Quirky little memorial in Hargeisa which includes some explanations but sadly none in English. Commemorating the struggles the Somaliland people experienced under mother Somali rule.

a symbol of the selfless hero who fought for his nation, drove the enemy out of the country, I will never forget the reward of the right-wing organization #snm, the Republic of Somaliland ✊🏽 💚 ❤
