Footage displaying captured Ethiopian prisoners during the 1977 Somali-Ethio war. The militia men you see are not the Somali regulars but WSLF guerrillas supported with Somalia’s military hardware. Love the chanting in the end (“This is not an Ethiopian country, this is a Somali country”).

Soomaali baan ahay (I am Somali) – Abwaan Yam-Yam
Allahu naxaristo Abwaan Cabdulqaadir Xirsi Siyaad ‘YamYam’ oo tirinaya gabayga caanka ‘Soomaali Baan Ahay’. Codka waxa laga duubay sanadkii 1978. Dhageyso wacan! Late poet, Abdulqadir Hirsi Siad ‘YamYam’ reciting his famed poem ‘I am Somali’. Listen to his recital (1978) of the poem. I have added both the Somali and English transcriptions. Enjoy!
