each had a major interest in Somalia; we were both major aid donors; we often compared notes. Oakley said that he would be delayed in leaving Washington. He went on to say that he had just learned that he was to leave his post, to head the State Department's anti-terrorism office. A big, hard job, I said; congratulations. Who's going to replace you in Somalia? I don't think they've given that any thought yet, he said . . . . Would you be interested?, My question had come from simple curiosity and I had not expected his question in return. I thought for a minute. Yes, I said. I'd be interested.

»How Ethopia Captured And How To Liberate Somalia, By:Prof. QAASIN XIRSI FAARAX 28 Mar 2007 |
 (TL) It took a long process for Zanawi and his guerrilla tribal warriors to capture Somalia and get access to the longest seashore in Africa, by changing the map of their country from a landlocked state to semi-peninsula. In the context of this article, I will highlight some points of the process, while many others are left for the reader’s discretion. obviously, both Somalis and Ethiopians are religious radicals and even serious fanatics by nature. Moreover, both are religious extremists, i.e. either in exacerbation or falling behind religious duties. One can realize so when seeing how individuals are always on one of the two extremes.

»Gambia's President Claims to Cure AIDS-By: The New York Times 15 Mar 2007 |
 (TL) Yahya Jammeh, president of Gambia, treating an H.I.V. patient at the State House in Banjul, Gambia. (Photo: Tanadland) A report on the English-language Web site of Spiegel Online draws our attention to Yahya Jammeh, the president of Gambia, who claims that he has the power to cure H.I.V. and AIDS, but can do so only on Thursdays. Yahya Jammeh, 41 years old, has been the president of bitterly poor Gambia since seizing power in a putsch in 1994. In the three so-called elections since then, he has not relinquished his seat. Among his achievements to date have been giving Gambia’s 1.6 million citizens an impressive triumphal arch — just like Napoleon gave the French — as well as founding Gambia’s first and only university.

»'KNOTS' CONVEYS SENSE OF HOPE FOR SOMALIA, BY: PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW 11 Mar 2007 |
  (TL) In Nurrudin Farah's "Knots," Cambara, a Somalian expatriate, leaves the comfort of her life in Canada after the death of her young son, hoping to reclaim family property from a Somalian warlord. That she has little more than determination and conviction makes her pursuit illogical, and Cambara's initial efforts are fraught with failure. Farah, the noted Somalian author of nine novels, including the "Blood in the Sun" trilogy, provides a keen, sometimes horrifying look at a country that often is in the news, but rarely understood. Recently, writer Nurrudin Farah was in his native Somalia, trying to broker peace between the government and some Islamists who had taken control of Mogadishu. At one point, a taxi he was riding in was stopped; two guns were pointed at his head.
