Subscribers: Our map of territorial control in Somalia has been updated for May 2020, and upgraded to show state capitals, regional boundaries in the north, claimed borders for Somaliland and Puntland, and more accurate city and town sizes.

Somali Faces team completed its first digital storytelling training course in Burao. Made possible by Free Press Unlimited. We are proud of these young Somali youth who diligently benefitted from our course that lasted several days, touching on net-citizens, media awareness, ethics as well as teaching them how to capture stories effectively.  We were amazed at how we had to force them at times to take breaks because they were so immersed in the training. We would like to congratulate the participants who have completed our course in Burao and the three groups who have won awards for the best stories. We also would like to thank the wonderful audience that came to support them during the exhibition ceremony including the deputy governor of Togdheer.

"I used to despise marriage. I never thought I would ever get married. It all changed when I moved to Burao in 2000. I met my first wife Hodan there. I fell in love with her, but I believe you can love more than one person. My first wife encouraged me to marry, and I then met Fadumo. For over nine years, we were a happy, loving family; then I met Laki. Finally, my three wives introduced me to Bahsan who I married in 2017. It was a unique wedding. My first three wives were the bridesmaids.  I love being fair to people, and that is a quality that most people know about me. I believe that if you are just in this world, you will be rewarded in the HereAfter. We have 18 children altogether.  Our children differentiate between the different mothers and call them equally mother. Every day, I put them on a bus to school and then head to my workshop. If one my wives does the shopping, the others take care of the kids. We have such a great chemistry and teamwork, and there is no jealousy in our family. People might talk, but they can never pull our spirit down. Our happiness comes first. Whilst maintaining an automobile repair shop, I teach 40 young men how to perform mechanical work. I like to keep myself busy. I can't wait for my family to expand with grandkids."
